Mark Germanos
I am a dishwasher at Lawry’s. I like working there, downtown. I like Hobart dishwashers.
I like my life. I like to paint. I like painting on canvas. I like to use oil colors and pastel crayons. I think it’s great and I enjoy doing it. I just like it because it’s part of my self-esteem. My paintings are good because I am good hearted.
I don’t want to waste paint. I like to use what I have. I know paint is expensive. I like painting colors, like stain glass, like colored windows. I like to make new paintings. I want to give my old ones away. I just don’t want them anymore. I like to sign my name on the back in case people want to know whose painting it is.
I want people to buy them. I want to sell them for more funds. $75,000. I like to earn money, more funds: $10,000. I wish we had our own building to ourselves. I’d like to have a bakery- restaurant. I’d like to be doing baking too.
I enjoy being here with Ronnie and Jan. Jan and I work together. I like helping Jan and Debbie. I want Jan and Kathy to work with me baking. I miss Lakesha.
I just need a million dollars.
