If there is anyone who ever did so little with so much, you'd probably be talking to him right now. Little did I know that by just being myself I could attain new heights of mediocrity. As it stands, this MySpace profile is just about pushing me to the edge: If it gets another update in the next five years, it will be too soon.
Born right in the middle of a cultural revolution in 1968, I was too late to be a hippie and too early to be a yuppie. Not content with being just another slacker, but never ambitious enough to take a stab at starting-up a multi-billion dollar business, I happily graduated high school just under the honors GPA level, but with a 29 ACT, which I took before the era of prep-schools and exam-cram cheatsheet booklets. I immediately tood advantage of college and successfully completed 3 years of study in 4 1/2 years, wasting tons of money while discovering myself.
Upon receiving a sharp dose of reality in 1991 with the advent of the Gulf War and my eventual droppout of college, I turned to a brief and almost eventual career in the fastfood business, only to find my hard earned money being sucked away by my new found passion for gambling. Going nowhere faster than I was used to doing, I made an executive and life changing decision in 1995 by embarking on the one career that no-one (repeat no-one) in their right mind would have thought I would have done: Join the U.S. Navy.
Since then, I've traveled most of the Pacific Ocean, had a son (yet another life altering occurance) and pretty much straightened up, although most people would probably disagree. It's been a long strange trip, and it's getting even stranger all the time.
