I couldn't make myself go. I'm certain a pretty lady was involved. I enrolled in school and stayed here for the in state tuition maybe too. I'm a junior now. Have a summer practicum I'm working on. Good things started happening to me here I guess. I've been to Florida a good bit the past couple years. I may wind up there sometime but for now I am content.

May 17 14 02:45 pm Link ooh..Paul and Bomb in the same thread I actually don't suck at photography,I might actually be considered slightly above average music career in limbo..had an awesome female vocalist that looked like a glamour model lined up for my next project(an ambient atmospheric technical prog metal sound)..couldn't compete with her domestic violence situation,kinda back in hiatus as that ripped the heart out of me creatively because we had some killer ideas and even set to do 2 videos... And relationship wise,about ready to try to figure out how to live my life alone without being suicidal because all doors and options/ideas have been slammed shut May 17 14 03:04 pm Link Okay. I'm moving back to NC in the fall. Broke up with my pretty long haired metal boy. That sucked pretty hard. I left my gym job last October because I couldn't live on the money. Hopefully going to grad school in 2016. Finally.

You are a trooper! You deserve great things. I bet you get them May 17 14 04:20 pm Link I went to West Virginia once. If I ever want to disappear and never be found that will be the place I will run off to. May 17 14 04:41 pm Link Bombadil wrote: Grad school will be awesome.

I'm going to learn to fight social problems and stand up for the those who feel they have no options for a better life. May 17 14 09:18 pm Link Isis22 wrote: I have a love hate relationship with it. The state has been exploited for a long time by extraction industries. You have good people falling into bad things out of desperation as extraction industries move. We have a lot of empty towns and the people left are poverty stricken. It's nice in some ways, bad in others. May 17 14 09:22 pm Link P I X I E wrote: I am happy to hear that!

May 18 14 03:55 am Link Bombadil wrote: It's interesting you mention that. I'll be moving back to Asheville, NC, the town where I grew up. I love it there, and have generally missed home the entire time I have lived away from it. I feel like my home town has been exploited too, but mostly by people who have tremendous amounts of money, moving in, driving up the cost of living while the average worker isn't really making enough to buy the now overpriced housing, over-developing the mountain land, which has these special and fragile ecosystems and flora and fauna you can't find many other places in the US. The air is a lot dirtier and smoggier there now than it was when I was little. So many big budget movies get filmed around that area, because the scenery that it turns everything into this sort of Mountain Disneyland, and screws the locals over because they can't afford to build nice lives for their families.

I remember curvy interstates most I think, coming from TN. I've been forged by fire and I'm full of determination now. I went through a lot, so I have a lot to give. Right now I'm studying Public Service Administration pushed hard toward sociology with my sights on grad school for social work. There is so much wrong here. People who used to be friendly, now carry guns and are afraid. People are robbed and killed. Local government and the cops are a good ole boy system. Jobs are scarce if any, outside minimum wage, except the mines. More and more miners are laid off each week. I hate to see destruction of the environment, but coal companies have kept these people enslaved so long, it is all they have. I look for answers and fight the best I can but it is way bigger than me. People have all but given up. Our midterm election was last week and we had like 18% turn out of registered voters. I want my photography spark back. I hope to do some kind of blog or photojournalism like thing to inspire and educate folks around here. My spark was stomped out. I didn't think it was possible, but it was. I'm hoping to find it again. They made a movie about my area. It cost a couple bucks to watch but it is the reality here. It has great film work and hits the heart of the problem. I was amazed someone could come from New York and capture the essence of everything so well. I have been through this little town many times and couldn't come near the job they did with this movie. It may be free some places on the net now. I'm not sure. This will take you to the trailer. http://www.oxyana.com/ May 18 14 02:54 pm Link *waves* Its been a long time! May 20 14 07:42 pm Link Bombadil wrote: are you calling us old?
