Since I already posted a bit on my planned Feb. trip to Italy, I figured I might as well peep over here.

Name's Josh...recent college grad and now treading water as I wait for rescue in the wonderful sea of potential jobs and careers. Paying the bills is a foremost concern of course, and let's not mention the upcoming loan payments.

Anyhoo, I've travelled a lot when I was younger..my family was Air Force..so I've been quite a few places before I was even 18...Turkey, Germany, Kenya, Israel, England, Italy. Unfortunately, since I did that all so long ago, I don't remember much of it. So I've got a nice mental list of places I must return to as an adult (technically speaking).

My passion is writing, and I hope to somehow blend that with my travels, perhaps doing research on the places I go to and find a travel magazine that would take interest in an article or two when I come home. My philosophy is that once you stop moving around in this world, things become far too familiar and you aren't as motivated to learn and grow.

Aside from writing, I love to read (of course), martial arts
and my kitty, Muse.

Great to meet you all...


Josh

^ oh don't be jealous, babe!

drunks are just so run of the mill these days. who cares? sad to say but it's very rare to find a literate young man around. he's upping his date-ability factor with the best of the best, man.

A sex addict, Chris? What a coincidence.

I...know someone named Chris who is addicted to sex too. Yes. That's it.

And readability ups my dating eligibility? Wow. So mom was right all these years. No wonder she locked me in my room with stacks of books and only let me out when the moon was full.

Well, maybe she had other reasons than that.

Welcome to the boards!!! You might want to check out the T-punk book club we've got going. I must admit however, I'm a little behind on the assigned books for oh...let's say...the past 3 months.

Welcome to the world of smartasses... or maybe just asses? Anyhow, your goals sound awesome. Keep a journal as you go along and make entries about everything. Good way to write and keep track of a lot of those feelings and memories. I read through mine and am like "Oh yeah!!"

It's not right I tells ya, I'd just managed to train the monkeys to make a pot of tea without scawlding the hamsters. If I let the three collies go I know they'll end up back on crack, I just know it.
