    • About Me

      Recovering Heroin Addict, moved to Oregon from Boston, MA to go to a halfway house, and stayed after I got out, but I grew up in boondocks, Illinois. I'm a nursing student, and when I get my degree I want to join the army nurse corps. I've lived on both coasts and everywhere in between, and you can't beat the Midwest.

      From Shaner Community Leader November 4

      Right on bro. Sometimes you gotta take the pressure off yourself a bit and just cruise. I mean, don't get caught cruising too long, but it's good to just work and whatnot for a while. I am looking at getting back into school next year, but you never know. Kind of sick of my job right now, but I will just keep on keeping on, as they say. Good to hear from you bro. God Bless
