Random Thoughts

For most of my life I've been moving around. (And no I'm not talking about just random motions. I mean when you move from city to city.) When I was younger my family moved around a good bit. I lived in three different houses before I started school in Tennessee. Then we moved to Dadeville, AL. We stayed there for a year and then moved to Opelika, AL for a year and then moved back to Dadeville. I stayed there till I graduated High School. That summer I moved to Douglasville, GA and started school at Carroll Technical Institute. I lived there for a year, and then moved back to Dadeville. Then I moved to Tuscaloosa, AL and attended Shelton State Community College with a side, applied trumpet, class at University of Alabama. I lived there for two years then moved back to Dadeville for a summer and then moved up here to Jacksonville, AL. I've been in Jacksonville for over 5 years now. Within the 5 years I've lived in Jacksonville Place (2 yrs.), a house (a semester), Sparkman Hall (a semester), Cottonwood Apartments (2 yrs.), and now I live at Park Place Apartments.

You would think I would get somewhere and light. But no I just keep going. To add to my moving I started traveling around doing mission work. In the past three years I've been to China twice (a month each time), Wales (for 3 1/2 months), Ukraine (a week), Symirna, TN (a week two winters) Philadelphia (two spring breaks), Massachusetts (for a summer), and now during spring break I'll be going to Guatemala for the week. At this point I'm not believing my own life. I feel like some kind of wild Mustang. No wonder I haven't had a date in the past 6 years. I'm not in one place long enough to date anyone. They would feel abandoned if I tried to date them. Can you date someone if they're always on the go?

The funniest part to me is the fact that I've always felt like I was a pretty laid back person. I've never felt like I've done anything. At times I don't feel that I've accomplished anything. And that's because I don't believe all the things I've done and been through in my 27 years on this planet. I've worked a bunch of strange jobs, studied in 4 universities in the states, took a couple of classes about youth work in Wales, and worked at a professional Theatre for their summer season.

I digress until later when I can remember why I started this post.......
