so overall i am ok with what i know

i think over the years, (and there have been many) that i have picked up on several things.  some are nuanced and some are blatantly in my face.  i sometimes need that, as a man i don't always do, or get subtlety.  anyway i am new to blogging and just wanted to give a basic background into who i am and what i think i could bring to the blogasphere.
i am a jack of all trades, and truly a master of none.  but i like this, as i have taken up several jobs over the last 15 years or so and am still trying to figure out what suites me best.  i have worked mostly for utility companies on the phone as customer serve. sometimes bill collector, bill adjustor, wound healer, talker downer off ledge.  i have worked with children in before and after school programs.  one year for Kid Zone in Tempe, az.  and now currently with Boys and Girls Club in Scottsdale, az.  a wide range of ages from kindergarten to high school aged children.  i am with the teens now and that's fun.  i have taken a job working for pitney bows in north phoenix.  6 months there looking up mail redirecting lost mail and delivering to different locations for american express in the north valley.  i also worked 18 months in IRAQ for KBR as a mail clerk.  see how one thing leads to another?  that was so interesting and such a good ol boy system of running things over there, all military and former military folks pushing non military people around.  it was hard work and long hours but overall i got what i needed to get out of it.
i travelled. spent 2 weeks in Egypt taking tours and meeting people.  this was in 08 so a while before the more recent unrest in that country.  glad i got to see it when i did.  i spent some time catching up with friends in both Brighton England... and my buddy Sam and his lovely Jen in Belgium.  many trips to Dubai as that's where we as a company flew in and out of during travels to Baghdad.  i also spent 2 weeks split between Thailand and Cambodia .... awesome! and might have been my favourite foreign travel destination.
overall i wanna be able to share thoughts on a number of topics.  if i can manage to come up with my own thoughts that is.  and who knows a few quotes and some links to other more interesting things than me.  new to this blog idea. i am tweeting and you can follow me @shannon3k i am also on facebook i will be sure to check in here and share things i'm doing for those who might be interested.

till then
