November 1985. - I was born. Joy of all joys!
Spent alot of my youth moving house and schools due to my dads job at ICI. Found it really hard to make friends as I was clocking on to the fact I'd lose them sooner or later.
Early 1994 - Parents split up, I never really understood what was going on. Mum found it harder to deal with so moved me and my sister away to Blackpool. My big brother stayed with my dad in Lincolnshire.
Few months on in 1994 - Mum got depressed and put into hospital.
November 1994 - in turn after months of not knowing his arse from his elbow my Dad decided there was only one thing he could do to sort out his problems and that was to end them. I think he considered the entire situation of depression, split up of the family as his fault. I guess he wanted the easy way out. I resent him for that but who am I to judge the man who brought me into the world?
I was staying with grandparents at the time and remembered the phone call my Grandad took that night. I was laid in my bunk bed. I overheard his conversation and cried myself to sleep not knowing what to do. Grandma woke us up the next morning and she didn't even need to say a word to me.
December 1994 - Brother moved back to Blackpool, tried in vain to play happy families, nothing fitted right after losing my Dad.
Post 96 - Brother got involved in drink and drugs, from being awesome at rugby, clever and alot going for him he slowly faded away into nothing after assaulting me at every oppurtunity. Lost contact with my brother.
1997 - Started high school, wish I hadn't. Struggled to make friends, hid away for 5 years and finally left in 2002.
2002 - Went to college, decided to quit to help pay some bills for my mum and became Ops Supervisor at Hilton Blackpool aged 17. I was chuffed to bits with myself.
2006 - Got a job for Computer Sciences working in IT Support for BAE Systems.
2007 - Fed up of working for a big company and listening to people who worked for BAE Systems bitch at me all day long I left to work with a friend of mine for a few months. Along with my aspiration to work for myself.
2008 - At 22 and after 8 years of doing what I loved on a small scale I finally took the step and became a self employed web design, web developer, SEO specialist etc.
August 2008 - Took on another role with an outsourcing company as UK POC. Operations in US, India and now UK & Europe being my responsibility.
Currently plodding along in life trying my best to be pro active at every oppurtunity and I'm ever a fan of networking in order to see my business succeed. Still don't know what became of my brother.
My ambition, settle down, get a nice small house, buy an M5, have a couple of kids and just work my ass off to give my kids what I felt I missed out on... Stability.
That is all, I'm going to go listen to Evanesence now!
