i was born in dallas, tx on march 31, 1978.
we lived in the dallas area for a few years.
my family then moved to florida. there's only one memory i have of florida, and
that's playing with a toy gas station. my brother was there with me and kept
telling me to be quiet, as my parents were still sleeping.
we had a large grove of orange trees in which i'm told i liked to hide in while
my parents worriedly searched for me.
eighteen months later we were back in texas, living in grapevine i believe.
we've been here ever since.
sometime later we were living in lake dallas. i enjoyed my childhood there. i
was pretty well known, and had a pretty short temper. i broke my arm while
playing sardines with some friends. 3½ hours of surgery, and 6 weeks later i was
fixed.
my parents split up when i was like 7 or 8. so my mom, brother and i moved to keller
with my new step-dad.
as i got older, my sole mission was to get out of the house. my step-dad tried
to keep me away from his business computer, but i always found a way in. this is
what really sparked my interest in computers, which has been my favorite
industry to work in.
my brother had gotten me a job at an isp. this was a huge jump in pay, compared
to the part-time job i had at ups. this new job enabled me to fulfill my mission
of getting out of the house, so at 19 i got my own apartment.
i’ve been married and divorced, had a few relationships, and now i’m on the
search again. it’s the one thing i’m lacking in life now. it’s not that i need
someone to make me whole, i just need a playmate. it’s no fun playing monopoly
alone you know.
i'm in las colinas now and love it! i work pretty much right across the street so i have no commute. i'm inbetween dallas, addison and fort worth, so i can be anywhere pretty quickly. i wonder how long i'll stay here...
