Dont go.

Florida eats old people.

Yes, but really that is more of a result of the high amount of people here as opposed to more people here being partiers.

When people talk about schools and parties, they're refering to half naked girls with short skirts and no panties dancing on tables and people getting drunker than should be humanly possible.

Not the type of "parties" you're used to attending, which usually just involve a dozen uncouthed fat guys who haven't bathed in days crowded around computers playing Counterstrike.

Where are our goddamn hurricanes?!?! I seriously love having them. In all honesty though, it's a good thing for the state as a whole to not have a hurricane.

Did you go to the big cat animal rescue in Tampa? (I've been there once before, it was amazing)

nope. i could have gone to a zoo in boston if i wanted - besides, that sounds a bit too mushy for me, at least in the mood i was in.

no, I wanted to go searching for gators - something fun that I could really only do while I was in the area. I hoped on an airboat, and was told I "might" see a gator or two. We saw four. One of them was curious enough to bump itself against the side of the boat, but not brave enough to jump onboard (all the best for us, I say) - I took pictures, but it was on a disposable camrea. I'm probably going to get it developed on saturday. I didn't get a picture of the one that wandered up by shore after the tour - though i was at least thinking of an escape route if the thing came towards us, which it didn't (it was mid-day).

After the tour was done, they said all locals got a free year pass. That was nice of them - very cool. The woman said we should also check out downstairs before we head out. I figured "downstairs" meant a gift shop or something. Instead "downstairs"had progressively cooler things, starting with turtles and baby crocks.... all the way to the cats in the picture. The area was taking care of them. The cats were trained three things - to get used to being on a leash, not to bite at people, and not to claw at people. That's pretty much it. The only potential problem is that they might grow to be 600lbs and want to sit on your lap. They were far too cute.

I guess they had the mentality to promise very little and overdeliver.... it was a good tactic, becuase they continually impressed me.

The whole trip was like that. Everyone went out of their way to make sure I had a good time. After the tour I went to a chiense/japanese place to grab some canch (I forgot to ask about the alagator tail while I was there), then a couple took us out in their boat as the moon lit the waters. There are some amazing 20+million dollar homes there. The view was relaxing and amazing. I was laying down on a leather couch in the front of the boat staring at the clear sky with the warm wind blowing in my face.

The whole trip was packed.

Gator tail is ok...

You can find Gators everywhere... from Ocala south it seems. about 2 years ago I hit one with my car on the way home from work. It sucked a while bunch of ass.

The big cat animal rescue is not as mushy as it seems. I got to feed a fucking florida panther steak when I was there. It was so awesome. Most of the time you have to get "Invited" or know someone there.

Its weird for a place right in the middle of a busy bustling city type area with a mall... Then you go down a small side road and come out into a paradise of animals and such.

But glad you had fun. As much as I hate this state as a place to live... the wildlife is amazing here. And quite delicious!

A few months back, there supposedly was a 12 foot gator that wandered onto the road on the way I take to work every morning. Got clipped or ran over a few times without injury, just made it very pissed off. Firefighters had to come and use one of their hoses to push the gator off the road with water.

This was all an hour before I headed to work though.
