Brandon Mayes

Parked about 5 feet from the Eastern rim of the grand canyon, 2000 feet straight down! Wasn't supposed to be down there driving around, but I couldn't resist getting in a picture of my truck with such a beautiful background!
In the following paragraph I may discourage anyone from living in Arizona, but keep in mind that during the fall and winter months, there is an overwhelming supply of old people on the road for me to terrorize and send into a panic with a simple honk of the horn! While they may drive 40 in the fast lane, change lanes for no reason without signaling, and cause me to leave 20 minutes earlier than normal for work, it's all worth it if I get to see just one of them crash through the front a completely innocent building!
I currently live in Phoenix, and yes, it is as hot out here as people say it is. Then the next day...it's even hotter! I just don't understand why hundreds of thousands of people would flock to 120 degree heat and an ugly brown desert landscape, but then again, I'm here so I guess that doesn't say much for me! I'd love to get back to Texas soon mainly to be closer to the family, but work has me out here for the time being so I guess I'll make the best of it! I'm an electrical engineer/field service tech for a semiconductor manufacturer (basically, we manufacture computer chips). The pay is good, I somewhat enjoy my job, but I'm still not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life. Hopefully one day I can realize what I would rather be doing for a career, but for now I'm kind of stuck in a wonderful rut. Still single - can't decide between love or keeping my money. Right now, I'd have to say I'm leaning more towards the money! Not much to tell, my life revolves around work at the moment!
The above slideshow: Well for Christmas this past year, my parents found the most awesome, amazing, wonderful present for me... A chance to drive a stock car! Sure, I'd hinted around time and time again that I would love to do it, but I never imagined it would come as a Christmas gift! So to them, I must say a huge thank you for giving me one of the most thrilling experiences of my life! I chose Phoenix International Raceway to drive at, I was not dissappointed in the least! I turned about 50 laps total, had to have one of my tires changed during the event, and then ran out of gas with about 2 laps to go, so that added a little extra excitement! I can't wait to start hinting around that I'm ready to go do it again! Thanks mom and dad, you're the best!
