Manuel's Story
Well after high school I attended Evergreen Valley College and studied Criminology. I wanted to be a Police Officer but changed my mind after a few years. I worked for Pacific Bell for 5 years then left there after the divestiture in 1985. I worked for my sisters cleaning service for a few years and then had my first born in 1987. Oh yes I got married in 1987 (May) and then worked for a nice lady at her answering service in Cupertino for 2 years. Moved to Fresno and Managed McDonalds Arbys Carls Jr and a few other businesses. Had great sales but got bored.
Worked as a laborer installing and repairing water pumps for a water well company based in Watsonville. I got bored with that but it was great physical work and I grew my arms to almost 18 inches and was looking good. From there I joined the US Army and had an 8 year committment. I really enjoyed that, but did not get to travel overseas. Stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and then Fort Riley,Kansas.
After the military I went to school at Fresno State and earned my Baccalaureat of Arts degree in Speech and Language Pathology and then completed 1 year at the Masters level and decided that I did not want to do that either because there were really a lot of asshole instructors at State and working at Fresno Unified School District that I could not stand. Anyone who refers to their clients (the kids) as retards really needs to reevaluate their jobs and get the heck out if they feel that way. I wanted no part in that mess.
As a sideline I do background extra work whenever I get a wild hair up my ass. I have met Will Smith and Chris Gardner in Pursuit of Happyness along with Gabriele Muccino The Director and Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon in Four Christmases. I am in a dark blue Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab at SFO and pass the camera when Reese and Vince are arguing outside of the airport before getting into a taxi. I am also in the airport as a holiday traveler.
I am currently employed by the US Treasury Department and future employment opport...Expand for more
unities and educational goals are to be a crane operator and to learn how to fly an airplane (the new 7E7 Dreamliner).
I have 5 sons, 4 from my EX (Oh yes, I got divorced) and a 3 year old that she had. His father is a gang banger and does not acknowledge him so I do. Love the boy dearly as if he were one of my own and he is. I have custody of my 4 and I see her son everyday too.
I rehooked (I know it is not a real word but roll with it ok) up with some army buddies and it is great. Need to open new channels for all of you all in High School. I have lost my hot body and I am searching for it now. I am lightly working out on the treadmill and weight machine and as soon as I get back to decent shape I will shurly (Phonetically spelled) post the pics.
I have done a lot of fun stuff in my life but I did it my way. I do not like to be tied down to one job and be know for being good at one thing. I am of the mindset that it is better to know a little about a lot than a lot about a little. I will never stop learning and I am currently working on learning a few more languages. I love talking, chattin, and emailing.
Love MMA, Some football, and basketball. Baseball and golf are boring to watch. I love watching movies, eating out (Don't be dirty) lol, You may be right. I have a nack for speaking the truth but in a non offensive way and I do not lie. If I do not want to tell the truth I just do not answer the question, however that is very rare. Everything is open and I expect the same. No question is too private as long as it is tit for tat, So don't be afraid to ask, I do not get offended.
Any way I have had a great life, not the American dream, but still real nice. I have my own dreams and they do not involve being part of a cookie cutter dream. We are all different and life may not have turned out as we were told it should be but as long as you do it your way and you are happy with it and no one is getting hurt by it, then you are doing well.
Best wishes to all who read this and I hope to hear from you all some time.
