Just when you think you're feeling down, people reach down and pick you up. Thanks to Cassandra, I have been tagged. I promised her I'd join in the fun and (although I'm late) this post is about keeping that promise. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy this peek into little ol' me.
Question 1 - Where were you 5 years ago?
Let's see. My wife and I were just getting over a rough patch. Though most of our years have been awesome, we've had our issues from time to time. I hadn't yet started going to school online; I was on a break. I was still at the same job I'm at now, doing network administration. I was not writing at all.
Question 2 - Where would you like to be in 5 years?
I hope to be working from home as a student mentor for my college. I will have obtained my Masters degree. My wife will be healthy. My oldest son will be in college or figuring out what direction he wants to go. I will have published something, even if it's just a short story. I hope to have a new, bigger motorcycle.
Question 3 - What is on your to-do list today?
Finish critiques of two of my classmates' short stories. Start writing article for Brighthub.com. Spend time with my wife. Put up posts on my blog.
Question 4 - What snacks do you enjoy?
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (white chocolate). Skittles. Beef Jerky, almost any flavor. Any kind of crackers. Frozen grapes. Chocolate-covered raisins.
Question 5 - What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?
Set up all my family members so they could truly enjoy life without concerns. Travel all over the United States, to every state possible. Start a foundation or non-profit where I could help the homeless get back on their feet, one person at a time if necessary. Buy my wife the red Corvette she has always wanted. Build my ultimate writing room, a cabin with a mountain view, where I can walk out every once in a while and see a deer in my front yard.
The lucky 5 I am going to pass this on to are some of my newer followers:
Matt Betts
Hilary Wagner
Tim Riley
Michelle Scott
Alex J. Cavanaugh
I hope you all have fun with this and put up a post too. And thanks Cassandra, for making me smile. You're one of the many cool people have really helped make me feel better about my writing and remember to stay optimistic about what I can do if I try.

I like what you're doing with your billion. I have to admit, I had never even considered what to do with that much money because I always assumed I'd never have it. Sounds like you're the kind of person who should.
Glad this made you smile.
Frozen Grapes?!
You know, having been the fat kid on the playground, avoiding getting tagged was impossible. How the tables have turned! :D
Thanks! Fortunately I was tagged with this one already, so I've done my duty. Some of our responses were quite similar, too.
Thanks for thinking of the new guys, I'll use this for my next post.
Ah! A glimpse into your life. I like your responses. And I absolutely love chocolate-covered raisins!
