In the beginning, I was born. The rest, as they say, is history. On November 18th, 1982 I came into this world; I don't remember much about that morning, as it was really early, and I'm not a morning person. I came in 3rd place following my older brothers Ryan and Tyler, which are 2 1/2 and 5 years older than me, respectively.
In school, I was not a stranger to discipline. Without exaggeration, I was suspended in the 5th through 9th grade over 100 times (with exaggeration, maybe 150 - 200). I didn't get suspended for fighting, bringing weapons, or other violent acts - I got suspended for talking; well, talking-back; being disrespectful, distracting, disruptive, and other things that start with 'dis'. Once I got into High School, I figured out how to stop getting into trouble; I dropped out. I actually dropped out of school twice; once in 10th grade, and then again in 11th (I gave a whole new meaning to the term 'Unsuccessful Drop-out'). I am not saying that I support dropping out of school, but it worked for me.
When I was fifteen years old, I got my first job at Taco Bell. Since then I've had 143 different jobs. Okay, I've only had about 20, but that's at the time of me writing this, who knows if I'll ever get back to update this (I don't really like writing "about me"). I've worked at Arby's, Albertson's, Best Buy, Bullwinkle's - Family Fun Center, FreeInternet.com, Jack In The Box, Deno's Pizza, Qwest, Allied-Barton Security, Wendy's, Red Robin, Chase, Wireless World, Seattle Specialties, Safeways; selling the newspaper, and various other places doing telemarketing. I was also a Bell Ringer for the Salvation Army one Christmas season, did you know that those people make more than minimum wage?
