Get this thing started!

While looking at friends' blogs, I decided to start my own. This is day one.

I lounged on a pontoon boat today on Lake Murray, South Carolina. It was a beautiful morning. We arrived at the marina just past 9 a.m., loaded our blown up floaties, and began the nice on day on the water. My brother, Brad, Mom and Dad and I were out today. I enjoyed some classic rock with my dad while we anchored at an uninhabited island in the middle of the lake. It was cool chilling with him and talking about the ins and outs of his classic rock days. Artists like Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, T-Rex, and Phil Collins were on our minds. I recall that I said, "man I wish I was alive in the 70s, then I would enjoy the concerts of the originals that day." The water was a cool relief to the hot day, when it topped about 95 with no mercy.

This is the beginning of a new stage in my life, I can feel it. Past the hard partying times, idiots, and times of stressing out. I'm carefree now and I'm loving every minute of it. There's so much to look forward to this year: graduating from college, getting a real job, possibly more world travelling (I spent 6 weeks this summer in Ireland, England and Scotland.) Stay tuned.
