25, done a mess of everything infantry, mechanical, fabrication, IT, building/repairing computers, retail, running my own disposal buisness, landscaping, lumber work (fell/recover downed trees, process and sell as firewood), winter campsite caretaker, and can't figure out what I want to do with my life. No woman (got enough **** of my own to deal with right now), 1 dog (14 year old s.hitzu(really filter?)/terrier cross, family dog, was told to take care of it or they would put her down, still acts like a puppy).

Come on guys, your making me feel old!
Deal with it, you ARE old and getting older really, really quick. Besides, it's not the age, it's the miles. Sometimes high life miles can mess with a guy pretty bad. My philosophy is just don't sweat the small stuff and do what you need with the rest.

Just having some fun with you Fordranchero!

24, still single, I am a Systems Administrator for an anime company. Worked in several industries, started bringing home a pay check every week at age 14. I could buy a new truck but I don't like electronics in my vehicles, nor do I prefer a car payment. I live in a small apartment packed with truck parts, furniture, and the rest of my crap. If BOA will ever stop ruining my credit, I would really like to buy a house and land in the country; get back to my roots.
