I am 35 years old born in april, I grew up in Ironwood Mi. but moved away when I was 12, since then I have lived in alot of places, from one side of the US to the other, of them all i'd have to say my favorite was Sweet Home, Oregon. Currently I reside in Antigo WI. where I was employed as a bartender. Not my first nor probably my last line of work. Things around here have been shot since the economy went bust. I started my illustrius career choices by getting a factory job right out of high school, 2 weeks after graduation I was working for the Vulcan Brunswick Bowling Pin Co. making those pins you see on the pba tours on tv, the big B and the gold colored pins. After 10 years of that I was laid off when they had to get rid of 2 shifts so within a month I got a job working for a Miller beverage distributer, delivering beer and such. That lasted a year before they sold thier routes to a competing company from out of town and so I was once again out of work. Another factory job opened up this time in a wood mill making furniture parts and moulding for bigger projects, only this time it lasted only 6 months before people's paychecks were actually bouncing and they started to lay people off. Well once out of there I started Bartending. It's was actually a decent job, I enjoyed the social atmosphere, which is odd because if i wasn't working there the last place i'd choose to hang out would be a bar. Go figure. Anyway I then moved to Wausau where I started at a company called Linetec I now work in thier field service crew. I travel around the US painting window frames or building panels on the sides of skyscrapers, condo's and residential homes. Anyway more about me, I've always been an avid sci-fi fan going back to childhood, I enjoy photography, hence my presence here, not to mention i enjoy looking at all the fine artwork done by others, I wish I had half the creativity some of these people show. I also enjoy computers, reading, video games, mostly ps2, I golf on occasion hike alot, go fishing, movies, and some days I just like to pick a direction and drive, with no set destination, just explore. In the winter I hibernate, I can't stand the cold, it was fine when i was a kid, but since i've moved back here from out west I can't hack it, heh. Well thats me in a nutshell, theres alot more to me, but I just don't feel like typing anymore, besides i've already given probably more info than is wise, I've already had an internet stalker once before, heh, see what comes of playing MUDS.
