I'm glad I put Hudson Hawk on my to-watch list last night, still one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies.

On another note, I seem to have run out of things to do.

My social lifestyle? Wow you're funny. My wife works and I "take care" of the apartment, not that an apartment needs that much taking care of, so I sit here alone 8-10 hours a day, then I hang out with my wife for a few hours after she gets home, then it's usually bed. Rinse and repeat, except on the weekends, when my wife and I hang out all night. Not in that TV show way, but in that very comfortable, real married couples way, then it's back to the grind.

I have a guy staying here right now, he was roomed with his brother and with his student loan payments wasn't able to find his own place in time when his brother joined the army that I see for about 10 minutes before he goes to bed. I sometimes invite people to come over but no one ever does. I'm not very good socially, my humor is off and I'm not really into things most people are so I find myself making jokes that make people uncomfortable and having nothing to talk about within a few minutes.

So there you have it, my social lifestyle is basically that of an outcast, but at least I have a wife that loves me...she even finds the wife-beating jokes funny.

Sometimes all it takes is one person, one person to understand you and appreciate you for who you are.

I think it's a cultural thing more than anything else, really. I'm Southern, I still hold onto things that most people around here have disregarded a long time ago, like the concepts of honesty, honor, and loyalty. I know I'm crazy and I'm fine with that, I know people don't get me and I'm fine with that...but I'm not like, how to say it?

I don't mind certain people, I even like certain people...but I feel like 90% of the population aren't worth the breath it takes to sustain their bodies.

I like going out, I like doing things...but I can't stand the general public. The people who I hear talking to the idiot standing next to them about what's so wrong with me, or the racist asshats I hear talking shit about how I married a mixed-race woman (they never use so polite a term, though). I thought I was leaving behind ignorance and hate when I left the South, but all I did was find a new class of fucking morons and to be quite honest, I just gave up.

My wife's been trying to convince me that there's people like me, and on this forum I've found many people who I believe would make awesome company, but I also don't really know any of you. I don't concern myself with keeping up appearances, I don't concern myself with watching what I say, I just am who and what I am, and I just don't really fit in with most people, so I do what makes the most sense - I stay away from them. I'm not going to change to fit in, too many times in my youth I caved to what others wanted or expected of me and I was miserable, now I remain true to who I am and yeah, it hasn't won me many friends, maybe I'm not the guy to have them, but when I do die, I won't look back and regret it, because I was honest, not just with myself but with the world, that I stood by the principals I believed in, and that I did not bow to pressure to be "normal".

Here, this bit by Henley I think explains my stand on the world as it is now.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

It was amazing. We went fishing on this river that skirts the base of an active volcano. well as you can imagine the marine life gets HUGE because there is so much yummy shit swirlin around in that murky water. Im talkin 3-5 KILOS for Chinook Salmon; whole stringer worth. Seriously after a while you just throw em back for fun.

Unfortunately when we were there, the volcano was a little too active and the water was too warm for the big'uns. We still caught our limit tho. You dont hear me complainin, thats all im saying.

As my memory serves me what, what we mostly caught was trout. I think gramps may have picked up a bass or two..

You might enjoy watching the River Monsters series that this guy named Jeremy Wade does. He catches some really awesome fish, but it's not like...a bassmasters type show, it's more educational than all that, and he tends to go after fish considered dangerous.
