I’m 100% Southern and consider that to be a good thing. I’m sorry for the people that don’t understand.
I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi where I went to Jim Hill High School and Millsaps College. I worked several jobs while going to college but most often could be found behind the counter at good old “Speed-E Food.” One of the most fun jobs I ever had, because of the people that lived in South Jackson.
After college, I went to work for the IRS as a Revenue Agent. I loved it and I was good at it but my health fell apart. I had to take a position of as a Functional Automation Coordinator, which was fancy Government speak for Computer Analyst.
I finally came to my senses. Decided working wasn’t a good idea for me and applied for disability. It was granted. As soon as I was shed of my responsibilities in the states, I flew to the Philippines to find out what was out there.
What I found here has been awesome, its not perfect here but I have much more of a life here than I could have in the USA. It is just too costly to live in the US for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the USA. I miss it too. I wonder what it will feel like when I get back.

Video of my first Island Hopping Excursion. Saw something about myself standing out in the video. I’m a loner and an explorer.

Why do we continue to allow Iran to get stronger? Why do we allow it to attack us and Israel yet we respond with words and sanctions only? We are going to war with Iran, why wait?

Quitting Smoking, now that the withdrawal from stopping Effexor has subsided, its time to stop smoking. I want to smoke, I like to smoke but it makes my lungs burn.
