Just a short note, cause I am not in the mood to write. In fact, I’m only in a mood to rip off heads and set them on fire!
I’m in the process of forced cut back on the cigars. I’ve become addicted and was up to four a day. That’s way too much so I ran out and didn’t buy any more.
So until this is over, I probably wont be posting.

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.

Hey Rusty,
Best of luck with this endeavor. I hope all goes well and you will be back to posting very soon.
Kind regards,
Craig
I was doing well until we lost our internet connection. That was just too much. Nothing to take my mind off it. Jessie also didn’t like to see me suffering so. She suggested I get some Marlboro until my cigars come in. Having trouble making that order!
When I smoked the first one, it caused some strange sensation as it relieved the withdrawel. Very interesting but scary the power of nicotine!
I will continue. I hope you’re following http://heyjoe.ph as I write there much more often.
Rusty, I enjoy reading your stories very much. You communicate life in raw and true to life form. I too enjoy cigars and have more than a fond affection for the Philippines and the people. My trips to Phiils are not as frequent as I would like but I do get there several times a year. I would like to meet you and smoke a cigar… really I want to meet your monkey :-). I always travel with a humidor full of Partaga’s and Cohiba’s. TC and hope to meet you in the future.
