let me see...
1. i played cello and trombone. 2. i was selected as man of the year for the county i live in. 3. i was mistakenly reported on cnn as being killed in the line of duty after i was shot in a traffic stop in 1989. 4. i was an extra in several movies and tv shows. 5. i have written articles for several hunting and historical publications. 6. a girl i dated in high school later appeared in playboy's girls of the sec. 7. my college roommate hosted a show on tnt and is now an executive with tcm. i feel like a washed up has been who would have been better off to have passed away 10 years ago while i was at my peak.

That's the nature of telling stories about your life. It's all in the past. At any point in your life, you can be telling stories, and each one of those stories is in the past. You'll certainly have stories that will happen to you in the future, but once they happen, they will be in the past and you'll be a has-been again.
I like to always have plans for a vacation or something else, so I've got something to look forward to. It's important for my mental health. Even if it's a year off. |

I'd love a year off!

I am glad you brought this up. I know I will feel better once I get this off my conscious. ( off my conscious?) whatever.
Last year I began wearing mens athletic socks. I find them massively superior to womens socks, even women's athletic socks. Women's socks suck. Holes and piling and shrinking. Men's athletic socks last forever and ever; They hold their shape, they have cushion and arch support. I love them. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

It's because sock magnates know that women love shopping for socks, and think that socks are wonderful gifts! As a service to women, so they don't end up with a huge backlog of unused socks, they make women's socks shoddy. Men will keep wearing a pair of socks until the holes are big enough for the foot to go through, so their socks need to be rugged.

I don't like shopping for socks for myself because they are too expensive to have to constantly replace, but I do like giving socks. I am true to form there. Christmas, Valentine's, Halloween especially. ![]() @ stormie, I think those are the best secrets I have ever heard almost anywhere! @ casi, lol |

![]() I am sure there are some good high quality women's athletic, like Keen but I don't want to pay $15. dollars for a pair. They are good looking socks though. |

bagpipes are cool. Do you think you could still play?
