Okay, here's the boring stuff.
About 34 years ago my folks were out and about and decided to stop off in lovely Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to have a baby. Mr. and Mrs. Villemaire called this pink thing with the blonde hair "Larry" and then went home to Montreal.
My parents decided that three was a crowd and I lived with my mom (seeing my dad every couple of weeks) in la belle province. We moved around a little bit - La Salle, Dorval, Deux Montagnes - until I was around 10, when I moved to Ontario to live with my grandparents for a year while my mother and stepfather looked for a house here. Sometime in there my hair turned red to match my green eyes and fair skin.
We eventually ended up in the Lorne Park area of Mississauga where I guess I did most of my "growing up" - and I use that term loosely. I attended to high school at, where else, Lorne Park Secondary School and majored in being a slacker. This of course left me prepared for a career as a...
Travel Consultant. I decided to get my feet wet in the world of the wage earners right out of high school and can say that it truly wasn't bad. I actually managed to even travel during the whole affair, arriving at such ports of call as Madrid, London (England), London (Ontario - what funny accents they have there), several cities in California, Mexico, and both coasts of the Great White North. And towards the end of all that, I joined the ranks of the wedded many.
This was quickly followed by a partnership in the video industry. Yawn.
After exhausting the whole self-employment thing (it's highly overrated), I decided it was time to return to the land of the scholarly and went to Seneca College to study the deep and meaningful world of Civil Engineering. This landed me in a job in, of course, a not-so-completely different field. Automotive manufacturing. Right concept, wrong side of the tires - instead of building roads I was building parts for cars. Oh yeah, in there somewhere I joined the even greater ranks of those whose marriages have fallen. No regrets though.
And that's where I am now. I work for a division of Magna called Cosma Body & Chassis as a Quality Engineer. My particular company manufactures engine cradles and radiator supports using hydroforming technology (basically forming steel using water - duh).
In 1998, my wife (current, not ex) and I bought our first home together. Neither of us are fans of new houses so we ended up finding a lovely old century home in a small town north of Toronto. She had a small list of things she had to have in a house - I had one item...it HAD to have a garage.
That's my life in a nutshell and if you managed to read through all this...I assume your cable's out.
