In April I will have been working at Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank for 10 years. There are days when it seems to go well and other days it’s like pulling teeth. It’s my goal to do good things to help save lives. It always depends on people willing to help out when I reach out to them to donate blood. The struggle can be real. Somedays I do enjoy it but it depends on my attitude and that counts for a lot I think.

Favorite Drinks Of Mine
I have a few favorites. I like Diet Dr. Pepper (it was my dad’s favorite soda) iced coffee, root beer, tea, and chocolate milk. My hydration solution is flavored water.
My Biography Title – “Dork Mode”
My biography title would be called “Dork Mode; The Life and Times of Tony Burgess” and it would be the most boring thing anyone would read. Really it would be dull.
A Dream Home
I have a comfortable house, and the mortgage payments are reasonable. I think I am OK there.
What I would most like to see is for others who need a safe place to live and to have their own roof over their heads. Homelessness and affordable housing is a problem everywhere. In the 21st century, no one should be without a proper dwelling. Housing should be something basic everyone should be able to have access to. To me, that would be a dream home or just dreaming of a home.
My Online Communications
I communicate through blogging, my preferred expression platform. Additionally, I use Facebook, Threads, and Instagram. Of course, I email when I need private person-to-person messaging.
If you want to connect with me on Facebook, Threads, And Instagram you can find me at tonyburgess1969 like you do here.
My Higher Education Adventure
I started my college journey at Chattanooga State Technical Community College in 1988. I flunked out. In 1990, I got a second chance at Hiwasseee College, where I graduated with an Associate in Arts Degree. From there, I went to Lincoln Memorial University for one semester. I discovered I wasn’t happy there and transferred to Middle Tennessee State University (a school I never thought I would find myself at) where I graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications and minors in Sociology and Political Science.
