First Post

This is the first post of many to my new site. I already have a picture site online at www.geocities.com/joshtips18 but I have not added to that site in probably 4 years. I got this idea from a good friend named That Guy. He is a guy..well, he is That Guy, who everyone loves. He has the personality which will permit him to achieve whatever he wants to. He can very well be a people person and like many others he can be an A-hole. I met him approximately a year and a half ago. I don't remember too much about the first night we met, but I do remember showing up to my apartment in T-town with a box full of handles of liquor and about two cases of beer. That being said now you might understand why I was walking around naked at the end of the evening. It was a good time. I think. I am sure I made myself available to some poor decisions, but like we always say...You have to slay some dragons to get to the princess. This is the night that my roommate Stan and I dubbed him "That Guy". Now, Stanley takes all the credit for the name, which is sort of ok with me, but it was one of my sayings. You see, Stanley is a bit of a follower who wants to pawn himself off as a leader. He is a lush too. From that night on I believe that That Guy and I kept in touch. He had not yet moved to the horrible hole in the universe that I temporarily called home. All of the women there were either married, engaged, had kids or were pregnant. Possibly inbreds. Who knows.

On to bigger things. I am in Florida now. I am a Texas native born and raised. I have only rode a horse about 3 or 4 times so shut up. I have no hick accent, unlike Stan, and I don't live on a ranch. I made the huge mistake of joining the Navy. One of the most elite fighting forces known to man...ha I say to that. Jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes. One word...RETARDS. Intelligence is not a prerequisite for military personnel. Obviously if I am let in. Being here in Florida is tough. I have no friends here and that is a semi-problem. I miss my friends from back home. I miss Roy D and Marc and Tim and TG. I miss Dusty D who cant stop knocking people out up in Norman. The boy has all the gifts in the world and a temper and physical strength to move a building while taking a dump. Ya, he's that strong. No, seriously. I find myself judging people in a way that I quite possibly never realized that I did before. I have never really thought that i was too good to be anyone's friend. Now I do. that is a bad thing. These people are thugs. Thiefs. Here one week and my car was broken into and personal belongings were mistaken for someone elses property safely locked in my car. Weird. Guess I just thought that was my stuff. I should have known better. Like it says in the bible...kinda...I can give up all of my posessions and be ok with that. My happiness doesn't rest in material things. I love my family. I love my friends more than they will ever know. I have a great support team. I get to go home tomorrow. I will get to see all of these great people I have spoken of. It will be hard to come back to FL. I will write more tomorrow. One.
