Joe's Story
Life
Not much to say here. I'm 44 years old and honestly thought I'd be dead by now. I'm happily divorced with 2 daughters.
Currently I work at the University of Notre Dame in the Student Activities Office as the "Handy Man". I maintain the woodwork, electrical systems, plumbing systems, building structure, etc..., as well as build furniture for various offices and student organizations and clubs.
After High School, I enlisted in the US Airforce where I was stationed at Grissom AFB as a Law Enforcement Specialist, Desk Sergeant, Flight Training NCO, and SWAT [repelling] instructor.
I have come to realize that there is more to life than "goofing off" in class (although it's not as fun) and have become somewhat of an " A- hole" when it comes to dealing with people who think they are important.
Things I've learned since High School; getting stabbed really hurts, time does not in fact heal all wounds ( I still don't like several people)...Expand for more
, there comes a time when one should just stop drinking, an ass kicking only hurts for a little while, if you have the balls to get on a stage in front of 1,ooo people, hearing them laugh is better than sex and nothing beats Sinatra.
Oh well, times change and so do people. Everyone moves on with their lives and old friends drift apart.
It's amazing when one actually starts to think about it. The friends we had in school were the best. The parties, football games, and yes the drinking. 25 years later and we're lucky if we see each other at the supermarket twice in the same year. Now, the only common bond left is that we went to the same school.
Well, to those of you who may stumble across this, I hope you're doing well! Feel free to drop me a line or 2 at ndwheel05 at yahoo. If you visit and don't drop me an email, then I most likely didn't like you anyway. If anyone know the whereabouts of Matt Harrison, please let me know.
