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.
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.
I am going to say two men. My father and grandfather were great people who influenced me to be who I am. Without them, I can say I wouldn’t be the geek/nerd that I am. They taught me to be a sensitive, caring, and loving man in my own way. I can say I will miss them this holiday season as they are no longer with me. They are still with me in my heart and soul.
My hope is that people say kind things about me if I have earned it. I would hope people would say that I am a good person although I am very human and I do make mistakes.
This is a good question and I would hope that what I would ask for wouldn’t impact anyone negatively. My first wish is enough money for me and my family to live where life would be comfortable. I don’t need to be filthy rich. The second wish would be to help make life easier for those who are in need. The final wish would be for organizations I care about to have what they need to carry out their missions. As long as I can take care of myself and mine then I will hope to be sure others are taken care of.
When I take a day off I cannot just lay about all day. I need to do some things so that I can say I got some stuff accomplished around the house. I don’t bring work home with me ever. We have a dog and he needs to go out to do his business so being lazy isn’t an option. I guess I just need to learn to relax other than that.
