Thanks, NTC. I'm half-way through Mississippi at the moment. I'm just listening to music, watching the beautiful scenery, and typing on my laptop. Traveling has never been easier. The only problem is that on this wireless connection everything is really slow, so it takes me 10-15 minutes to make a post. I just click "submit" and then distract myself with something else for a while so I don't sit there and get frustrated with how slow it is.

Yeah, but you've gotta have a positive outlook about it. It's not an end but rather a new beginning (I don't know if anyone else has already used that cliche in this thread yet, lol).
I love editing power. It's really pissing me off that on some other forums they don't let you edit your posts for some reason. I always have typos.
Speaking of how beautiful Mississippi is, does anyone know what those tall skinny trees are? Like very tall, and not extremely thin, but like not as wide as a normal tree... I'm seeing a lot of those lining the highway.
If the South had more job opportunities and wasn't so economically depressed, I think people would flock to live here. It's breathtaking. The stereotypical southerner is annoying, but you find out that not everyone down here is like that quick. Like, I'm from Detroit, my best friend is from Memphis originally, and we both have the same sorta hippie personality. You're going to have all sorts of personalities wherever you go.
AAU, those were good times. The thing I loved about AAU ball was that it gave me a chance to play against some big name guys who were going to go on and do big things, even though I was nowhere near their level. I mean, I've played guys like Tyler Smith, Derrick Byars, Shawne Williams, Monta Ellis, Marc Gasol, Thad Young, etc.; the list just goes on, and I'm nowhere near as good as they are, I just got a roster spot on an elite team and coattailed into tournaments where all these big name guys were playing.
Sorry for the long post, but well, it's a six hour bus ride.
