Ken Villines 1.0

I turned 35 today and said to myself “How did I get here?”. That question alone spawned many other questions and then memories of where I have been. I don’t think I am the ordinary 35 year old. Or at least I wasn’t the ordinary kid growing up in small town U.S.A. I have lived in 12 states and move 22 times in my life.

States Ken Villines has lived (in order):

• Oklahoma
• New Jersey
• Indiana (2 moves)*
• Virginia
• West Virginia
• Tennesee (2 moves)*
• Missouri
• Georgia
• Alabama
• Arkansas (3 moves)*
• Missouri (2 moves)*
• Connecticut (3 moves)*
• Massachusetts(3 moves)*
•  
• * this total includes the original move to the state

While growing up my social skills had to adapt to fitting in very quickly. Children can be cruel especially to outsiders. I gained skills other people didn’t have and knew how to get people to like me. If I had a list of the people I have touched in my life it would probably fill a room. This is going to be the first entry in the Chronology of Ken Villines. I really need to find trace where I have been and where this life has taken me. Keep checking back if you are interested.

Surround yourself with those who will have a positive impact on your life. People that are dishonest as a way of getting what they want aren’t in that group.
