a little about my self

I was born in the city of Lansing, MI at Sparrow Hospital, the year was August of 1980. I then continued on a path towards world domination, womanization and humility paired with a lust for swedish fish and orange bikinis.

Nahhh...the first part is true and the part about orange bikinis.

My Dad graduated from Michigan State University with his degree in Veterinarian Medicine.

My brother Joseph was born 4 years later in August of 1984. This was also the year that my father graduated from Vet School.

In 1985, he then moved our family to the small town of Atlanta Michigan, where my dad bought into his own vet practice and my brother and I attended School. I had two very good friends, Chris and Donald (more to come on these guys) in Atlanta. Chris was Donald's Cousin and we all lived near each other, which made games between us fun;

Basketball: Chris & Donald vs. Garth
Baseball: Chris & Donald vs. Garth
Building Forts to read Chris's Dad's cleverly hidden Playboys from 1970: Awesome!!!

It wasn't all bad.

In 1996 my parents seperated.
I didn't really know how to deal with this event?!?
The kids are always the last ones to know. This makes for a very interesting growing experience seeing as the town is extremly small.

In 1998 I graduated (made much more exciting by having seperated parents, they didn't get divorced for about 5 years) 6th (out of 30) in my class and was accepted into Michigan State University and never looked back. I came home the first summer to work but every summer after that I found reason after reason not to leave East Lansing.

There I met quite a few individuals who had an affect on my life. This blog is the story of the incidents and activities that led to present day and beyond.

I hope you enjoy, at my expense and others, the pictures and stories that will soon follow.

In the words of "black" Greg..."Man, a 20 piece chicken nugget would be the shit right now."
