Kinda lol...John Joseph Banko

My mother is Sherri Chappell who is the child of Mom and Poppy

Hmm...where to start. I can't ever really pinpoint one favorite time. There have been so many. And they seem like forever ago. I definitley will never forget going hiking in the woods of Aunt Vicki's backyard lol. Me and Bradley have had some funny encounters along with me, matthew, and marisa too. By the time we actually got through the forest and back to the house we were covered in mud. I also remember going to the kentucky kingdom and riding my first huge roller coaster. I was with Bradley and Lisa and Scottie and probably Zack too. But somehow they tricked me into going on this thing(the chang i think it was) and that was it. Never been afraid of those things since. Thanks guys cause I love roller coasters now. I'll have to add more to this part later

I definitely miss being a little kid and hanging out with my cousins at Mom's house. There have been so many occasions where we played in the yard lol and had a great time. Playing football and hide and seek or tag or whatever it was we did. But as for traditons I don't know...that's what I think of. I guess the were like family get togethers or something like that. Cookouts. hmm. And also growing up my mom always made sure that we had to have a family dinner every single night. Which at the time was always in the middle of what I wanted to do like go outside and play or watch tv. So back then it wasn't my favorite but looking back its awesome that we always got the family time in. Not so much anymore.

The funniest family stories that I remember all have something to do with my cousin Matthew Balter. Somehow/someway when we were growing up he always found some way to get hurt. Whether it be running face first into the sliding glass door on thanksgiving one year(hilarious), running into the side mirror of a truck and falling down, or falling from a tree and breaking that arm(not so funny). But there are many more stories just have to sit around and talk about em one day lol. But definitely a lot of fun.

New in the life at the moment...well as of right now I'm spending some time with my family, including my Aunt Vicki who is visiting at the moment. I have been working a lot lately. Work sucks...lol. And in the spare time that I do have I have been spending a lot of time with my friends going out on the late nights. I pretty much have Saturday nights, Sundays and Mondays off. And just recently my son(little Nicholas) and his mom(Amanda) came back to Florida from their long trip to New York. So I'll be looking forward to spending as much time with him as possible. That's it for now
