Not sure how I feel about doing this, but I figure I'll give it a try and see how I like it...
Where to begin?
I'm unemployed, striving to find something decent and in range until I can either have constant use of a vehicle, or win the freakin' lottery.
I room with two other guys, John and Karl. Karl can be hard to figure out sometimes, but is basically a very caring, good guy.
John has his quirks, too, but is so giving and trustworthy. All they ask in return for my residency is that I keep the place fairly picked up, and cook when needed. In both cases, obviously, it's only expected when I am around.
I have a very wonderful, loving, caring, sweet, intelligent, sexy and gorgeous girlfriend in Megan, and there isn't a day goes by I don't thank whatever force put her in my path. I mainly have my lovely Sister Becky to thank for that, I suppose.
Thanks, Beck-a-bee!
As far as family as a whole goes, I consider myself extremely lucky. My Father wasn't around much when I was little, so I was mainly raised by my Mother and Grandmother. But hey, he was out trying to provide for his family (truck driver), so I hold no ill will towards him because of that. I was an only child for almost seven years, when my Sister Rebecca was born. Two years later Stephanie was born. A little over two years later after that bore the baby of the family, our Brother, the last of our clan, Keenan. My parents are still together (27 years!), and very happy and loving. My Father is now around more for my siblings, still a truck driver, but with a much better schedule. I am very happy that my Sisters and Brother get the chance to spend more time with him than I did. I suppose I probably don't feel as close to him as I do my Mom, but that is to be expected, I guess. If I were closer, I would probably be just as short-tempered as he was (during my formative years), and I am told I am found to be an exceptionally patient, open-minded person. I like that.
So, a quick synopsis on life in general and my family, and I will try to keep this fairly updated.
