Welcome to my blog.

I'm pretty new to this whole blogging thing, so please bear with me.

I guess I should start with a little about me.

I'm "over the hill" (40) but still a kid at heart. I like going scooter riding with my son, I like taking my Jeep off road. I listen to music some would find offensive, yet I get chills listening to a good opera. I'm pretty much a mixed bag of tricks.

I'm a pretty technical kind of person. I like to see how things work. I was always getting into trouble with my parents because I seemed to always have something torn apart to look inside. Problem was, sometimes this involved things like the family TV! I ended up as an electronics technician in the US Navy doing what I was best at - tearing apart electronic items and putting them back together. Hopefully in full working order when I was done...

I have the artistic talent of a dead carrot. I can draw you almost blueprint quality images of an airplane or a car, but drawing something like a flower or an animal completely eludes me. When I played trumpet I could play an almost technically perfect rendition of almost any piece of music you set in front of me, but ask me to perform jazz and I was lost.

So there you have it, my life in a couple short paragraphs. LOL

Happy reading,
Darrin
