I bet we could if we tried hard!!!!!!!:grinpimp::grinpimp:

who says we can't? I blame everything on w even at the house with my wife. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the girls you know from NYC kept trying to be my friend on Facebook. I was like I dont know you and I don't want to be your friend

LOL, she added my mom the other day.

Crazy ex?

Man, shes from Madrid and from the beginning i told her that i had just gotten out of a relationship and wasnt looking to get into another one and she said she was "cool" with that. Obviously her English wasnt up to par :shaking:

When i left she had a total melt down, added all my friends on facebook and sent them crazy messages like "He left a bunch of clothes here and i need to send them to him. Can i please have his address?"

I sure did learn a lot about women in my 2 years up there:work:

I was the exact same at 26. I spent a lot of time in South America though. Venezuela was pretty cool but Aruba and Colombia will always be a dear place in my heart....

Today, over 6 years later, I love my "grounded" life! I have the "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" mentality I guess. That being said, I love my southern life!

I would never have guessed that about you....

I've lived up in oklahoma and in the pan handle of Texas while rodeoing in college and never doubted that I would be back in my home state. People are fascinatined by the south and I would never live anyplace else. I've traveled to many states but nothing compares to living down here. Les la Bon to roulie or however you spell that!!

Amen my cajun friends. Nothing like the south!!!

Really?!

Man, I wasn't living nearly like I am now, then. I bought my house sometime in 06 but, it was a way of a tax write off and a place to pass out @ 6 am! It's a wonder my"southern" living didn't kill me!

Again, I love my Sundays in the South now. The rest is out of my system.

you just jumped about 10 points cooler in my book! Man I would kill to live in Columbia or Aruba for a little while. What did you do for work while you were down there?

kinda figure why i need to drive over 50 miles plenty to fish and hunt rite here born deep south and prode of it

Only 10 points cooler?! LOL! I went to Aruba a couple of times to work when Valero owned a plant down there. It belongs to a Brazilian company now(A place I never went but, always wanted to!) and, they don't use too many American co's.:cry: I went to Colombia twice. Once was for work, the next time was for vacation. It's a great place to visit! I spent 8 days in Medellin the last time I went. I spent a whopping $500 for the whole week and ate at the finest restaraunts and partied at the baddest clubs! It's cheap to visit and a visit one will never forget!:work:

Venezuela...SUCKS now, thanks to Hugo Chavez! I'd never touch foot in that country again so long as that man is alive! It's BAD down there for Americans now days! Also, Trinidad and St. Croix...You can keep them too! They just aren't great places to be. St. Croix makes New Orleans look like a dream getaway. That being said, there is plenty of work on both islands and they use a lot of American contractors.

Drop me a line and, I'd be glad to give you the ins and outs of ColOmbia. It's a pretty simple place, really and, living is pretty inexpensive. I actually had it figured up to where I could come to the US and work turnarounds about 4 months a year and live the other 8 down there, modestly but also comfortably.

Just remember that although working overseas sounds great and is a great way to see places that you might not ever see otherwise, unless you are supervision you may be living in a man camp surrounded by concertina wire and armed guards. ( Sound like prison???) many places Americans are not the most favorite folks around. and these actions are to keep you from getting robbed and / or killed.
If you can handle it and will sign up for a year flat you can come home w/ well into the 6 figure range in your pocket ,Tax free. But it ain't for everyone.

Asterisk-Rich if you want to travel I can put you in contact with a company my stepdad works for, him and my moms in Australia right now.... been there 1 yr and before they were in Trinidad 1 yr and spent 1 yr in a differnt part of Australia and been to Newfoundland
