My parents do not know I am gay. My dad would disown me if he found out I was gay. I am a welder.
I have a gay sister. My family vacations in Florida every winter. My sister never comes to the family vacation. I take my sister to karaoke on Thursdays.
 During our last conversation you reminded me of how long it has been since I have gone to karaoke. What is your favorite karaoke song? I love singing Joan Jett's song "I Love Rock and Roll". What is one of your favorites to sing? Oh that's a good one. I always like to sing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, but I'm not very good at it. I still think it's a lot of fun though. That's the fun part of Karaoke, Just letting go and having fun. You should come with us next time, I think that would be so fun. What do you think? That would be amazing! Thank you! Where do you all usually go to sing karaoke? The last time I did it, went to Southlands. It's a bar downtown that is located next to Pizza Hut.  I have been there before. We try to go to different venues. We love the variety! ..... So,,, Pizza and then singing this next Thursday, Should we do it? Definitely. I have to work at the shipyard until 6, but I should be able to meet you at Southlands at 7:30. Does that sound ok?  Yes, that sounds great! What kind of work keeps you busy at the shipyard? I love my job.  We are building a submarine for the navy. I had an office job for about 4 months and that was 4 months too long. I love working with my hands and building things. There's no place I'd rather be.  I was watching a channel on YouTube recently that was showing how they make submarines,,, I was in awe! I had no idea that it was so involved. I guess I never thought about it before. When my family vacations in Florida, they have submarine that I have been on at a museum..It was way cool! Yes, it was more complicated than I imagined too, but I enjoy my work. It's kind of an art form. My mom always has me welding things for her. I fixed her fence last week. I also welded her a small metal door stop just because she wanted it. She seems to like it.  Welding is far more practical than my standard way of securing things, duck tape and super glue are my go to's. LOL. Do you ever sell your welding creations?
