LOCATION: WARREN, OHIO.
EDUCATION: K-12 IN THE WARREN CITY SCHOOLS. IF I HAD TO DEPEND SOLELY ON THIS, I WOULDN'T BE QUALIFIED TO CLEAN THE SHITTER AT McDONALD'S. MY EXPERIENCE WAS PURE HELL. WE HAD ONE ADMINISTRATOR THAT LOVED TO DISCRIMINATE. I WILL NOT SAY NAMES HERE. I HAD A FEW GOOD TEACHERS THAT KEPT ME GOING. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE LOST CONTACT WITH THEM.
KENT STATE UNIVERSITY: MAJOR IN MUSIC.
YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY: MAJOR IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS, MINOR IN MUSIC. CLASS OF 1993.
WESTERN RESERVE INSTITUTE POLICE ACADEMY: CLASS 93-065.
TRI-COUNTY TRAINING: LOCAL CORRECTIONS BASIC TRAINING.
HEBEGGAR'S: BRYANT/CARRIER FACTORY TRAINING.
THE BEST TRAINING I GOT WAS ON THE JOB. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS FROM THE LIST I USE TO THIS DAY, SO NOT EVERYTHING WAS A WASTE OF TIME.
MARITAL STATUS: SINGLE. IT WILL FOREVER REMAIN THAT WAY. SINCE I AM NOT RICH AND DON'T LOOK LIKE BRAD SHITT, I DON'T QUALIFY FOR A WOMAN. WALTER MONDALE HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF DEFEATING REAGAN THAN I HAVE OF GETTING A DATE. IF IT WERE UP TO ME, ALL PRETTYBOYS WOULD BE DRAFTED AND PUT ON LATRINE DETAIL IN IRAQ, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT GIRLS SNUB ME IN FAVOR OF.
WHY I RELOCATED: PLAIN AND SIMPLE. LACK OF WORK. IN WARREN, OHIO, GOOD PAYING JOBS DON'T EXIST. ONLY THE PRETTYBOY RELETIVES OF LONG TIME EMPLOYEES GET THE JOBS (I'M REFERRING TO THE REMAINING STEEL MILL AND GM). JOB DISCRIMINATION IS RAMPANT. I GOT LUCKY. MY PREVIOUS EMPLOYER HAD AN INSTALLER QUIT AT THE SAME TIME OUR FURNACE DIED. I GAVE THE SERVICE TECH A RESUME AND HAD A JOB IN LESS THAN A WEEK. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WARREN HAS MORE HVAC COMPANIES THAN IT CAN SUPPORT. AT THE TIME I LEFT, SEVEN OF THOSE SOLD LENNOX. CARRIER, BRYANT AND THE OTHERS ONLY HAD ONE DEALER. I JUST COULDN'T SURVIVE ON TWO INSTALLS A WEEK. THE POLITICIANS THINK THE STEEL MILLS ARE GOING TO COME BACK, THAT DELPHI (PACKARD ELECTRIC) IS GOING TO COME OUT OF BANKRUPTCY LIKE THEY WERE BEFORE AND THAT GM LORDSTOWN IS GOING TO STAY FOREVER. THEY HAVE MADE NO EFFORT TO ATTRACT NEW BUSINESS. THEY WONDER WHY SKILLED PEOPLE LIKE ME LEAVE. WARREN IS ON ITS WAY TO BEING A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY WITH McDONALD'S AND WAL*MART AS ITS MAJOR EMPLOYERS.
WITH THE HOUSING CRASH AND ITS EFFECTS, I LOST MY JOB IN JULY. NOT GETTING MUCH ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND NO JOB OFFERS, I HAD TO RELOCATE AGAIN. IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER HERE. I AM DOING SOME HVAC FREELANCING FOR NOW.
TELEVISION: I ACTUALLY WATCH VERY LITTLE OVER THE AIR. MOST OF TODAY'S PROGRAMMING IS CRAP. IF IT WEREN'T FOR DVD'S, MY SETS WOULD BE OFF ALL THE TIME. NEWS HAS TURNED TO FLUFF. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CRIMES KING GEORGE COMMITTED TODAY. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF BRAD SHITT HAD A CUP OF COFFEE. ONE OF THE FEW BRIGHT SPOTS IS THE PRICE IS RIGHT. I THINK DREW CAREY IS GREAT. I WATCH THE SAME DAY RERUNS ON THE INTRANOOT DUE TO LACK OF COMMERCIALS AND PROPER CREDITS (NOT THAT SQUEEZE SHIT). SINCE MOVING HOME, I WATCH MSNBC A LOT. I PARTICULARLY LIKE KEITH OLBERMAN AND RACHEL MADDOW.
MUSIC: I WILL LISTEN TO ALMOST ANYTHING FROM FRANK SINATRA TO FRANK ZAPPA. I HATE BARRY MANILOW, RAP AND THOSE BOY BANDS THAT HAVE NO TALENT. I PREFER THE OLDIES FORMAT. THERE WAS ONE TIME THAT MUSIC WAS GOOD AND THE MUSICIANS HAD TALENT. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. THANKS TO VINYL AND THE CD'S THAT WERE REISSUED, I CAN ENJOY GOOD MUSIC OVER A TUBE AMP (H.H. SCOTT).
PETS: THREE CATS. ONCE MY OWN COMPUTER IS BACK ONLINE, I WILL POST PICS.
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: IMPERSONATING WALTER CRONKITE IN ANNOUNCING CLASS.
