About Me

I am an outsider in this town in Western Maryland,even though I have lived here for 8 years. Anyone who has not lived here most of there life will always be an outsider it seems. I have a lots of good friends here. Even after getting used to not having the amenities of the living in the city one can adjust. I sure miss eating and drinking at"On The Border". I used to live in Kansas City,MO before I came to Cumberland to work for the railroad. Iam not sure why would a person move a 1000 miles for a job in a town where I don't know anyone. I guess it would be to have fresh start. It is not the most glamorous job but I love running trains on the rails. It is not really just a job. It is a lifestyle because trains run 24/7, there is no shift schedule. Whenever the phone rings it is time to go to work. Being the new kid on the block presents it challenges. Just like any challenge I have faced before. I am ready to take on and conquer it and move on to the next one. I like hard rock music and like hip-hop. I am flexible when it comes to listening to about any type of music but, my preference is Hard Rock. Hip-hop is for when I am in the right mood. I have heard most rappers today but, 2pac is still my favorite rapper. I know he is dead but I still think he is the best. There too many things that I like to name on my" to do" list. I like riding horses on my dad's ranch in Colorado,going to a museum and appreciating post-impressionistic artist paintings,drinking margaritas on the beach in Costa Rica. I used to love the big crowds when I worked as a bouncer in KC but now I perfer having drink with friends or meeting new friends in a dive bar where it is a laid back atmosphere.

My Interests

Being the new kid on the block

Isn't it funny how after living here for 8 years and having many friends a person can still be considered an outsider.  I guess living in Cumberland is one those places unless you have lived here...
