Wave of the future

That was then, this too shall pass

1. I never graduated from high school. I dropped out the middle of my Junior year. I was a 3.5 student up until then. I did it my way, I survived...
2. I'm a journeyman ironworker. I began my career as a Local 27 Ironworker the day I turned 18 and I was passionate about it for 5 years. The next 3 I couldn't wait to get out. I took all my money, quit my job and went into real estate full time. I survived...
3. My true calling in life was probably to be an artist. Before high school got to me, my colored pencil still life drawing won best of show in the 9th grade.
4. I used to wear a cowboy hat, reload ammo, went hunting every year, drove a 4x4 and I was an avid archer. Archery is still cool, I could always get back into that. Oh yeah, there was a mullet! I survived...
5. I've been married for 6 years, but we've been together for 10. You'll be seeing a lot more of the Mrs. in '08. She's really getting into the bike thing.
