Something besides work...

[howie_b]

I have not entered anything lately because I have been getting my ass kicked and not been able keep up with everything I have going on. The funny thing about what I do is that I work over eighty hours a week yet feel like I have more personal time than I did when I worked a regular forty hour week. I watched the Jermaine Taylor- Bernard Hopkins

Wow honey! That was great...I ask one question, you give me three (yes, no, no, btw) ;) and no answer at all... heh... so is that a cabin? I know people there really well and could probably get a great deal on a rental for a few days. So I think a cabin would be great but I would be even farther from town or Chattanooga. Its a toss-up. You think a cabin??? I would probably have more fun that way dont you think? Are you a party type person when you are out like that or do you like the quiet and tranquility?

[iamridiculous]

ha, whatever! i clearly responded with a "yes, you should go for the cabin!".
by "party"...i don't drink or smoke, etc. i like loud music and cool people. it all depends on how you define party. but from experience, i am not a partier by other's people's definition.
i definately like tranquility.

one out of two...

[howie_b]

Well one of two isnt bad! I do drink, but not like a fratboy who thinks its just "the coolest thing ever!" but just when I am relaxing I will have a drink. I dont smoke...anything...ever. I am like you in that I LOVE the music loud but most of the time I like to be on the river in a canoe or hiking, swimming, etc. I wouldnt consider myself a partier at ALL. I like to entertain, just having a few friends over to hang out. I love to cook so most people always try to get me in that mood. I can BBQ like a mad man. :) Mostly I like to be with one other person and just chill all day long. So about the question am I rich? Ha! There are plenty of people who think that making money is basically selling your soul but thats not really the case. Most people who say that are just lazy bums. One of the greatest thing in the world is to be able to have all your bills paid and be able to spend money on whatever you want and not have to worry about anything. What I dont like are people who think they have money because they live like that

i get back in cleveland august 21st.
the countdown is on.
so you BBQ? awesome! sounds like something i would have to experience to appreciate fully. :)
being with one other person [as long as that person is pleasant] and chilling is what it's all about.
i would have to agree with your opinion on money. that's what my brother tells me all the time.
i don't fish, but i want to. i've only been once or twice, and if i remember correctly, i only caught something once. haha. as long as i don't have to "gut" the fish, then i'm down.
but i love to swim! in the ocean and in the river! ah. i love to swim.
do you fish?

Do I fish??!

[howie_b]

I'd almost rather fish than breathe! I love to trout fish. I will have to give you a crash course in fishing 101. It is easy, you will love it. I wade so you have to be prepared to get all wet. No gutting required, I can handle that myself I guess. It will be a good time, just hanging out. The cabin I am looking at renting looks pretty cool. Check it out... http://www.welcomevalleyvillage.com/pines.htm... )

i'll take that as a yes. :)

[iamridiculous]

i'm not going to lie...wading and fishing sounds like a wicked good time. i would love to learn to fish.
that cabin is totally ridiculous. the connotation of the word "cabin" includes a wilderness sort of atmosphere...and that cabin is LUXURIOUS! it's gorgeous. and amazing. incredible.
haha, it sounds like you had quite the experience on the Ocoee. i have never seen the movie Delieverance [nor do i have any interest in seeing it], but i have heard about it. funny stuff.

Re: i'll take that as a yes. :)

[howie_b]

I think we could rough it pretty easy in a cabin like that... heh. ;) So what are you going to do when you get to Cleveland? I mean, a job? I have to be at an auction in the morning to buy a lake house so I am about to bounce. Whatever you do when you get there, make sure you are able to take some time off when I come in. What are some of your favorite things? Gotta run! :)

Re: i'll take that as a yes. :)

[iamridiculous]

well. i'll be taking 17 hours at school, and working at Walgreens.
if you give me enough notice though, i can get time off.
my favourite things are...music (shows), photography, walks, swimming. basically i just like to chill.
you're going to buy a lake house.
goodness gracious.

Re: i'll take that as a yes. :)

[howie_b]

Bought it. $177k. It is worth about $300k. YES! I am so excited. And I made about $12g today so I am in a really good mood! :)
