I was born near New Orleans, Louisiana...lived near Baton Rouge for the longest time, then moved to the Northwest part of the State...just below Shreveport. I love it here...good fishing and hunting.

I don't have the "cajun" accent anymore, too much traveling, I guess. I caught the travel bug at the age of 18 when I joined the Army. Spent a few years in Europe (mostly Germany), and have traveled the States extensively since then. I've yet to make it to Canada or Australia, but they are on my list.

I was raised in a family of 13 kids so I guess I never had much need for too many friends as a child. I had 8 brothers and 4 sisters...4 older brothers, 4 younger...3 older sisters, 1 younger.

As most of my friends know, Carly and I have been chatheads for nearly 3 years now...(WOW! how'd you manage to put up with us for that long?).

We've met some truly wonderful lifelong friends on this puter...(don't know how we would have survived without one now)...actually, it's been both a blessing and a curse.

I'm going to try to not get too mushy here and name names, but I seriously think that you know who you are that have truly enriched our lives.

Come to think of it, even the song here can relate to you guys, even though most of you know how I feel. As most of you should know by now, I try to be totally honest...and usually say what I feel and or think. *Now, you may learn a soft side of me you've never known I had.* LOL

I'm very thankful for YESTERDAY, cause I can change myself from the mistakes I made in the past, and learned to better enjoy and appreciate the friends and family I've had over those long years. And very thankful of the friends I've met on the net through lots of those yesterdays...

I am more thankful for TODAY, so I can really enjoy the friends and family from yesterday, and I can try to make up for all those mistakes I made in my yesterdays. And thankful that today gives me new opportunities to meet new friends. *S*

And TOMORROW???...i don't concentrate on tomorrow, cause it may never come. I try not to perceive too far into the future, cause for some of us, there is no future (except for the legacy we leave behind).

Which brings me to one of the reasons for creating this page, to let you personally meet the real difference makers in my life.
