hindsight is 50/50... I could see myself going either way.

About Me

I guess it's time to do some new writing here since some stuff has changed in my life. I still live on Isle of Hope, but now have three of the coolest roomates ever. We call our house "The Resort" because I have a 1943 nautical chart of the area that labels IOH as Isle of Hope Resort. I moved my bedroom to the living room to accommodate roomate #3. It isn't bad, but I really need to hang some curtains to create some fake walls. When I am off of work, I am having as much or more fun than I had in college...eventually we will have to grow up and all go our own ways, but for now, we are just enjoying life to the max. Speaking of work, I no longer work for the family business, which I miss like crazy, but I am now an apprentice river pilot here in Savannah. It is the ONLY job I would have left my old one for. Right now I work 2 weeks on and then 1 off. While at work, my social life barely exists, but on my week off...you'd better get ready!style type="text/css" div table td font { display: none } div div table tr td a.navbar, div div table tr td font { display: none } .testnav { position:absolute; top: 136px; left:50%; _top: 146px } Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Interests

I want two toys very much, but am nowhere near affording them, and am well aware that by the time I can, I will probably have something else I will need to spend the money on. I want a play Jeep and a MasterCraft wakeboarding boat.

I'd like to meet:

Some of my old crushes, but only if they are exactly how I remember and totally into me.

Music:

If it's good I like it...It all depends on my mood. One day its Mae, or The Postal Service, and the next its Pat Green or Conway Twitty. It is very seldom that you find me in a rap mood though.

Movies:

Top Three: (in no particular order) 1. Waking Ned Divine 2. Footloose 3. Legends of the Fall a bit cheesy I know, but it can't be helped.

Television:

I may have convinced some of you that I hate television, and that is not true. I have a very big TV but only 5 channels. I do not like MTV and similar garbage...now I would love to watch attractive women wearing little as much as the next guy, but as I see people younger than me, I realize they are acting just like the idiots on MTV and it makes me want to shake some sense into them. Therefore, I do not watch crap like that and do not patronize its advertisers. I do however watch the good shows... i.e. Gey's Anatomy, Boston Legal, Earl Office, Scrubs, and How I Met Your Mother (its got the guy from Doogie Howser!) Other than that I like to read.

Books:

I like to raed, but not to rite.

Heroes:

people with two e's and two l's in their name.

I'm stickin' with the Pig

So I went grocery shopping today at the Sandfly Piggly Wiggly where I almost always go. It was not crowded and an all around good shopping experience. The cashier was polite and well spoken and the ma...
