I work for USFS, Forest FireFighter in the summer and odd USFS jobs in the winterNapsterX

that's cool! i want to try and get on with the Forest Service as a Type 1 Firefighter for a couple seasons after i finish high school, which district you work on?  

I'm a Farmer and a Firefighter

one time i was talking to my dad and he was half asleep and out of nowhere he just opened his eyes and said "yeah? you think we have it bad you should see lot's wife!!" (lot is from the bible, his wife was turned into a pillar of salt)

my ideal car...my dream car would be a restored 1956 F100 pickup or a two tone (black on top and dark grey on bottom) Chevy S10 with a 2 inch drop kit, air bags, bucket seats and a kickin' alpine or kenwood stereo system..lol

that would be freakin sweet... 

Sometimes i help clean house...because where i live whenever it storms there is usually a chance of tornados and alot of the time when bad weather is coming the whole community comes to our house (we have a storm room in our basement lol). i'm also a volunteer firefighter so sometimes if a tree blows powerlines down or if trees fall in the road i help clean up and stuff like that..

i also like to go storm chasing...here's the links to some storm vids i've shot.

In a way i kinda agree with your dad....you do need to enjoy being young, but on the other hand you can get alot of good experience from working, ever since i was small i've worked on the farm and right now at 17 i've done a little bit of everything....i've worked in sawmills, on hunting plantations, built houses, fought fire and farmed...and i missed out on some parts of being a kid...but i gained alot of experience.  but remember you have your whole life to work so i wouldn't rush into it..

the choice is yours though.

I'm from the South (born in Alabama and grew up on a cattle farm) and i can say i talk with a very Southern accent....Southern people use a completley different set of words than yankees (aka northerners lol)

If you ever visit the South you can expect to hear the following...

-Y'all, We say this word like there is no tomorrow...it comes up in alot of sentances and is a way of saying "You All", it is used to address more than one person, Or if your talking to someone from a different family it can be used to inquire about that persons family. ie. "Hey Bill! long time no see! how have yall been?"

 

- Over Yonder, also pronounced as "Over Yunder" or "Ova-Yawn Duh" Very complex in it's meaning...it's used as a 5th direction (in addition to North, South, East and West) it can refer to something across a short distance ie. "haha look over yunder at that yellow car...that's a ugly lookin car ain'it?" or something across town ie. "that new restraunt is over yunder by pete's gas station"

 

-Fixin' To, If you have never been to th South you prolly have no idea what that means....it means you are about to do something or go somewhere. ie. "I'm fixin to head over to Sally's"

 

-Coke, ANY kind of soft drink...when you go to a restraunt and the waitress asks what you want to drink if you say "Coke" they will either bring you a Coke or a Pepsi or some drink similar to a Coke.

 

-Cattywampus, something that ain't sitting straight...it's crooked. ie. "that picture over yunder on that wall is a might cattywampus...i best straightin it"

 

-Fetch, to retrive something, ie. "Johnny, fetch me that there hammer."

 

anyway the list goes on...but in short, Southern people ain't stupid and they all aren't racist, there is just as much (if not more) racism up north.
