Where should I start..... I was workin Thursday through Tuesday nights. I was able to finally get Friday's and saturday's off. So I guess that'd be a good place to start. MY first weekend off I went to the mullet festival. I was quite excited to go. I ended up seein people I haven't seen in a few years. A girl ai dated back in school, a buddy of mine from back in school, and a buddy from the academy to name a few. I tried fried gator for the first time. It was different. I thin it would have been better if they didn't fry it with the shark, chicken, and mullet. I had some beer too. First time legally able to drink there. I had no idea Foster's made cans that big. I thought they just made tall ones. That was friday night. I was gonna go with Amanda saturday night, but it was just to damn busy. I was campin and came back down from mossy head. That sucked. Well when i got back sunday i found out my room mate, Sam, got arrested for underage drinkin. I thought that was pretty funny. Needless to say she didn't.
The next weekend i went to see Nine Inch Nails in Atlanta. I've been through there before, but never drove. It was an expirence for me. Once I got into down town the interstate trippled in size. 6 lanes were goin one way. It was about 9pm. So i had my fun doin about 90 weavin in and out of traffic. (something u can't really do down here with traffic) It took some time to find our hotel. Mapquest sux!!! There were street names on the directions that weren't there. Anyhow, the next day we drove back downtown to see and do stuff before the concert. I didn't notice, but the speed limit on the 12 lane interstate is 55mph. Go figure. I saw everyone goin 70 so i went 75, got pulled over and was given a $162 ticket. I was pissed about it but didn't try to let it ruin my day. I went to the underground. It's not all that's it's hyped up to be. It's roughly the size of the mall here, but with some better stores. We then went to the CNN building. I had no idea they werer based out of ATL. Then we went to the concert. Death from above 1979, and Queens of the Stone Age opend. I didn't really care for either band. I was quite impressed about how they sounded live though. Just not my kind of rock. I can't tell u what it was like to see NIN. The only way anyone could ever know, would be to see them thierselves.
Somewhere around this time i went to Amanda's out in Tally for a FSU game/bbq. When i got there, there were a few people there, including her dad and his girlfriend. That struck me odd at first. Anyhow we had burgers, dogs, and shitty SHITTY beer from a keg. College kids..... We went to the game and had a bit of a tailgate party drinkin more beer. The game was good. Didn't have a good expirence though. We were all supposed to sit together but didn't and shit started happening. To make a long story short, people were pissed about a few things. So we left early, went back to the apartment and drank more beer. I have found that i'm pretty good at playin flip cup. I think it's mostly due to my ability to take larger shots of beer than others. I'm not to good at beer pong though. Some time later Amanda's dad did a keg stand. That was something of interest. Him and her were pretty lit by the time i left.
For halloween, i went to the block with Brian and Tara Lamb, and a couple of her friends. I have never been as drunk as much/been as drunk/puked as much. I'll just leave that part of the story at that.
I can't remember when i went, but i went to an air show with my dad in P'Cola for the Blue Angels Home Comming. I've been goin to air shows with my dad for as long as i can remember goin. It's one of my fondest memories. The one thing though that i have never liked since i was little, was standin out in that damn sun all day long. I find it funny that after we walk around all day, that when we take a break around lunch time and before the last flight, we sit under a wing (usually a fighter cause everyone else is under the bigger bomber wings) to get in the shade. It sure as hell makes a difference. I had a great time. I'm startin to appreciate some of the aircraft now that i'm older. I never understood that when i was a kid.
I went to see my sister in P'Cola sometime in november. I hadn't done that in awhile. I was with budy of mine. So us 3 and my sisters boyfirend went out to eat. I had a great time with them. I know that her and her boyfriend are gonna get married someday. I'm excited for them. I like the guy.
Somewhere around that time i went camping with my parents and the boyscout troop at Mariana Caverns. I hadn't been there since i was probably 8. It was a great trip execpt for my havin problems with my alternator, which pissed me off. My parents did better than i thought they would. I've never been campin with my mom. She was a girl scout when she was younger. I hadn't been with my dad since i was in the 6th or 7th grade. He's retired from the military, so naturally he's gonna know how to camp anyhow. The cavern was fairly dry. Which is unusall. This is more for just walkin through though. They had electricity runnin through it. I've been in quite a few that u have to crawl through spaces, down ropes, and through streams, with only a light on ur head.
I quit ny day job around this time. I miss workin there. I like where i'm workin now, but not as much as i liked workin there. Not sure why. It's been my favorite job i've ever had.
About mid december i was crusin out to walmart on my night off. I took general bond cutoff from 85 to lewis turner. When i got of turner, i noticed this truck all fucked up in the median. I stopped to help. Aparently it just happened about 30 seconds before i stopped. I had my friend call 911 one girl that stopped was on the phone callin and the other guy that stopped was too. I ran over pulled the keys out of the guys truck. *****IT IS IMPARITIVE TO DO THIS IF YOU EVER COME ACROSS AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE CHANCES OF A FIRE IGNITING FROM ELECTIRCAL DAMAGE***** The guy was thrown from his truck, which aparently rolled over. I couldn't tell if had been drinkin out not but i could smell alcohol on him. It could have been from a broken bottle or on his breath. He was suffering from severe head trauma. He kept asking who his friend was and kept sayin he was alright. I tried to keep him on the ground but he insisted up standing up. When he did he spread his arms out and with a blank stare on his face looked me in the eyes and said "i rise in the name of the lord" I thought to myself he sure as hell smacked his head good. Then he grabbed he side and buckled over falling face first. I eventually got him to lay still till EMS showed up. Once they got him on the stretcher and the neck brace on, that when he started to hurt pretty badly. After that was said and done, i went on my way.
A few weeks ago I went swimin with the manatee's with the boy scout troop. I've been once before so it wasn't anything new. We went with a local dive shop down there in crystal river. The manatee's weren't really active when we were there. It was pretty early in the morning. Later that day we went snorkeling down rainbow river. Turns out that about a million years, where that river is, was covered by ocean. The river is fed by a couple springs, that shoot up fossels through the rock. Many people have gone down that river and found fossilized sharks teeth. I was the only one when we went to find one. It's a little smaller than my pinki nail.
When i got back me, gus, his girlfirend, handsel, forbed, john, and amber went to friday's, starcade's and barley's. It was great to get out at night with a group of people my own age.
This is pretty much just a basic rundown of what i've been up to.

What has everyone else been doin?
