David's Story
I always wanted to be a rock star when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a crazy idea. As it turns out, they were right.
I like to relax by sleeping. If I can't sleep, I fish.
The wildest thing I ever did in high school was help a bunch of seniors on Senior Day rip a toilet out of one of the girls bathrooms, and set it on top of the principal's car with empty beer cans in the bowl!
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have coffee, doughnuts, and total silence to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
Underdog is my hero
I have lived in Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado Arizona, Minnesota and now North Dakota. For the most part I moved so much because I was restless. Im not restless anymore.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Karen Hitchcock, because I always had a crush on her..
Hockey, baseball, basketball. HATE reality TV of ANY kind...sports is real, watch those! LOVE DOGS! And I'm obsessed with never growing old....not working too well on that right now...maybe later on itll pan out for me.
The aforementioned "getting old" has been my biggest surprise in life. Guess I thought it would never happen to me...guess again!
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the whole thing and add on a whole new house. My dream home would be better.
I would love to see Mr. Ribble, my 7th grade math teacher again. While I'm sure I was never his favorite student, his class has always stuck out in my mind for some reason. I can remember very few of the teachers I had in Junior High, but Mr. Ribble's math class has always stuck with me
If I won $100 million, I'd give none of it to anyone, then spend the rest on me, me and me!. Okay, just kidding....$100 million? Wow! Ah, guess I would give about 70 percent of it to help feed starving kids...I'd give another 20 percent to animal rescue. 5 percent to Susan Komen Cancer Foundation in memory of my sister, Shelley, 2.5 percent to do something about illiteracy, 2 percent to Save The Whales, and .5 percent to buy everyone I know a large pizza...whatever is left over I'll put in the bank and give to my daughter when I'm dead.
To be truly happy? Seriously? I do not believe that TRUE happiness can be given by one person to another. TRUE happiness, in my humble opinion, comes from within each of us...if we seek it ou...Expand for more
t we can find it. But it will NEVER be found in another person....maybe in the eyes of a new born child, or a baby's laugh, or the way they smile at you when they are truly happy, but a man or woman, lover or friend cannot ever bestow happiness on another person...if you are happy first and sarae your inner happiness with others that is different.
My current age is 47. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be walking around with canes and walkers. I was so completely misguided by all those other 12 year olds!.
My career aspiration is very simple....to have one! A career that is!
I drank it! Okay my first "girl" crush? I don't know, Rhonda Bowman, what happened to you?
My best friend would tell you I'm crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as out of my head nuts!.
Very simple style...I don't have any. Blue jeans, t-shirts, white socks. NO ties, NO dress pants, NO dress shirts, and absolutely, positively NO SUITS!
I wouldn't call it the wierdest job I ever had, but I saw some of the strangest things! I worked last summer as a road construction flagger...the guy who stands on the side of the road with the "Stop/Slow" sign? Very good money, but drivers are VERY strange people sometimes. Too many weird and strange things happened for me to describe here, but suffice to say that EVERYTHING you do at home CAN and IS done in a car. I know, I'VE SEEN IT!
I share my home with mice, which I find entertaining at times. Seriously, I presently live in a third story apt in a building in Fargo, ND that has been here since the town probably came to life! I live here by myself and right now I am pretty happy with that.
LISTEN to what Mr. Ribble was saying about math!
In 10 years, I hope to be living in my own home. I'm going to get there by working hard and saving money...oh and staying away from crazy women!.
What about me would surprise everyone at my high school reunion? The fact that I showed up at all would surprise 99.99 percent of them....since most of them never knew me.
My first job was at Poor Bob's Seafood Restaurant in Casper, Wyoming, where I got paid $2.90 an hour to bus tables. What I remember most about it is Paula, the waitress who kissed me one night when it was slow and we were standing out back smoking. She just leaned over and planted one right on me!.
