Where I Come From

Up until I was about 8 I did not know neighborhoods existed or what they were. Why you ask. Because I was blessed to grow up on a whomping 160 acres thanks to my granddad. I thought everyone lived on a lot of land with family surrounding them. I loved being able to do what I pleased and be as loud as I wanted without worrying about what neighbors thought. My brothers and I spent hours out in the woods creating forts or playing army. Or even better sliding down a mud bank in to the creek. With both of my grandparents gone now the land is up for grabs. Who knows how much longer we will have it so with that in mind I decided to take pictures and make a collage type thing for my mom and aunt for Christmas. So here is a small glimpse in to my world as a kid.

How awesome are these rolling hills?

This is where we go to the top of the hill that over looks the pond and hit golf balls up torward the house.-->

Baseball Season is Here







I love baseball. I love watching the game; sitting in the stands or out on a blanket. To me it does not get much better. Last night I went to my first game a Mississippi State and quickly fell in love. The atmosphere is amazing. But the coolest thing is the Left Field Lounge.
It started in the 1960's in which people would drive their cars up and grill out then after the game leave. However one night a truck would not start so it was left there and ended up "reserving" the owner a spot for the next game. Well now when you look in the outfield you see old mail and milk trucks with bleachers on top of them, old bus seats on risers to create stadium seating, and other odd but cool ways people set up their area. It is so popular there is a waiting list to get a spot in the outfield. To read more about the Left Field Lounge you can check it out here http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/index.php/site/comments/out_in_left_field/. Here also is a picture of what some of the vehicles look like parked in the Left Field Lounge.

Hola!!!

Hellooooo blog world. My basic reason to conform to this is to keep up with friends blogs. However I am sure I will find pointless things to write about and bore you. Such topics may include the books I am reading, what I am learning, the craziness of school, the recent buildings I have found roof access to, and a running tally on jumbo tron climbs. So get excited people!
