Oh man, where to begin with this. I'm flattered so many have bumped up this thread asking where I am and in my novel fiction romantic ramblin' nature that may or may not have come true.
I'm 25 now and just finishing up school. I had a few setbacks with a health issue I now have under control(epillepsy) where alot of my classes didn't transfer and I was set back with many at my new school when I transfered due to health. To that end, finishing up school is number one and I am proud to say I'm done(finally!).
I haven't thought about this thread in quite some time, so I apologize to not getting back to many of you. Many stories have come and go since I wrote this 8 years ago. Oddly enough, a few involve Florida :) My bartending dreams are starting to work themselves out- I officially enrolled in classes and will be done hopefully by Fall if I can juggle my internship along with night classes with bartending. After that.. I plan on going to Florida. I have a girl---friend who lived down there for 5 years who can set me up with a job right on the beach by Sarasota. Hell, I figured why not for a year. A cousin of mine leads a marketing department in Chicago and offered a job once I get myself "settled down". Til then? Well....Why not? Things do fall in place from time to time.
I've made it down for a few wild and wacky romantic adventures in Florida from my last post. If I can put it shortly, I went with friends to Florida, went to a fun local bar right OFF the beach, befriended bartender who needed help one evening(he owened the place) and I helped pour a few easy drinks and handed out beers. Meet girls from east coast one fine night, get invited(by myself- I ditched my friends) back to their condo right off the beach. So, as a Florida memory was sizzling with 4 beautiful brunettes with the sun setting sitting in backseat of a Camaro; you can call that one wild night on the beach :)
Other time I got a free plane ticket from a girl I met on same trip. Went down there, slept on the beach for a few nights with her and made my way back home eventually.
So, in essence, am I dissapointed I haven't made it down beachin' it? No, I am not. I can't say I saw my health scare coming. I should have. Playing football all my life I should have noticed the twitching that came with it over the years, but I didn't. Do I still get excited about taking classes and putting on the 'hippy hippy shake'? LOL yes I do. Do I Think I'll make it down? Absolutely. Florida, at the very least. I have nothing else going up here. Why not? It's all beginning though. And that's the best part. So I hope I haven't dissapointed some of you over the years, thinking I was away pourin' another round in the Bahamas. We'll be settling for Florida it looks like. But,ya know, the way things turn out for me sometimes; who knows where I'll be after that? I should keep some of you updated and for that I apologize. Very cool thread and I appreciate the interest- I assure you some of my more telling stories have involved me on the beach, if that is any sort of consolation, I'll be keeping in touch.
Hope all is well with some of you. Updates will be kept and I can't wait to see this thing rollin'.
P.S.- What I said about motorcycles and hipsters is not a work of 'fiction'. I alreayd logged over 1000 miles so far this summer on my Triumph. My buddy and I just have mapped out a road trip on Route 66(we live 10 minutes from the road) an have planned a Thursday-Sunday ride to Nashville to visit one of my best friends around my birthday, which is this month. So, I haven't lived through fiction. Thanks though
