So, as many of you may (or may not know) it's been close to 5 years since I've been around here!
I have been living my life in the real world, and maturing quite a bit in nearly 5 years.
The last 4 years of my life have been uneventful. Got a new car, been through a couple of jobs, and just enjoying life. However, my life took an exciting turn about 8 months ago.
I was sitting at home on my day off (I lived in Jacksonville, AR as you may or may not know), and I was watching tv. And for years now, I have been madly in love with all things Disney. Not just their parks, movies, and music, but their ideals also.
The morals that the company was founded on, and is still run on are inspiring. Tolerance, diversity, love, and respect for everyone is just wonderful. Everyone is equal in te companies eyes. Here is a poster that they have hanging up backstage in alot of places around Walt Disney World:
"It seems we humans tend to focus on the differences between us. Whether we are old, young, male, female, straight, gay, Christian, Jew, handicapped, healthy, rich, poor, black, brown, red, yellow, or white, we all want our rights, and we all want to be heard. Point a gun at us and we know fear. Pull the trigger and we die. We cry the same tears when we loose a loved one. If we are fortunate enough to avoid disease, war, famine, accidents, drugs, and violence, we will grow old and die. Life is short. Don't waste it in hate. Fight the problems we all face, not each other." - Author Unknown
I think this is beautiful. So, back to my story.
As I said, I was sitting at home, and wondering why I was making excises and why I don't just go, and chase after my dream!
So, while sitting the chair watching tv, I called mt boss up, quit my job, packed everything I owned, and with $70 to my name, I headed down to Orlando, Florida with just me and my dream. And i got hired at Walt Disney World shortly after that, and I've been making magic at Disney ever since

I haven't regretted my choice to come down for a second, and I'd do it all over again given the chance!
I now currently working at Big Thunder Mountain in Frontierland, located inside the Magic Kingdom, and having a blast at work every single day! I feel so fulfilled at the end of every day, knowing that I helped make someones day extra magical while visiting the most wonderful place on earth.

So thats pretty much what I've been up to; it's good to see you guys!
