		<description>it sounds like your little bulb just flickered. Sometimes life takes you down wierd and twisty roads, you meet people that influence you one direction or anther, for good or for bad. These influences create who we are, how we react in the world and to others, what we drive ourselves to become. but in the end we tend to loose our personalities because it&#039;s not what others want us to be.

i for one always wanted to head off to a tech college, IIT, MIT, have always been dreams out of reach. i accepted the facts and headed off to the Airforce, leaving behind the ones i loved, seeing the world and 
loosing site ( i thought ) of who i was. in reality i was just this lost punk kid that new everything. Being barked atto do this, do that, you need to be here, you need to be there, it all turned into a big gray mess that i had enough of.
 about that time, i had &quot; friends&quot; that talked me into submitting an application into where i work now. i was hired more or less on the spot. yipppe!!! im moving again. i left behind friends that had become new family to me, to start over and make things right.
the new compqany placed me into a postion i aboslutely hated, 10 bucks an hour wasnt worth the crap i was putting up with and was really read to head home, and the light flickered for me.
i showed them what my strong points were, what i was capable of. i moved to a different crew, i worked my ass off to improve my life, bought a house, started dating again, started moving up the corporate chain. went through 3 different owners of the company, my position was eliminated ( lay off), quit dating, withdrew from society, became very bitter towards others. in other words i lost myself again, i wasnt me, and i sure as hell wasnt happy again. then the light flickered again.....
i have found myself, i know what i am, i know what makes me tick. i found someone that i treasure, that i dont want to loose. that tends to drive me to be the better person, that is upset because im not there, that understands that if i work harder, things will be better for us. yep im getting married, and i really gives me a new outlook, work doesnt bother me anymore i could care less, the little groups that i dont fit into i could care less about, i know im very good at what i do, i know i will give my best assets to the customers, i know im giving up myself for a better reasons.

they say there is no I in team. well i disagree because the I is me. i will be there for the team, i will be there for family, I WILL BE ME.

the flicker of light is LIFE, you have found it, seen it happen, now take it and make it yours. the LSAT tests..meaning less, you know it, take it, it&#039;s yours for the taking Cory. it makes me more then proud to see this happening to you, dont loose the drive. age is&#039;nt everything any more, you have a head start on the &quot; punk kids&quot;, keep it and show them to think outside the box they precieve.

Big Bro

btw: i might need legal advice.... thinks theres a speeding ticket floating out there somewhere i didnt pay ;)</description>
