I am here for Friends

About Me

A little about me, my name is Brandon. I grew up in a small town right outside of Jacksonville, Fl, where I lived my entire life until the age of 17, where then, I moved into the metropolitan area of Jacksonville. I made many unique and wonderful friends there and enjoyed my life up to that point. I decided that I was ready for a change and moved to the Tampa Bay area. I’m 23 years old and live in Tampa, Fl, where I have now resided since April of 05. It's now been two years in my new home and I have enjoyed the scenery and the people. I have made many more unique and fun loving friends since I have been here. I enjoy the scene here much more then in Jacksonville, but I still miss it at times, and I miss my family, which brings me to go home and visit about every other month or so.
I see life as an adventure, a journey that will bring many people, places and things upon your heart, and it is those very possibilities that are about taking chances, learning all that you can, creating everlasting friendships, making unforgettable memories with the ones we love and call friends, and finding true happiness along the road of life. You only get one life to live, so I say make the most of every precious moment you have, take every opportunity that comes across your path and explore it. You just aren’t living life if you’re not out enjoying it! There is not much in my life I regret, if any, because every regret is a missed opportunity.
I have made many mistakes in my life, most have, but it is those mistakes we learn some of our most important lessons, in which we build our foundations, the ground in which we stand upon and morals we live by. I have many people to thank who have pushed me along the road thus far. I admire those who have given much and taken little, some things in life are never what they seem. Some of the smallest things can mean so much and you never realize just how much it truly means to you until you no longer have it. Never take someone for granted, because tomorrow they may not be here. I can only say what I know and it is that I need those closest to me in my life and to be surrounded with laughter and friends.
What Makes Me: (these are in no particular order)
Passions - Cooking, trying new foods, gardening, and visiting new places.
Flaws - Procrastination (though I am working on it), remembering dates, being self-conscious, speeding, and being shy around a crush.
Happy and Enjoy - Spending time with the ones I love, making new friends, tennis, riding horses, jet skiing, knee boarding, scuba, swimming, wow, camping, canoeing, boating, animals, making memories, photography, fashion, music, art, volunteering time for a good cause, inspiring a younger person, laughing, being able to help someone in need, watching movies, learning something new, listening to someone’s story, dancing.
Weaknesses - Puppy-dog eyes, white chocolate covered strawberries, sad romantic movies, meaningful songs, beautiful boys, falling in love.
Angry - Cruelty to animals, violence, those who do not respect the elderly, David, Osama Ben Laden, those who spread and promote unkind things.
Sad - missing those I have lost, funerals, sad songs, seeing someone cry.
Fears - Loosing someone I love, never having children, snakes, dying alone, being able to never forgive.
I am a person who enjoys the company of others, I can be really flirty at times and not even realize it, it’s just the type of person I am. I was raised with what you might call southern hospitality, there for, I have manners and I respect those around me and I respect the elder. I sometimes have great ideas that I never act upon. I’m a thinker, a dreamer who dreams big, I see beauty in some of the smallest things that most would not understand, in turn some would call me a weirdo or corny but you are what you are and I am certainly proud of that. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and no matter whom you are, I try really hard not to judge someone until I get to know them. I hate sushi but love fish. I will try anything once as long as it will not harm my body. I have dreams and aspirations that I hope to fulfill throughout my life time. I Hope to one day meet someone who has similar interest and goals in life as I do, who would truly make me happy and I could share my everything with but until that happens I keep my friends close and just have fun.
There are a few people that I have to give thanks too, for being a part of my life, teaching me values, showing what a true friend is and what love really means and though they are no longer in physical form, they are certainly in my heart each and every day.
I have to thank my great grandmother for so much. Teaching me so many lessons and morals, right from wrong, what hard work can accomplish, to always stand up for what you believe is right and no matter how bad things may get, just remember it could always be worse.
I thank my farther for raising me, for supporting me in whatever I did, for making me appreciate so many things I took for granted, in helping to give me a decent childhood and showing me how to treat the one you love with all your heart and when things get tough, how to stand up and fight for what you want.
I give a special thank you to my dear friend who left us at such a young age and meant so much to so many. Stacey Long-

You were a friend to many, a caring person who always had a smile on your face and kind things to say about others even when in doubt. You were full of energy and always laughing. You cared for your friends and considered many of them family. You were a heartfelt person, and your passion was to dance and it showed. You came alive when you danced, your personality so unique. I know that is why so many loved you. You had character, spunk and a lot of love to give. I hope you know how much each and every one of us will truly miss you, the times we spent together, the memories we made, and all the fun we had, so full of life, so much unsaid, and so much we miss. I love you Stacey Long, and I hope you are smiling at each of us, watching, guiding and protecting us all, as the angel u were when we knew you and the one you are now. I will always cherish you, all the fun, all the friends, and all the many wonderful times, so much laughing, yes you will always be remembered and forever in each of our hearts. I love you Poononie :p
I would like to share something with you that I once read a long time agoe, that has helped me come along way in life. So many times I can reflect upon these words and know that no matter what I may be going through or how tough things get; things will work out in the end just stay strong and keep loving life.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you SMILE because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. You want to get to know me drop me a line. My AIM is JAXBOIB.
