Mud on the Tires

My goal for the next 10 years of my life is to see the world, acquire a little piece of property on the out skirts of the greater Nashville area where the skyline if full of trees and clouds and buildings fade away. I want to meet the woman of my dreams and raise a family with her next to our big fireplace in our quiet country home. I want to save up those frequent flyer miles and go on the spur-of-the-moment trips you see in movies. Ireland is of my current interest, so maybe it will be that first destination to steal my heart from the shores of the states. This is what I am always thinking of; how badly I want to grow up.

So Christmas this year has come and gone. The lines at the stores are still full. The returns during this time of year are tremendous. This is one aspect of the season that I do not care for. Christmas has turned from great time to relax and be with your loved ones to a commercial monster that is eating up the consumers of America. The spoiled get even more spoiled and the poor feel even worse about their economical status. This Christmas my brother and I decided to not ask for anything. With my brother being 23 and me being 20, we felt as if the presents should stop for us and we should return the favor to our parents. We learned a lot from this simple selfless act. It warmed our hearts for the better. But it wasn't about not getting gifts, it was about truly enjoying our time together without worry.

It seems like yesterday when we were celebrating the new 2007. It sure looked good on us when it got here. Now it's going to be 2008. I feel it is a year of uncertainties and growth. It will be a year that sets my life apart from being a teenaged kid that worried about being alone on a friday night. So I say bring forth this new year with a full head of steam. I want to learn, laugh, love, lose, die and live this new year. I want to feel free. I need to feel free...

My Brother

Yes, my brother graduated from college! He is a proud graduate of Mississippi State University and is ready for the real world that has been put before him. It's refreshing seeing him happy about it and he should be happy.

iMac

Well I am proud to say that I am the new owner of an iMac 24-inch widescreen computer. It came with all the bells and whistles plus some goodies Taylor Jones surprised me with. So, be on the lookout for new images on here along with my Flickr account. I am excited about what the future will bring.

I'm in Birmingham, AL for a few days. Sunday I will be traveling to Daphne, AL to see some family and spend Christmas. A lot is going to happen in the next few weeks to come so stay tuned to see what is up.
