I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm 38 years old and I work at the college I attended when I was younger. I'm trying to finish my English degree and hopefully become a teacher. I worked in sales and retail for most of my life and hated it, but I was pretty good at it.I am married with four kids, 1 boy and three girls. I live in Calumet Shitty ( i mean City ) and desperately want to move. Overall, I am pretty happy but, a few things could be better. Not much different from a lot of people I would guess.FISHING W/ MY CHICAS

My Interests

I caught a tremendous fish and held him beside the boat half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of its mouth. He didn’t fight. He hadn’t fought at all. He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper, and its pattern of darker brown was like wallpaper: shapes like full-blown roses stained and lost through age. He was speckled with barnacles, fine rosettes of lime, and infested with tiny white sea-lice, and underneath two or three rags of green weed hung down. While his gills were breathing in the terrible oxygen — the frightening gills, fresh and crisp with blood, that can cut so badly — I thought of the coarse white flesh packed in like feathers, the big bones and the little bones, the dramatic reds and blacks of his shiny entrails, and the pink swim-bladder like a big peony. I looked into his eyes which were far larger than mine but shallower, and yellowed, the irises backed and packed with tarnished tinfoil seen through the lenses of old scratched isinglass. They shifted a little, but not to return my stare. — It was more like the tipping of an object toward the light. I admired his sullen face, the mechanism of his jaw, and then I saw that from his lower lip — if you could call it a lip — grim, wet, and weaponlike, hung five old pieces of fish-line, or four and a wire leader with the swivel still attached, with all their five big hooks grown firmly in his mouth. A green line, frayed at the end where he broke it, two heavier lines, and a fine black thread still crimped from the strain and snap when it broke and he got away. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow around the rusted engine to the bailer rusted orange, the sun-cracked thwarts, the oarlocks on their strings, the gunnels — until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow! And I let the fish go.********************************************************* ************************************************************ ********

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet fun people,people with kids, w/o kids. People with ideas and opinions should introduce themselves to me. If you love music, movies, or even if you don't, say hello and let's discuss our mutual likes or our dislikes. Let's have a drink, a cup of coffee and a smoke together. Let's go get a tattoo! Let's throw our lines out there and maybe catch a fish to make fantastic tales. Maybe our families could meet and our kids will grow into lifelong friends.

The Doors, Rolling Stones, Beatles, White Stripes, just about anything really. I'm not so much into rap or country, but ocasionally something catches my ear and I'll listen to it. Neil Young rocks.The BAnd. The Kings of Leon and the Strokes had a couple good albums. R.E.M. used to be real good, not so much now. I can still listen to Nirvana and Soundgarden, they haven't gone stale to me. Audioslave has a good thing going now too. I usually listen to 80's or 90's alternative on yahoo music. Elvis ( Presley and Costello )of course.em ..
