Other info (i.e. My Life Story):
Well, I'm a pretty normal guy
who grew up in the '80s. I experienced first hand "Life in a Northern Town,"
and it was pretty boring. Crivitz isn't exactly a hotbed for fun, if you
get my drift. The one thing I did enjoy was watching the NBC Game of the
Week every Saturday morning and listening to WIXX (101.1 on your Green
Bay radio dial) for all the greatest music. That's how my love for the
sports and music of the '80s began. After I graduated high school in 1992,
I joined the Navy. If you haven't been in the military, you might not understand
this, but then again maybe you might. Life kind of freezes when you join
the military, at least if you don't really like it, and you cope with things
by reminiscing about the past. So I listened to LOTS of music, played LOTS
of "classic" video games, and just generally pretended I was enjoying the
'80s the way I never got to when I was growing up, because now I had MONEY
(at least more than I was used to)! So I bought tons of music CDs and watched
a lot of '80s movies, and just generally grew up again, only it was regression,
but oh well.
Fortunately, I have been out
of the Navy since 1996, and I've changed a LOT in those 3 and 1/2 years,
mostly for the better. But oddly enough, I still love the '80s. I have about 350 compact disc's, mostly '80s music. And I bought a Sony Playstation just so I could play all the classic video games that I grew up with.
My next purchase will probably
be a full size pinball game. I love pinball! I always have, and I always
will.
Anyway, that's all there really
is to know about me, without knowing me. If you thirst for more, send me
an e-mail and I'll answer your question. I'm not shy, just don't want TOO
MANY weirdos getting all kinds of information about me without my permission.
Anyway, thanks for stopping
by, and for taking a few seconds to read about me. Whoo-hoo! Exciting,
exciting!
