My name is Adm Chrysler, I am 30 years old, from a small town in upstate New York, and spend way too much time on my blog.
Currently I am living in the San Francisco Bay Area, more in the east bay near Concord, CA. I am a full time student at Diablo Valley College, and intend on transferring to UC Berkeley to get my degree in Computer Science. After that I hope to get a job somewhere in the San Jose area.
What better for a geek to live in Silicon Valley?
Then maybe try and get my Master’s gradually while working. Still pondering this thought but nothing concrete as it hard to say where I will be working afterwards.
I have a beautiful little girl. I try to spend as much time with her, but lately school had made this difficult.
I am also sort-of married to a Korean girl that I met, while in Korea. I say sort-of because that is where my story starts to get interesting….,
I am getting a divorced, so that me and my wife can go back to dating like we did before we were married. I found out this is what my wife wanted by a knock on the door from the postman to delivery a certified letter, in New York. I said “hell no” drove to California with almost no money, fixed my relationship and realized what my wife wants, “a fresh start”. I had about $1,000 saved and made the trip in July of 2008, when gas prices were at a record high. I think I paid as much as $4.25 a gallon along the way.
To earn brownie points once I arrived in California I packed the car with stuff she wanted, and was forced to sleep in a ball on the driver’s seat, which didn’t recline due to the excess amount of crap in the car. This made me appreciate my car a lot more since for the next three months I was forced to live in my car. I started college, homeless living out of my car.
I met a friend who heard my story, and offered me a place to stay. He is retired, single, and gay. I was skeptical at first, but after a search for any convenient placed axe’s and chainsaws I accepted the offer.
That’s one story….,
I was in the Army and after making headlines on CNN and the Boston Globe, over a website I created my term ended shortly after. While it wasn’t a dishonorable discharge what they did was illegal in my sense. Separated me from my wife and daughter, took away my civilian clothes, took away my wife’s ID denying her access on post including the hospital (which she fortunately didn’t need), took away my driving privileges, and fined me over $2,000 in fines after they demoted me 4 pay grades. My last paycheck was a bill for $67. I owe the United States Army $67 for devoting over 4 years of my service.
I could list 100’s of stories. That is just how my life goes. But why read about them here? That is what the blog is for!
My life is an everyday struggle, but I am healthy and fine. I have grown so accustomed to stress and other factors for a heart attack that I now seem to welcome them. I live on the concept, “one bad day, is usually one good story“. If I wanted a boring life, I would read about someone else’s in a book. I want a life that’s worth writing about!
