      Well.. this is a long story....


      I am now officially in charge of "Mirage." It is a business I have been trying to get off the ground for several years. I am now chained with four computer techs that work as freelancers and on the weekends we use our gear as DJ/Kj In affiliation with Abracadabra Dj/KD service.
      Basically, these little DJ/KJs guys going out and get gigs. They "use" my computer/gear and I get a profit each show. I usually have about two or three shows booked on a weekend.
      I am pleased that this is finally taking off. I now comfortable to do this as my own business and make a good income month to month.

      I didn't goto school for four years to be someone's ***** in a factory. That life wasn't for me. I am happy to have finally figured out a solution to my computer degrees.

      The only thing I regret was I wanted to originally make money playing in a band. But with the rise of karaoke taking business away from bands. The price to hire a band became lower and lower, making it impossible to earn a living as a musician. That is why I went back to college and got into the computer thing full time and combined it with a music source.

          I'm a Finance Director for a division of the largest retailer of musical instruments in the world. I won't give out the name of the parent company but anyone who has played Guitar Hero has seen our company logo in the game (where you upgrade the guitars).

          I am not a musician but love music and appreciate the people I work with who are truly passionate about it. I have been a Certified Public Accountant for 16 years now but am better at managing people and working on analyzing data for strategic initiatives than actual bean counting.

          I also coach a U-12 Division 2 Girl's Soccer Team. I have played soccer from the time I was in Kindergarten all the way through college and it is very fulfilling to be able to pass my knowledge and enthusiasm onto this wonderful group of young ladies.

            I work for peanuts as a trained monkey in an environmental firm (as an administrative assistant). At least it gives me spare change to practice my crafts and pay for daycare. Trying to get back to school so I could become a nurse so I can earn a better income. I keep saying next semester...Oh yes...and at home I manage 3 spunky boys, ages 9, 6 and 3.

                  I reconcile National accounts for the largest health insurer in the country. I have my own book of business and work several days at home and then come into the office a couple of times each week for meetings or if clients are in town. My side hobbies are varied depending on when I don't have things going on with the family. They include my thirst for nostalgic artifacts and collectibles from my childhood as well as researching television and film favorites. Each year I devote three straight days to helping run Wonderfest (a convention in Louisville) which brings in alot of talent, present and past, from television and movies. I have a home, a loving wife and two great kids (a boy 15 and a girl 12) who support all of my crazy adventures. And then, of course, I have my extended family here!!! I thank God every day for my life.

                          You've never seen Boston Harbor have you. The tea would make it better. You can walk across the Harbor now it's so polluted.

                            I am a "Chemical Process Technician", or operator for short. I work for the world's largest chemical company, based out of Germany.

                            It is a great job, work 12-hr shift work rotating from days to nights. I work around some pretty deadly stuff, even one that could kill me in one breath. There was one person killed at my work about 12 years ago from this deadly gas, but it was a "freak accident" and now that cannot even happen because they fixed it. Like they say about a plane crash, I am in more danger driving to and from work than actually being there.

                            I know it is not p.c. to talk about how much you make for a living, but this job does pay loads of it!!!
