I'm on facebook/twitter/google as brim72! School? Well, let's see... I was crushin' on a few young ladies there at the 'born'! But the one I liked most had to be an 89' graduate, Tracy Smith (I believe that was her last name), she was in my chemistry class. She was also my lab partner on a few Chem assignments. Ruby was our chemistry teacher. The class kinda clowned on me a lil bit, cause the teacher favored me some, but that was cool too! It was Ruby & Mr. T that really gave me a good push in life! It was their idea to submit me for a statewide Math/Science test, for internships in Engineering, Medical, and other industrial sponsers! Unbeknownst too many, 'Buckle Up' (that was my high school nick - assigned to me! lol!) had a lot of female friends! To the fellas a quiet nerd, but to the ladies a piano playing, short story/poem writing, layered individual, that was aspiring to be an Engineer in the Auto industry! There's only 1 male person that peeped my game - Shawn. They called us the piano brothers. Apparently, it's true that great minds think a like. He too, was doing the same thing! lol! Next, let's see... Ummm, oh! How could I forget the Great Singer Nina Gigger?! OMG! This was another girl that I was crushin' on! I really expected to see her do something more public than her choir singing at a small church off of Van Dyke, not too far from Kettering High... (she killed it at her church too! thx for the invite Nina) I remember her coming into the talent show audition and was able to hush, the LOUD crowd of students with a tear jerker of a song about finding her lover on his wedding day(to marry someone else!). Her audition sent goose bumps all over my body, she had a beautiful voice! Everyone was in awe! In the two short years, that I spent at the 'born', one of my elects was Band with Mr. Ashley (who by the way, had a very sexy niece! - could NOT believe the two were related!) In Band, the names Ron Otis, Jermane - Trombone Player, Mike ---- and Mike Smith had the band on lock! Up comers, as myself, Kalefonda, Shawn, Tara ---- and others that may the day pass by too quickly! I truely enjoyed that class! There was one individual that changed my life completely, Chena Smith! We tried the dating thing, but we agreed we were better friends than anything else... Through the years Chena introduced me to two of her friends. (How many fellas can say that they're ex' introduced them to her girlfriends! Ha lol!) Any way, she introduced me the 1st one, it was cool at first but fissled out within two years. Then the next one, I fell in love with and married! College I went to college probably way too soon! I was attending college the day of my highschool graduation ceremony! Back then, I was working at Mc Donald's and going to school. At the time, that wasn't out of the norm! I always had a part-time job somewhere while I was going to school. But I guess, nah I know I was burned out by the time college came around! I plan on taking online courses, just for self gratification but nothing more! Workplace I knew at a very young age that I loved earning my own money! I got tired of being told that 'I can't afford that!' or 'What do you need that for?', from my parents. I wanted to start making my own money, so I could buy the things that were important to me at the time! (Transformers, Model Cars, Star War figures, etc... lol) My chores included mowing the lawn and snow removal. So, I asked my mother if I could mow the neighbors lawn, for $5 (he rarely did it, due to working alot of hours at Ford). Wasn't alot of money then, but now that I think about it, it was more than minimum wage, for about an hour's work! I was 10yrs old when I started mowing lawns and shoveling snow. Back in 84', when we had the huge snow storm, I was one of the kids knocking on your door asking you, "Sir or Maam, Do you need your sidewalk/driveway or help getting your car unstuck?" No matter what t...Expand for more
