Newly unearthed micro-autobiography from 10 or more years ago

[Self-Editor's Note: The headings are not mine, but from a template on a website having something to do with connecting high school classmates. I have no memory of creating a profile on this site and can't imagine what would have motivated me to be there. I found it tonight because I am trying to remember the name of a friend I actually liked, a fellow oddball outcast, and maybe even find out how and what he is doing. Maybe this is the same motive that had brought me to the site some 10 or so years ago.]

Life:

Born "James Milton Wood", legally "Michael Anthony Kepler" since 1983. Since around 1997, many have come to know me only as "Mookie". If asked for my name when ordering a blended fruit beverage or other such thing, I usually say "Elmer". There you go, full disclosure of my personal nomenclature.

Not much else to say. I "have" a wife, three kids, two cats and two dogs, and they are all much more honorable and interesting creatures than I am.

I was a mildly interesting person from about 1979 through 1984, but very few people noticed.

Since then I have been mostly boring, except for a period of being a conspicuous embarrassment to my family and all else that is decent from about 1999 through 2003. I may have even managed to become moderately notorious in a few specific bars. I have since spared my family, myself, and those bars from much further embarrassment. I don't really have to keep being boring just because I have almost 3000 characters remaining in my limit for this profile, but I will.

School:

Classrooms and I don't mix well. Usually, regardless of current age, I become an annoying prepubescent class clown. Everything I know I learned from TV, encyclopedias, and trial-and-error. Recently, I have come to realize that there are two subjects which I find interesting enough to sit down and shut up and pay attention: music theory, and history. At least I think so. I haven't actually put this to any practical test.

College:

Since I never went to college, per-se, I childishly scorn college and "college boys".

Workplace:

Jeez. For the whole sad story dig around and find my resume somewhere at tygerstudios.com [Defunct] or kepler.net [in a slow process or resurrection].

Military: I have neither the courage nor the self-discipline for military service. I suppose the military could have turned me into a man if they got their hands on me when I was younger. Now it is far too late for that.
