I am the son of Greek and French immigrants. The legal kind. I was born in Kentucky and grew up all over the country. Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, back to Kentucky, and Tennessee.
As I got older I went to Greece with my dad to visit family and see the land of my ancestors. I love Greece and hope to take my family there someday.
I was driven to study hard by my dad and thank him for that. I did not watch much TV as a child or listen to the radio. I was 13 when I got my first radio as a Christmas present from my French grandparents. As a result of my limited exposure to the brain washing box, I had 2 things occur.
First, I was somewhat naive growing up about the world around me. It was somewhat easy to pull something over on me. But the second thing is worth that. I was not conditioned to the mass media programming that is used to get the masses in line.
I met the love of my life while working at Burger King. We married after dating 5 days short of a year of dating, in the middle of my senior year of high school.
I graduated high school with honors and went into the United States Army one week after graduation, and just 6 months of marriage. I learned a lot and grew up immensely during those times.
After the Army I went to work in a production factory. While there I got my degree in Manufacturing engineering. After working there for 12 years they moved the facility to Mexico.
I worked for a major computer company for awhile then they reduced their work force and I ended up where I am now, making automotive products for the cooling systems of cars.
I have been married some 19 years now and have 2 beautiful daughters. They love being Greek and I am very proud of both of them.
I am loyal to my friends and never forget offenses against me. Some may call that petty, but like the saying goes, "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." I have only a few real freinds that I can speak of.
Thats me in a nut shell. As I begin to blog my warped and twisted views of this world we live in will begin to round out the picture of the one refered to as GREEKMEAT, a name given to me as a wrestling moniker by one of my friends.
