s'been a long time since i was able to drop in this forum and resume my usual lurking.  "a long time" being the month and a half i spent moving from virginia to florida and finding a job.  that was easy enough.  jobs are everywhere.. lots of opportunity.  definitely a very fresh change of pace for myself, having grown up in the economically desolate area of southwest virginia. 

it's amazing how much life has the capacity to change completely in a relatively short period of time.  in the past 6 months alone my entire world has flipped upside-down and done a 180? turn in a most random way.  it's a great feeling, but at the same time it's a sad one as well.

i feel like i'm truly growing again, no longer stifled by my own surrounding (constant reminders of where i've gone wrong or things i didn't do and should have) or unable to find work.  my girlfriend's brother hooked me up with a full-time job with a small electrical contractor as a helper/apprentice.  it's pretty sweet, despite the guy i work with being a completely braindead racist asshole that's moodier than a bipolar on her period.  i've learned a lot.  i plan on getting another job soon at a port-side bar & grill (harpoon harry's if anyone's ever been to port charlotte) right on the water.

my life seems to be working itself steadily back on track and i feel like the only person i truly have to thank is myself.  i know i had a lot of help but it all boils down to my determination to make changes and create a destiny rather than let myself stumble blindly through life going wherever the wind blows me.



anyway... i know most of you don't know jack shit about me or who i am, but i don't care, i don't know you either.  but i hope everyone's doing well..  :cool: :thumbup:

Hey man! It's great to hear you are doing well! I saw one of your posts in the related thread thing and wondered where you had ran off to. Where is Port Charlotte? I am near Pensacola.

thanks a lot omr, i'm glad to see you're still around as well (though i never really thought you wouldn't be) and that things are basically the same as they were when i "left".

any ideas for where you might go, should you decide to vacate?

Port Charlotte is on the southwestern coast of Florida, right next to Charlotte Harbor. 'bout an hour south of Tampa.

hit me up if you're ever down this way.

Right on. I used to live in Cocoa Beach for a summer. You going to Ultra? Langerado is soon, too, I think. They have a killer line-up, this year!

Go Amsterdam.  I think you'd fit right in there.. :wink:

Nah, evryone in A-Dam speaks good english, almost everyone at least. Paris and Amsterdam are the two European cities I've spent the most time in, I'd be able to find my way around right from the get-go.

But fuck I think I hate French people too much to move to Paris as much as I love the city!

I haven't heard of Ultra, but I'm definitely interested.. but I thought Langerado was a week or two ago?  Either way, I'm definitely up for some live music.  Orlando's House of Blues is only a 2 or 3 hour drive from me so I'm going to keep my eye on that venue as well.  I'm not used to having so much music coming so close to me.  Unfortunately for me I missed Buckethead in or near FL recently.  :frown:

Yeah.. Frenchies piss me off too. I wouldn't want to live in Paris simply due to the political unrest that was going on there recently.
