RedHeads


You would think that Ireland would be the country of the most redheads, but with a quick look on the Internet, you will see it is actually Scotland. Me I'm Scott-Irish, but I missed being a redhead. Instead I was really blond until I was a teenager and my hair started going towards that dirty blond color which started up my use of Sun In. Yes, covering my hair with peroxide while out on the water or laying in the backyard getting some rays. I would always end up with a few red pieces. It wasn't until later in my life that I deliberately became a redhead. A feisty, kick ass REDHEAD! (It looked good in film and video too)

One of my first major crushes was a really well built broad shouldered redhead named Brent that accompanied me and my family to Panama City, FL for the celebration of my 13th birthday. I'm not sure what happened to Brent, but it would be interesting to see him again. But lately, I've been hooked on Shawn White. There's just something about him. He's funny. He's full of energy. He's a GREAT Snowboarder. He seems to know no fear, and he seems to to be pretty well together. Not a real bad boy, just one of those jocks that is also pretty straightforward. YUMMY.

I had my favorite redhead, back in high school: C.L.
Every weekend my girls and I had this place we would go hang out where we could play pool and look at boys, and their cars. I was in the drag racing crowd, so our boys had Cobras, and all manner of muscle cars and old cars, rebuilt and reclassified. The Cobras were the fastest cars we were familiar with, but then a couple of corvettes got in the mix. C. L. would almost always show
up, with his BLUE CORVETTE.

But, he always had an entourage of boys around him, and he was laughing and seemingly having a good time. I was hooked up with someone, so I watched from afar. From time to time our eyes did meet. I just wanted him to know I was watching him. Aside from his personality, the other part of C.L. that made him cool, was that corvette! C.L. always kept his corvette looking good and running good, and, not too many boys in our little town felt they could afford a corvette.

It turns out that he chose Charleston, S.C. as his port of choice. Moved there and became a successful Commercial Real Estate Developer. He is still very funny, very personable, happy, good looking, a little cocky and has many more vets, that are much more expensive!
Oh, and, It turns out he did indeed notice me back in high school...*sigh*
