Hi! I'm glad you decided to get to know me better! Well, as much as I try to keep this page different from others, this single individual page, shall remain to the conformity.
Name: Jason
DOB: April 12, 1977
POB: Houston, Texas
Height: 6'0"
Weight: Nunya biz
Personality: By textbook, I'm an introvert, although I'd like to think otherwise. I like to have fun, build models, watch and make movies, just all around have fun. On the other hand, I don't like deceivers and 'frumps'. Lemme explain that. A 'frump' is someone who is happy and set in a rut in life and refused to have fun because it'll interfere with their 'schedule'.
I was born in Houston, TX and grew up in a small town to the North West called Tomball. I attended Tomball Lutheran School until 7th grade. As soon as I was eligible (5th grade) I began playing basketball. I lettered twice (5th and 6th grade), I became ineligible in 7th grade because I was letting my grades slip.
The summer of 7th grade my mom and I moved up to a small town by the name of Hughes Springs in the North East corner between Texarkana and Longview. I attended 8th grade where I played both basketball and football. Our football team kicked ass!! We stormed the district! We went completely undefeated, and tied once, which was a scrimmage so it doesn't really count...LOL...Unfortunately, since it was only 8th grade, district was as far as we could go.
I then went on to high school and continued basketball for 2 years. Grew bored playing football and only took part in off-season training. During my Sophomore summer I began to complain that I was so bored with baling hay. So, mom sent me to summer school. I went, took 4 classes, passed them all. Classes I had never taken before, and got no less than a 'B'. Then dean over my group saw this and said that I should be a Senior. He signed a few papers and I simply skipped my Junior year. I extremely suggest you don't skip grades or let your children skip a grade. There is SO much I missed out on that I wish I had've just kept my mouth shut that summer.
After graduating high school, I attended East Texas Baptist University. I went for a year to get my basics and joined the theatre group. Since I had much experience in high school, I decided I'd try to run lights for a play. They liked my work and asked me to stick around and do a few more...I also joined an acting group called 'Image' which travelled over the Ark-La-Tex performing in churches. It was a private Baptist college, so it was strict, but gives a very good education!
That summer I got a job working at a feed store in town. I worked my butt off 6 days a week 11 hours a day. I managed to save up about $3000 which I hoped would make a good start on wherever I go to college next. Turned out that in January, '96 I attended the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver. Another wise investment, but that $3000 didn't go far at all. CIA is such a specialized school and hence is very expensive. There I studied Video Production and just a tad of computer animation. I decided the animation wouldn't help me and focused on VP. Not long after moving to Denver I decided I needed some money and got a job at D&L Entertainment Services where I was concert security. Not really 'security', that's what the cops were there for, but you get the idea. Well, I began working more and more, and, well, my grades dropped. Mom came up, pulled me out and dragged me home.
After laying back a while I got a job working for a furniture company that travels the country to craft shows. I travelled to or through every state East of Colorado except Florida. I may be one off, but Florida is the one I recall. We travelled so much that when I left in October '97 we had put a little over 40,000 miles. That's a lot of miles for about 9 months!!!. Well, my boss quit and subsequently, my job fizzled with it.
While travelling with the furniture, I met a girl at the shows and we began going out. Her parents, who were also crafters, heard that I lost my job and asked that I work for them because they liked how I did things. I moved up here to Mayville, Michigan where I currently work for Wiley Products. They have taken me into their home (when I'm here and not on the road) and given me a job, something of which I am eternally grateful. Their daughter and I dated, became quite serious with things, but decided that since I am leaving in December to go back to TX, it is best that we broke up. Connie and I still travel and do shows together, and no matter what happens,I will always keep her in my heart.
Well, it's now April fool's day, '99. I figured it's past time to update a little. News it that Connie and I have been back together since mid February. She is the most wonderful girlfriend, and she's mine...ALL mine!!! HAHahahaha...Sorry, a little conceited laugh slipped out.
It's 12:30 AM, Nov 12th. Felt I should give a little update on what's goin' on with me. I now work at a major telecommunications company, so I don't have much time to spend online. Connie broke up with me about 2 months ago and I took it REALLY hard. Still getting over it, but I've realized that if she really felt the way she told me, then she can rely on never seeing or hearing from me again.
An old college buddy of mine came to me and asked for my help, so now I have a little side project which, if all goes well, will be quite well-known in about 3 or 4 years. Just remember the name ANIMAL, for that is the part I will have. Good night for now.
Checking the clock, it's 8:12pm July 14, 2007. So much, so many things have happened these past few years. I've lost my mother and both grandparents fairly close together. So I've had a hard time dealing with that. Mother went in '01 and g-parents went in '04, honestly I don't think I've grieved yet. Always tried to occupy my mind and not think about things. I've owned 2 businesses, but due to fuel costs, I couldn't afford to continue. Met a girl online and have had a good time, things went pretty well. Up until last night she told me she loved me and even wanted to get married. But after all we've been through and shared and trusted in eachother, she said she doesn't want me anymore. So I guess it's official ~again~...I'm now single. Apparently she's found another. I just hope she realizes what she threw away. I've changed my life, took on a new career, and done everything for her, and this is what I get.
On the other hand, I can now say I'm making pretty decent money. Since the bitch decided to do this to me, I feel I deserve that Harley I've put off for so long. It's time to think about me.
Well, being a truck driver now...Who knows, I just might see you down the road sometime. Good night, and good days to come to you.
