How do you simplify 20 yrs into 8000 characters? I have gotten married, moved from maryland to Texas, to Nebraska, back to Maryland, to Tennessee, back to Maryland, to Tennessee again and then BACK to Maryland (for some reason I can't seem to escape this place!). In that time my wife and I have had 2 children. I have worked in various aspects of construction, including tile setting, granite countertop installation and fabrication. I spent 5 years doing long haul truck driving and am now going back to college to get a degree in nursing. Of course there's all those pesky hidden details of life that give it spice, the ex lovers, the late night drunken parties etc, etc, etc but I think that all I have shared, suffices. I have lived life, found it to be a good thing and am content in it.

Uuummmm, yeah, right. I tried to be a nice person and get along with others where possible. i made graduation with an unexciting C gpa. I played football for 2 full seasons (tried a 3rd but it turns out the coach was a real d***head so THAT didnt work!), wrestled for 2 seasons and got tired of getting my ass whooped. I played rugby for Coach Williams from my freshman year to my senior year, in my sophomore year and junior year I played with St. Mary's college as well and in my senior year I played for the high school team and Pax River Rugby Club. I also was a member of Coach Williams 82nd Highland Regiment for all 4 yrs. The funniest story I can remember was the day the rugby team got dressed up in kilts at around 2nd lunch period and went off to the cafeteria to show off. On our way to the cafeteria someone suggested we go "regimental" (no underwear) and we agreed. What we weren't aware of was the fact there was a strong breeze blowing. We raced out the front door by the office and all our kilts headed north! (a real Marilyn Monroe moment!)About 15 min later we were in Coach Williams room getting chewed out by the coach AND Mr. Craft. (remember him?). By the way if anyone is intersted, Mr. williams is still teaching there. I was surprised to find this out. Also I've heard theres plans to rebuild the whole school 1 section at a time. pretty wild huh?
