I do not regret the things Ive done but those I did not do.
Recently as my wife and I were driving back from orlando after catching a movie " the upside of anger ", very entertaining might I add for anyone out there who cares. We were discussing out past and how different we have become since our highschool and even college years..neither of us regret most of the things that we have done because it has made us who we are today. Do you feel the same??

Strange Days
First a little bit about myself. I find that My life is anything but boring. Just when I think that it is I stop and recall my past years and the events that have led me up to this point. It is a journey to say the least and one filled with excitement and uncertainty. So I was born and raised in Tampa. Fl, attended a very small private school which at the time was know as Seminole Presbyterian. Now it is a different name but lets not get into that right now. I was, what many would consider, a typical teenager who rebelled against authority figures, with the exception of my parents b/c I really did respect and love them. Now, upon graduation after a short glich in my ultimate goal which one can only describe as " life got in the way " I was at Florida State pursuing my degree in Criminal Justice. I was very active in sports, fitness, my church and other various activities. I stayed active and love every minute of it. I came to form some deep and long lasting friendships that I have to this day. I eventually found my wife and we were married right before her last year of school. So for that first year of marriage I got a full time job from my current college part time job at the attorney generals office in Tallahassee. My wife was completing her Sr. year as a studio art major. Soon after being promoted to full time I transferred to the FL. Dept. of Law Enforcement which is where I had my sites set before I even graduated. ( I just spilled Dr. Pepper all over myself..dahhh ) To make a long story short the money was just not enough to support a full time student and wife and myself. After a brief job search in the Tampa and Orlando area I landed a job with the Children's Home Society in Lakeland Fl. my wife's home town. Now neither were thrilled about moving to Lakeland since we really did not like Florida that much. We were really hoping to move to Atlanta or to somewhere in Tennessee. But Lakeland here we were, now coming from a very large city with everything that anyone could ever want to little lakeland, I was in culture shock. Lakeland slowly started to grow on us and we have come to realize that this is where we are supposed to be right now. We found an awesome church, met a lot of great friends, and have great jobs. I started my own pressure washing business that I do on the side and during the day I work as an office manager at a CPA firm in Winter Haven and make very good money. We are building a house which I cannot wait to get into, our apartment will not allow be to properly use my surround sound system which I really want to crank up when I play halo 2. Spring of 06 I will submit my application for graduate school at USF in the Criminal Justice program and if I am fortunate to get accepted I will get my masters and one day work in a crime lab either in Tampa or Orlando. I have no means told you about many of the details, stories, adventures, and others funn stuff of my life. I am afraid that no amount of time would warrant that kind of story and here I am only 25 years old and my life is already a novel. So sorry if this is a bore but I like to write.
