James's Story
Life
Life after High School, or the little that I showed up to... Lets see, there are so many things that I wanted to say to those friends that I actually wanted to keep in contact with since then, I guess I'll use this time for that now...
Well, I dropped out of High School twice, it wasn't a challange and I was bored with it, I found it completely pointless (as if I'm going to need to know how long it'll take Johnny to go from his house to the store then to marry's house)... I requested a transfer to Tri-Cities Alternative school (yeh, I requested to be transfered to where they send all of the expelled students) when my best friend Brandon got transfered there (we both lived about a mile from there, easier commute and more to do).
Well after I finished my studies there I continued with Clackamas Community College for some computer and business classes, I wasn't really going for a degree, I just wanted to get the associated knowledge.
Well, I found out that school is not a thing you can do without paying for it and began working and hopping around job's and talking to friends online and meeting new people through friends.
In April 2002 I got married to one of my best friends Samantha Corthell, and in 2004 we found out that she's pregnent, so that brings a baby into the light in 2005.
I have a dog named Furball, I've had him since I was in Jr. High (seems like so long ago); I know that without him I definately wouldn't be where I am today, heck, I don't even think I would be here today...
I enjoy movies, music, basically anything that can keep me nice ...Expand for more
and busy... I also enjoy networking, computers, "alternative" operating systems (non-windows preferrably). Friends can only keep me so busy so I find myself seeking more responsibility at work.
I work for a Web Host which is based out of the UK, I love that I can provide all of the support in the US for a company outside ;).
My work area is a mess, I have 5 phones on my desk (2 differant lines), outdated calendars (well they will be in a few weeks), linux and web design books on the book shelf, computer boxes on the tables, if it's geek and you can name it it's here somewhere...
School
Where to start with the school subject... I didn't really have a teacher that expired me, then again the whole school idealism was just too slow for me... I guess if I had to choose one it'd have to be the Algebra I teacher Mike Rose.
I don't think that if I had a chance to go through HS again that I would, everything that happened was what ended up forming me as an adult... I guess that I would have definately tried more things that I was afraid to do at the time though, make more friends, open up to more people...
All of my funniest memories always end up revolving around Jerrald "JD" Dietz, Brandon "B" Ebeling, and myself... I seem to remember pushing JD through the McD's drive through a few times; just chilling around with my bud's, and getting into some other general mischief..
