Rusty

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.

    If it were me, I would keep this site alive, put your personal stuff here – some of that might be related to the Philippines, much of it will not. No problem there, because it is about you, and you live in the Philippines. Then I would do the HeyJoe.ph site as a site about the Philippines. I think it’s a good plan, and would mean a more active site for you in the long run.

    Good luck, Rusty.
