My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/09/2007
Band Members: To start off with, I have two great children..an 18 year old daughter and a 14 year old son... happily married to a very wonderful women...I play guitar in a La Grande based cover band called, Ashes 2 Ashes... I am a lead at Barreto Mfg., a steel fab shop...we do all things metel... I oversee the building of our trenchers, which we sell world wide...very sweet job...also as a part time job, I help out a company called OnTrac, which builds track systems for machines like snow cats and highway equipment...lots of welding... and as if that wasn't enough, I own a small trailer park in Imbler, OR....yep a trailer park..lol..only 5 trailers though... I thought about my future and real estate is always a good investment so, I make a little money of my rentals..... and I play guitar.. music is a passion that I have... a very expensive hobby my wife says, but she supports me..in most of my life I try to be laid back and avoid as much of the dramas that everyone seems to bring in their lives.. now dont get me wrong, I love to help people, usually a great listener and try to be understanding of someone else's point of view...just seems to be a few in this world, who love self inflicted misery..life is a challenge, everyday...ask for help when you need it and accept the help when you need it..dont think you are alone, but dont try to make everyone around you miserable...share your pain in order to heal..dont try to create pain for selfish reasons.... enough for the philosophy end of things... I love people though, you can learn so much from everyone around you... my parents are the smartest people I know.. I should have paid more attention to them when I was young and knew everything..lol..my family inspires me to become a better person... my friends are the best anyone could ask for...and have gotten to know more through myspace, and cherish their friendship as well...thanks for reading.. Jack
