About Me

I graduated from Auburn University in 2004 with a degree in Software Engineering. I love good music and, of course, Auburn football. I don't drive a big pickup truck or wear pink Polo t-shirts, nor do I ever 'pop' my collar. I'm not one for fads. I'd like to think I'm a pretty unique person, but doesn't everyone think that? I like good movies, some video games, tropical aquariums, playing sports, and visiting with my few friends. I was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, but I am not at all a redneck. Rednecks get on my nerves, as do all people who choose to be ignorant. I moved to Auburn for college, but now I am living down in Destin, Florida. I currently live in a new-ish townhouse in Destin with two guys who are rather unique as well. If you don't know us, you might think we hate each other because we can be rather caustic in our daily interaction. It makes things more entertaining I work in the rarely-romanticised field of software development. I currently write code for a defense contractor, which bothers me a bit since I'm a bit of a pacifist. I don't work on weapons directly, so I rationalize my worries away for now. I don't really have any other significant experience in the field, so I need to stick with things for awhile before I can make any kind of career move. They don't really bother telling you how difficult it can be out here when you are in college. Sometimes I think I should put everything on hold and become a bartender for awhile. I know it would better suit my lifestyle, but I really don't want to throw away my education. I'm thinking about moving to southern FL or maybe California in a year or so because I don't really feel like I belong here. Let's see...I really hate mean people and douchebags; people should try to be kind more often. All I really ask for is respect and common courtesy. Hmmm...I am a recovering geek. I was kind of a dork in high school, but that was a long time ago now. I think I have managed to shake most of that stigma. I'm getting old. I like going out fairly often, and some people say that I drink too much. I say that they should live a day or two in my shoes before making that call. I really want to start getting into better shape, but it's hard to find the time to exercise. Hmmm. My life down here in Florida is sufficient, but I really miss all of my college buddies. Everyone is getting older and many are even married and doing the family thing. That's really creepy to think about sometimes. One of my friends from college moved down here, so at least I have one good friend. I like my other roomate too, but he is about to move back to Michigan. I have plenty of fun with those two guys, but I'm always on the lookout for new friends. That's all that comes to mind. Congratulations ..ing. You must be literate.[LOVEMYFLASH][/LOVEMYFLASH]

My Blog

my current situation

I have been alone for far too many years now, and it has really started getting to me.  Being alone is supposed to allow time for self-exploration and personal growth, but for some reason, I feel I ha...

It's tough to hold it together sometimes.

I feel like a caged animal.  I just want to scream and cry all at the same time.  I know this feeling.  I've felt this way a few times before, but I'm kind of going it alone this time.  I don't want t...

Paradigm Shift

    Life is tough.  I know that's a boring cliche, but it's very true.  I've gone through some trying times of late, and I'm in the middle of another one.  I think I've changed a good bit over the las...

My Discontent

Updated girlfriend application...

Don't bother.  It's not going to happen.  Women are a worthless waste of time.  End rant.

I need a change of pace.

Nothing I do seems to make me truly happy.  Yes, I'm lonely, but it's more than that.  I just don't feel important in any way.  I don't mean that in a sense that I lack fame or power bu...
