Hey Daisy...how is it going? Hope all is well.
Not a whole lot is going on here...which is good, I spose.
how about you? -
Lori...tell Lori that Garrett is sorry to hold her up! It is very uninentional!
As for the story, you can take your time. I don't know when I'll be on next. Sorry to make you wait so long. Hope all is going well.

Once again...I'm sorry to you all for not being on! I've been busy watching my neice this weekend so I haven't been able to be on. Probably won't be on for a while either. I hope all is going well for you all. Sorry for the wait!

Lori! *impatient look* I have been gone for a whole week and yet you have NOT added a single word to our story! What are you waiting for? An invitation? Well, you are now formally invited to add to our story!
LOL - you do know I am jokin' right? Garrett made me do it! Khee...what you know? Garrett is good for something.

Well, I really didn't mean Alan Jackson or any of the other artists as being new, new. Just that they are still currently making music and they play their music on the radio stations. Most of my favorites of the newer Country have been out for a while. Toby has been out for around fifteen years, all Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, and Tim McGraw has been making music for several years now. I guess I should have clarified myself a little better. Alan Jackson has been performing/singing Country for like twenty or so years, so he is definately not brand new to the scene...though if y'all wanna hear something sad. (I may have said it before, I'm not sure) They turned Alan Jackson away when he had first came to Nashville to be a singer...said he was too country! I also have to correct myself...again. I do like Toby Keith and most of his music, like his new song that he currently has out (can't think of the title). There has just been a couple of his songs within the past couple of years that I haven't been too big of a fan of. You are lucky...I don't think we have any stations like that. The only ones I am aware of only or mainly play the newer stuff. Sunday nights they have two hours for retro country which is for the older stuff - but I never get to listen to it. I am usually busy.

You're not the only one that likes them! Thanks to my sister, I have their album and do enjoy the songs that are on it. I am glad to hear Country playing them - they sound good together!

Dixie_Nachelle01 - Don't be sorry for sharing this info with us. I appreciate hearing any Duke related news out there. Even the bad, though I would much rather hear the positive and happy news about them. As for Tom's punishment, it does seem kinda lenient (Sp?) especially for someone who should have money. But other than that, I don't know how the law works with any sort of thing like that. Maybe it goes by how many offenses you have in that charge...kinda like a DUI where the third one they take the license. Or something like that - so maybe the fine or punishment gets heavier with each offense. I don't know...but it does seem kind of lenient. Hopefully the punishment he has receieved, with prayers and help, he will be awaken with the reality of the bad choice he has made and will seek help. My prayers and thoughts are with Tom as he faces this battle, that he may see through his ways and find the help that he needs to recover.

Sorry Lori and Daisy - my new computer isn't capatable with my internet provider. It keeps saying I am missing a file and I don't know how to fix it. So until I do, the only times I'll be able to be on is during the weekends - and that's only if I have time to get on. I'm really sorry to keep both of you hanging!
I'd love to RP with both of you when I do get the chance. I don't know if this weekend or weekend I'll be able to. I am watching my neice next weekend and going on a small trip next weekend. So...
I guess the next time I see you on I'll try to send you a message or you do the same with me! Hopefully by then, I'll figure something out with my computer!

That is sad...and surprising. I never had anything like that happen before, but a long while ago, I had called in requesting Waylon's "Good Ol' Boys" (You know, you can never have enough Waylon. My opinion) and they didn't have that song. I found it kinda ironic because a couple of years after that when Waylon had died...I was living in Oklahoma at this time. . . my sister heard "Good Ol' Boys" on her radio station and she listens to rock! I am back to where I once lived and I do believe I heard them play that song once on the radio, so they must've gotten it along the way or they just didn't feel like playing it back then. Who knows. . . I wouldn't mind a little mix of the two. Oldies and the current songs. Well some of them. I like Kenny Chesney, Keith Uban, Tim McGraw, and Alan Jackson. I also like Toby Keith, but am not a big fan of the last couple of songs he has gotten out. But I agree...I think Country should play some of the older stuff as well. I get excited when I hear the older stuff on the radio. Like today on my way home from work, I turned onto the country station to get the last part of Eddie Rabbit's "I love a Rainy Day" I love that song!

Hey - I'm in chat if you wanna chat. There is already two others in there, but if you want a private chat, we can do that too. If not, that's ok...just thought I'd let you know!
-
LOL...glad to be back. I think I may have found something to help my internet at my apartment. *crosses fingers* hopefully it will work.
Have a good day tomorrow - keep out of trouble. -
Not very much. I need to get to bed since I will be...regretfully waking up early tomorrow morning. LOL. I will try to send her info to you after work tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps we'll catch up sometime.
-
Hey...where you want me to send you the info of Mickey at? That is if you do want her. I don't want you to think I am trying to push her off onto you. It was just an idea. So if you don't want her, there is no hard feelings or anything.

First off...I am not here to judge Tom and the choices he has made. We all make bad choices in our lives that we later have to face or regret doing...at least I know I have. The difference is, is that Tom and the rest of celebrities has the whole world watching them and judging their action. It is great to learn all you can about your favorite celebrities out there, but sometimes the media takes it too far. They are people just like everyone else and deserve to have their own privacy and lives for themselves. At the same time, celebrities should keep it in mind when they do things that "everyone" is going to find out if you are caught with anything you shouldn't have or do anything you shouldn't do. That people / kids do look up to them. Being a Duke fan...I have to admit, like most shows I watch or follow, it is hard to see past the character. I mean, I think of Tom...I think of Luke. Say John Schneider, I think Bo. And so on. . .people find it hard to see past their well played and well known characters to see that it is Tom's bad choice and not Luke's. I agree with what was said earlier on in this thread by someone...the characters on the show are made to look perfect in most ways, they are well written for and well acted for. The actors/actresses on the show are human and make mistakes of their own. I for one was surprised to read the little that I did read about Tom and what he got caught with. Hopefully it all is just a really bad rumor, if not, I hope he recieves the help, support, and the prayers that he needs and deserves. Well there is my unasked for opinion about the topic. . .
-
*pokes Lori* Hey guess what!
I posted to our story...I hope you like it. I hope I am not getting too repetitive with my emotions/thoughts. If so, tell me! Sometimes I feel like I take my characters around in circles.
Anyway...sorry for the wait. I hope you like it!
-
That's a bummer Lori. Are you alright? I hope so...I bet that was scary.
YAY...Mickey may be coming back to life. LOL. Where do you want me to send her description to you?

Garrett Duke replied to Garrett Duke's topic in Story Ideas/Fics In Progress/Collaborative Efforts
Watching his troubled uncle, guilt swarms heavily through Bo's exhausted body as he struggles with the thoughts and emotions that seems to have a tight control over him. Guilt at the worry and fear that he had installed within his aging uncle by telling him the truth. The truth he had been threatened not to tell anyone. And now that he has, the heavy consequences to his actions looms heavily ahead of him. Bo gulps heavily as his imagination vividly grabs a tight hold over him, imagining vivid scenes of watching Luke get tortured to death. Of the blood that is lost and of the pain and fear that Luke would endure within the past few moments of his life. "No, no," Bo hears himself mumbling as fear once again washes over him at the thought of his consequences. A large bound of emptiness quickly seems to grow within him at the thought of a life without his cousin there. He has always had his older cousin to turn to for help with the large exception of when he had went off to boot camp and off to war. And now once again he no longer has him in his life to turn to; to talk to or to ask for help. But now he may never have Luke to turn to now that he has done the unspeakable and has told the truth about Paul. If only I could ask Luke for help, he'd know what to do. Bo takes a deep breath as the thoughts and questions roll through him, silently telling himself to shut-up. It is too late, nothing he can do now but to prepare for the worse. "How. . .how can you promise that?" Bo stutters, looking up at his uncle for the first time as he feels another tear melt down his cheek, "Especially now that I told someone." Bo pauses, continuing to fight the emotions within himself. "I. . .I just might have gotten Luke killed." -
Hey Lori - Thanks for another great post! Uncle Jesse seems to be soooo alive in your posts with the emotions you give him. You made me want to give him a hug!
I am sorry that I haven't posted anything. I have finally got moved back into my apartment to find out that my new computer isn't accesable with my internet provider. Hmmm what to do now. I don't know, but I'll have to figure something out. Hopefully I will be able to add something soon. Sorry to leave you hangin' like this!

My all time favorite movie is the first Smokey and the Bandit, so I'd have to say that my favorite Burt Reynolds' movie would be the first Smokey and the Bandit. I'll admit that I thought teh beginning of the second movie was funny, but other than that, I didn't like it at all. I thought I could have thought of a better plot than that...all that of my opinion of course.
-
OK Lori...I also have to apologize to you. My last post was wayyyyyyyyy long. I even split the post into three different posts. I am sorry it is so long. What can I say? Bo was very alive for me tonight as we Jesse.
ONce again, good luck with your computer. Hope to see you back soon.
