Who are you??

[Stoked]

Wow, that's horrible. I hope your circumstances change at some point and you have a chance to get to know your daughter.


There used to be two couples in my current ward like that, or actually it was two brothers married to two sisters. Compounding the situation, the two brothers were identical twins.

When I found out my wife and I talked long and hard about it. We debated or months on what to do. I want to know her. She's mine. But the more we looked the more we realized that her mother provided her with a good life. Mom is married, has an older and younger child, and this little girl (would be 10-11 now) has only ever known this man as her father and those two siblings as her siblings. She has never known a life without them. She look healthy and happy. Who am I to ruin that? I can't, in good conscience, ruin her family life when it is a good one.

If she ever looks me up I am more than willing to explore a relationship. But she has a good life and I don't want to take that from her. It would be different if she had a bad life, no father, lonely, mistreated...but she isn't. And All it took was one look at her to know, in my soul, that she was mine. She looks EXACTLY like my other daughters with simply a darker shade of skin and hair since her mom is a latina.

I'm guessing your life experience is what makes you the rad dude you are today. Seriously, you have this sense of equanimity to you and I think that's why I consider you one of the chillest dudes on the board. Def beer sharing worthy.

What was the impetus for leaving home at that age? And the bouncing around? I appreciate the trying everything once. Have you tried a strong massage on the perineum during fellatio? You'll be hooked. I tell ya.

Lol, what a way to end a post!

I left home at 18 to head down to cedar city to go to school...
Not 100% sure why I moved so much or why I had so many roommates. I guess I just didn't really have any possessions or anything to tie me to a house/apartment so it was easy for me to move.
I also liked being in a new clean place in new areas. It was somewhat exciting I guess. Often I moved because a friend needed a roommate, or I broke up with a girl I was living with. Sometimes I got kicked out of places for damages. Hell, sometimes me and the person/persons I was living with turned the place into such a ****hole that I would move simply to be in a clean place.
I lost allot of money from deposits that I never recouped. Sometimes I would tell my sister that she could have my deposit if she was willing to go clean the place up. She did a few times, poor thing.
I think I'm the way I am partly due to laziness lol. It's much easier to just be nice to people and like people and get along with them than it is to be a dick to people and have hate for people.
It exhausts me to argue and be angry. So it makes my life easier to just be chill to people.

I still do have a bit of an anger issue at times but it's pretty minor these days thank god.


Come to the bowling alley for the mini meet up on Friday! ( I know you can't due to distance)

I was born 55 years ago on an Air Force Base in England. My life's been significantly less interesting since then.

I'm a recent Jazzfanz returnee, and it hasn't changed much in the past few years.

***

I guess I can do a little better than that.

Raised in Ogden, lived most of my adult life in Salt Lake, now back to Ogden area. Went to Weber State and Utah State but didn't finish my bachelor's degree. Worked for 25 years as a legal secretary, and now I work in accounting for the State of Utah. I've been a Jazz fan since 1983, about the time my love of sports kicked in, and I have fond memories of Jazz games in the Salt Palace. Due to health issues, my life is rather simple at present, but I make sure to fill it with friends, family, books, sports, and whatever cultural events I can manage.

I've become much less religious and much more liberal in the past few years (likely a surprise to those who knew me back in the day). Jazzfanz played a part of changing my thought processes as I was exposed to a wider variety of people and opinion than I had previously been. So thanks for that - it was long overdue.

How many kids do you have? Also, what do you do for a living?

LDS mission to Germany from 1989-1991, still very active in the church. Married, 2 kids. Physics professor. Jazz fan since 1991.

I'm guessing you have issues with your height? Colton, I had no idea you were a physics professor. No idea. You also have one year on me in regards to our Jazz fanship. Go Jazz!

Considering this post is two years old, I assume you graduated or are close to graduating? If you did graduate, did you get a job in that respective field?

I have 5 kids, 4 daughters and a son (surprise!). The oldest two kids are not mine or my wife's biologically. I work for the gov.

LOL, maybe. Actually not really. As a scientist I have issues with accuracy & precision. I really am nearly exactly 5'8.5". I'm taller than people that are 5'8" and shorter than people who are 5'9". So when I give my own height sometimes I say 5'8", sometimes 5'9", but really 5'8.5" is the most accurate number.

I'm exactly 5'8.5" as well. (High five) I do the same things.

You're welcome, Jazzgal. Thank you.

Interesting stories. I'm 44 from Australia, my names John & i haven't had a drink for 6 mon... hang on wrong meeting. Anyhoo a wife, 2 daughters and NBA league pass and that's all you need to live a happy life. I have two jobs, 75 % of my time i'm a Doctor of Optometry and the other 25% i'm a group fitness instructor. Big Jazz fan going back to the late 80's not really sure how that started, and have a thing for American history and the land itself. Not too much else to tell

Great answer, dude. So it's more about how you think about things than anything else...
