Sup guys? Some words from your sponsor.... My dog's a good cuddler but have been thinking that i want/need/am ready for a LTR after a long hiatus in the boyfriend dept. Yeah, somebody to be my stuff. I don't wanna come home anymore to find my house is dark and my pots are cold. Am gonna try real hard this next go around to avoid another favorite mistake. Anybody that's got a nice smile and can make me laugh is doing really great in my book. Somebody with some drive, too, and otherwise has their act together at whatever level they operate on and it's good to go. Just smile and the spell is cast. It's so very, very, very simple. Moved to Georgia last fall from 4 years in NYC for a job and a major quality of life change. Family's down this way but not too close :) Glad to get out of NYC. Fun to visit though. Be sure to bring $$ and patience. I still can't believe that I lived there. It's crazy and exciting and aggravating and wonderful all at the same time, full tilt. It's actually fun to drive there 'cause you get to use pretty much all your own favorite rules - everybody else does. It's scary at first but then it's lots of fun. You can perfect your jaywalking skills, too, with glee. It took me a couple of years before I tried it myself and now I do it at every opportunity that presents. Need to populate my girl and guy gangs all over again - sux. I miss all my homies! My love to The Bronx! Appears that there's a nest of Republicans here so politics are just a bit different here, among other things - gay guys named Bubba or Scooter that drive full-sized V8 trucks with mud on them but it's going to be okay - I think. It really hit me that I was in another world when I stopped at a roadside stand to buy some homegrown vegetables and the lady was selling moonshine on the side - seemed to have been her most popular product; maybe because of the free samples. Another good one: Went to the Kroger grocery store and saw turtle meat (not a typo) in the meat case. I asked the butcher what kind of turtle it was and he said 'I recon it's the kind that couldn't run too fast.' True story! OMG! Who the Hell eats turtle meat? I guess Bubba and Scooter - I just hope they find each other. Was a bit confused when I first moved down here - saw a lot of trucks with a falcon symbol for the front license plate so I simply assumed that everyone was pledging allegience to Falcon XXX Studios so you can imagine my dismay when I found out a few weeks later that it represented the Atlanta Falcons football team. I guess I play with different kinda balls - hahaha. Hope the guys didn't mind the wave and the smile.... Unlike NY, entertainment here is way cheap - you can see local woman's roller derby leagues Sirens vs. Regulators for only $10! That's a lot of value to see miniskirts, elbows and blood all in the same event! One of the women said 'Roller derby is what keeps me going'. Gotta remember to check that out. When in Rome.... They have grits here, too. The good kind - stone ground. For those of you not familiar with that food, grits are a porridge made from corn but unlike other hot cereals made with other grains, for example, oatmeal or cream of wheat, which are typically sweetened with sugar and flavored with cream, grits are salted and buttered and eaten as a side dish for breakfast - yummy! Oh, I almost forgot! The words 'double-wide' do not necessarily refer to rolling papers but also to a type of dwelling that apparently attracts tornados and hurricanes. They gotta lotta bugs here, too. So many that it sounds like aliens are landing or like a boiler is going to explode ick but maybe the sound is coming from that nuclear power plant that I heard is over in SC - I'm not sure. I've seen a few bugs here that I'm certain are undiscovered species; one so large my dog barked at it. For evidence, I try to take pictures of the strange bugs and show them to my coworkers but I only take pics of large ones that I happen upon. I try to put my shoe in the photo for size perspective and one tried to attack my shoe! Careful! Apparently, they get brave when they get so large or maybe they're just hungry - ick. THEY DO NOT RECYCLE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA! That's so 1980's but, like I mentioned previously, there are a lot of Republicans here. Speaking of bugs... just set up an awesome aquarium and bought some really cool fish for it: 'thai yellow', 'brilliant blue diamond' and 'blue snakeskin' Discus fish - the king of fishes! They're awesome but I gotta feed them bugs gross barf out but I guess you don't put a piece of lettuce on a hook to catch a fish, right? Spent way too much money on a really cool-looking algae eater fish for the tank that hides all day!!! Maybe he'll overcome his shyness - i hope so. He's called 'flash or emperor pleco' if you wanna Google to see what he (she?) looks like. Love to my fishes! Was recently told that if I sang that I'd sound like James Morrison and somebody else mentioned that I look like MMA fighter George St. Pierre though he's got 40 lbs. on me and he's ripped. Maybe the guys that said that just wanted to get in my pants - haha. Makes me think that maybe I had the wrong major in college... If you like the vibe to my profile or wanna know anything else, don't be scared to hit me up, guys! These Georgia/South Carolina boys ain't been so welcoming! What's the worst that could happen? You email/IM somebody? Some things that I enjoy: Know that war, like the thunderbolt, follows its own laws, and turns not aside even if the beautiful, the virtuous and charitable stand in its path."
