Welcome to my page. My name is Mike well that is what I go by long story tell you later. I love life on my second chance not going to mess this one up. I am looking for people that love life or at least know the direction that they are heading. I don't want to lose my next soul mate or best friend. Have fun people and enjoy life forever and forgive the ones that hurt you on the way. I come from a large family we all go to the cabin every summer and have allot of fun I think if you counted all of us in just the one branch of our family tree there would be like 30 to 40 of us (my grandma's and Grandpa's kid's and there kid's and there Kid's kid's) we do all the Holiday's together too. We are an open door family every one is part of the family if you know a Tambornino. I love them so much best family in the world... Ok this is my run down I am a building engineer of a Best western in White Bear Lake it is a fun job keeps me busy all the time. I am proud of my building it is like a kid to me. by that I mean it is a ton of responsibility. I keep 93 rooms a bar & grill, a large ballroom, all the outside lawn care and a 25,000 gallon salt water pool running great, looking good and in tip top shape so all the guest that stay in our hotel have a good time. Plus I do it all by my self well I get a little help from contractors and friends that we bring in from time to time too. I have taken the road of hard work, it has not paned out for me yet I try to learn as much as I can from every situation that I can. I have a saying in life it is: “Any one person is capable of achieving anything they so desire all you need to do it is have an open mind and determination” I learned how to fix and build computers on my own with no school all because I wanted one really bad and could not afford one at the time so I got two broken ones and made one work. By jumping in with both feet I found it was really easy and now I fix and build computers as a hobby and help my hole family and most of my friends with their computers I even make side money going to peoples houses and small business to fix there stuff too. I guess the moral of that story is to grab what you want with two hands and make it work and 9 times out of 10 you'll make it happen and learn a new thing at the same time. That thought applies to every thing in the world just because you don't know how to do something just means you have not really tried yet. I slaved away for 10 grueling years doing Hot Tar Roofing started in the dumpster and worked my way up to the guy that ran the crew when the boss was away it was a back breaking, dirty, hot, fun, great, job I made a ton of great money them years spent a lot on my love and fun trips have nothing to show for it but a few scars and a ton of great memories. After that I started my own Handy Man business driving all over the state building and fixing every thing I could and employed my good friends we all made good money and again I spent it on love and fun and again have nothing to show for it but a few more scars and a few more great memories. Now I am working as a chief engineer for Best Western in White Bear Lake, MN and am loving it I get to meet a ton of interesting people from all over the U.S.A. and we are the hotel that loves to party Friday and Saturday nights there is wedding receptions in the ballroom and the guest rock the house, people go nuts it leaves me with a lot of repair work the next day but it is fun and keeps me busy. Well what happened to my love, Me and Doreen(my ex) well what can I say had to let her go, She was unfaithful and I was not there for her all the time because I could not face some things from my childhood and self medicated with pot for to many years. I am sober now and a changed man and have taken action to deal with my past but for us in her words " It was to little to late " We where together for 11 wonderful years and I had put a ring on her finger we thought marriage would be so great but something happened along the way we grew apart she had been going to school to get a PHD in Psychology to be a marriage and family consoler or sex therapist and I was working my ass off so I could pay the bills and her student loans, put food on the table, buy the cars and keep gas in them and was waiting for her to get done so I could go to school for cinematography I did this with the thought it would be easer on both of us to have a ton of good money coming in. Well now she is done and she has changed so much from the woman I fell in love with. In the 11 years I worked me ass off I guess I was not progressing fast enough for her on the way and it is my fault. We decided that it would be best to split up and go our own ways. It is really hard to be someone’s lover for 11 years and then just stop... we were really good friends before we where lovers, I just want to see her happy and I want to find new happiness too. but for now we dont speak or see one anther probably for the best. Ok sorry for the novel with the sad ending but it is not over yet... This time around I plain on having more to show in life then great memories. I have been getting out and enjoying life it is really fun so many new people to talk to and dance with get out on the town and see a show with hit the ski slopes with and just love life with. I just hope I will find a nice woman sometime in the years to come to settle down with and have a family before I am 40. LOL
