Life
Sigh, where have the time gone....I've absent from the page for a long time....Got caught in this reality we all calls life. There was some highs and some lows. I've gain some friends an I've lost some friends....I've lost my best friend..My best buddy Leo. Those was some tough and dark days...But, having friends that stand by your side and comfort you during those. Just makes life worth while.. I accomplished a lot since the last time, i was here. Finally, got my life going in a direction..Throughout, this journey. I've made some mistakes and I have learned from they.. I threw my heart in the wind for a chance at 💘. Which, that only got me hurt in the worst possible way.
That chapter is behind me now. When I've did that. I didn't realize how helpless and opened that made me.. I don't ever wants to feel like that ever again. This time, I'm taking things slow. Like I should've done in the first place. Going through a delicate process and finding that one person who fits what your looking for is so so beautiful.. Now, how long can that take.. No one truly knows...but why rush the process and risk messing it up, when good things come to the one's that wait it out...
My career as a truck driver is going good. I have this drive on the inside that's screaming out oh so loudly...More...So, now I want more out of this. I want more out of everything an everyone I come in contact with.This driving force that burns on the inside is fuel by my true goal in life. That's is starting a family on my own. I wants to accomplished that goal so badly. That going through these steps is necessary, and one I'll be able to kick back and enjoy what I work hard to get. Until then, I'm going to keep moving forward and not going to let no one stop me from reaching that goal !

It's Been A while !!
Well, it's been awhile since the last time I've been on this page an post something. Since i have some time on my hands, why not post something to let you all know i'm still alive an kicking. A lot things an events have taken place in my life. Some was good an some was bad, but i'm still here. The last time i was on here.
The last time i was on here i was getting ready to go to CDL school for swift transportation. That was a very fun an exciting time in my life. I learn a lot of new things, visit some really cool places an met some cool people who i became friends with, and still talk to this very day. My Swift driving career was cut short, because while i was out having the time of my life. Getting myself together to move forward in my life. Things back at home began to get bad an only head south from there. After, i tested out for Swift an they gave me a bus ticket to head home. I didn't return back to them. Because that feeling of knowing things at home isn't all sunny days an roses. I made the decision to go drive local so, i can be close to home an address the problems. I began my local career driving for a man name Eugene Gravois. He was into the local farming business an haul sugarcane to the mills. I had a interest in that for a long time. I think my interest in that type of work started when i was a little kid. I used to sit an watch the farmers get to harvest the fields of cane during the fall an winter seasons. The smell of burning fields an the sound of tractors rumbling . Is something i will ever forget. Then the sight of the trucks going from the fields to the mill an back. Really got hook on it. They way they use to cut an load the trucks have change. Hell, even the cane you may see if you pass far south in southern Louisiana have change. The crop you see today an the crop i seen when i was little is different. The cane crop you see now, is an hybrate crop. We been having some brutal winters, and that crop doesn't holds up well in that type of cold. Also throw in the factor that they start to harvest during the peak of hurricane season, so the weather plays a huge roll in how much you will profit during the harvest season.
I learn a lot driving for that guy. He was real old school driver. I learn a lot from the Mexican drivers he had working for him as well. The truck that was assign to be was an 2000 International eagle 9900i 10spd eaton fuller transmission. I learn to love that truck. It though a lot of stuff, like shift by watching the rpm's because the speedometer didn't work at all. I learn how to float gears on that truck. That was the best feeling, when i learn how to float through the gears. Than, everything else seems much much easier for me. I learn how to drive down really small roads. I learn how to drive on muddy roads. I felt like what i learn at that job, made me a much better driver. I was so happy an excited at what i learn there. I went back to due another season. Now, i had the chance to put what i learn my first season to the test. I was doing so, good that my boss didn't even say anything to me at all, Until, my trailer needed a new tire. He was like" I'm proud of you, your doing a good job an you came a long nicely. Now, keep up the good work". That really made my day. At, the same time i knew this was going to come to an end real soon. I had filled out an app to go drive for a tanker company, and they came calling halfway through the season. In which i answer the called, and began my career as a tanker yanker lol. That was really cool to. Learn an took in a lot of info, but i started to get some bad vibes about the company while i was there. They was taking way more new driver, than they had trainers to train them. Then, i heard they was about to lose a really big contract. So, i was like. Time to find me something else. I left them to find me something else to do. I was even debating into move to California. I still haven't come to terms with that yet.
I have for the moment put that on the back burner. I have a really good friend that live in California. He told whenever i made up my to come out west. I can. That's one of my guys i became friends with while i was in CDL training at Swift. I still have faith i can find something local. If not, than i will return to OTR for a while. I have a few companies already line up now but, i just want to give driving locally one more shot. I've going through some other things a well, an i will shine some light on that pretty soon.

Finally the Journey Begins !!
For the past few weeks, I've been traveling across the great state of Texas. Which you really don't really understand how big the state really is, until you do such thing. I been observing places, that would be great spots to take picture. I have to say. West Texas have a lot scenery shot, that will leave you want more, but bring lots of water, because it's hot and dry over. I can't wait until I get my new canon camera T3i rebel. Going to be on a picture and video taking frenzy. I also can't wait to visit other states out west either. I heard there are a lot of good spots out there to. I then, pretty much cover my state Louisiana, but will do it again with the new camera just to see how it will turn out. I'm sitting my eye's on Shreveport for this fall, because I haven't film or taking picture there yet. All I can say. These couple of months of hard work, is going to pay off big time. While I'm at. My as well get me an laptop so I can share my work with my friends. Stay tune end, because there's more to come !!

F%*k what u think !!!!!
Today, i think i hit an boiling with people judging other people. If your not try to tell that person something helpful that will push them in the right direction, than keep your f%$king mouth shout an keep it moving. I'm sick an tired of people telling of all people what the hell i can post on facebook an what i can't. If u don't like what i post than unfriend than. Which want hurt by the way. I respect people who send me a message an tell me, the y why i can't post that on facebook. But in general this facebook crap is so, over rated. It's a shame to see how many people, can't go a day without getting on that site. Man the future looks really dim for the up an coming youth, but that's another topic for another time. I have gotten a lot of complain over what i post/like on facebook. To some's it up in one big steamy pile of shit. I really don't give a fuck what u think. It's fucking facebook for crying out loud. U know u can delete your page an start over huh, But i guess people are scare to start over, u know a fresh start, create a new you. I been starting over my entire life. Dealing with hurricanes, oil spills an just moving to a new area. If your friends,family, gf,bf know what your like in person , than y should u care what anybody else thinks. When people start living life stress free, you'll see this beautiful place call earth in a hole new way. You will cherish life an be graceful for what u have.BUT i guess there's a lot of growing up that needs to be done. U know just got to find a way to leave that waste u call a life an move on. THERE'S GOING TO BE A PART 2 TO THIS !!
