(((SHAWNSTER)))

My lil' daughter, Dionne, playing her uke at home after school!-----------August 17, 2007!The greatest Dream Team ever, 92 USA DREAM TEAM!!!
Born on Guam, and grew up in America and Japan, until I was 13, then moved back to Guam. Lived in the following places/ 29 Palms, California/ Fatema, Okinawa/ Cherry Point, North Carolina, St. Louis, Missouri/ back on Guam!-------------------------------Grew up, at the age of 10, without my father, and lived with my mother, because of their divorce. This taught me to grow up strong, since I am the oldest of three. No sisters, all brothers, so yeah, I can cook, which I love to do.-------------------------------------------------I love shrimp tempura, butter garlic shrimp, oatmeal in the morning, fresh spinach and grilled chicken breast salad, sushi, lobster, crab, juicy steaks, tuna on wheat bread, Greentime water, lasagna....--------------------------------------Hate being sick, losing in basketball to people we should have beaten, hearing Poker trash talkers talk right before I eliminate them, yada yada, yada...-----------------------------------------Love playing basketball, billiards, baseball, poker, intelligent, witty conversations, and football. I think quick on my feet.------------------------------------------------------- ---------------Just realizing now, that I've become content and lost some of the hunger. Now, getting back the focus. I'm an extremely determined man, because I didn't grow up in the best of environments, although my mom did the best she could, as a single parent.----------- I love challenges and super determined, once I put my mind to something. They say that, "Champions are ex-losers that just got mad!" So true. I'm super competitive but understand the value of good sportsmanship. I don't dwell on my failures too long, but instead, learn from them. I believe you learn more in failure, than in winning. I look at the bright side of life, all the while keeping steadfast on the horizon. Always on the lookout for change and ready to embrace it. I easily let go of grudges and quick to forgive, because I know I won't be forgiven by the Lord, unless we forgive others first.------------------------------------------------------ --------Constantly a dry sponge, ready to learn from anyone, anywhere, anytime. Life is about perspectives, and trying to see all sides.----------------------------------------------------Lo ve my daughter Dionne, and my son, Shawn always, everyday of my life!-------------------------------------------------That's all folks!------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
