small town of Oswego, Ks on a farm (farm girl meets farm boy...lol. omg, little dragon, don't kill me! that was just a joke!) but would i go visit it again? seeing how my family is still there, and i'm not completely moved out...um, yeah. (in college)
Hi. Just a quick correction...you aren't in Arkansas City, Kansas in this film. You're in Geuda Springs, Kansas. That whole place looks like a horrible nightmare. Not even remotely as beautiful as when we were kids. Love you, miss you.
Just wanted to say... That's sad. ;( I think most can relate. I live about 6 hours from there. But I am still in my hometown. West Plains Missouri. Anyways glad to see you are doing better.
I GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN CALLED MIDDLEBURG FL south of jacksonville fl by 45 mins of driving i did go back in '06 but i would deff go back again in later years. i did like the one change they had had from the time i left to the time i came back PAVED ROADS lmao i loved the dirt roads tho when the torrential downpours occured i hated that
Mostly lived at my Grandparents house, it had a Huge backyard, a Garage a Mini house where my Great grandmother lived. (She died six years ago) :(. But the house was a Two story and it's where my Mother and my Aunts grew up living in, I hope to one day go back to there if i ever get out of Texas. And buy that home.
I moved a lot growing up, so at various times I've revisited various places where I lived for a little while, but there really isn't a place I can call "the place I grew up".
I grew up in Brookfield Massachusetts. I lived there until I was 4 then the house burned down because of our 8 year old neighbor. Then we moved to Ware where I spent years 4-7. My brother and I would climb the same tree everyday until he decided to climb to the top then he fell, broke both his legs and fractured his left arm so we moved to Warren were I lived until 18 then I moved out. And now live in Rhode Island. xD
I grew up in a 3 story apartment type thing, only 3 houses in it, parts of my family lived there, 10 years there :D and fuck yeah I'd go back there if I ever get the chance.
If I visited every house that I lived in growing up, I would have to go to about 30 different houses, and 2 of those have been torn down since I lived in them. My family moved a lot, for various reasons, until I was about 16.
Born in bergen in norway then when 2 years old moved to switserland (dont know how to spell it ( sveits in norwegian though)) then we moved back to norway ånd lived happily watching youre videos.!
Many things. One, you should buy it, repair it, and maybe rent it or something if not move into it. Two,like the beard, keep it. And three, my first home was about a mile from where I now live and sometimes I do get to visit it but I'm 14 and so still growing.
was the only room that looked like they took care of was his sisters room! and i like it but who actually owns it now.... and born and still lives in chicago :D
Alexandria, VA for the first four years and all I remember is how hanted it was and that the creature from the Fly lived under my bed :D Yes, I would love to go back and see if there was or was not a closet at the bottom of the stairway (to long of a story to comment). Spent from 1975 - 1998 in Dale City, VA; talk about watching a place grow. Happy 2011, James and family :)
Aww.. that was sweet, even though it was sad that people left it like that. The first home that I can remember is on Dawning Lane in Douglasville, Georgia. A few years ago, my uncle drove us by there, nearly 25 years after we had left it. The house and the yard around it were much smaller than I remember, and it was just plain weird to be back there. We didn't get to go in, but still, it felt like something from another lifetime, ya know? Love and a Happy New Year to you, James! :)
@b4life55 nope valdese,nc is very small it only a long mile town in town and I say about 5 miles all round plus too the most boring town ever I know all to well about that I lived there most of my life in that hick town
I spent the first 9 years my life in this giant, very old but beautiful house. I still live in the same city, so I still see the house once in a while, but I haven't seen the inside in a while... I wonder what the new owners have changed...
The house I spent my childhood in is in GA-- no I wouldn't visit that house. I would do however, go home to GA whenever the military lets my DH have leave.
My Dad was (and still is) in the army so we moved around alot, the longest ive ever lived somewhere was 3 years in Wiltshire England. I now live in spennymoor, England ^^
My father was a gypsy/hippie. So I spent my young years packing and moving. We didn't get our family home till i was 16. I go back there all the time to see mom and dad. Its beautiful and worth the wait. my soon to be husband and I are making up plans to build our own home on the land, I may have loved moving and meeting and experiencing but I also missed having a "place" to call home. For me home was were my family was. I want to give my children both family and stability.
My parents still live in the house I grew up in so I go see it all the time! its a neat two bedroom house that my dad helped my grandpa build when grandpa got remarried. We moved into in when I was about a year old and my grandparents moved into town before that we lived in a little trailor house across the rd.
I lived in the same house from 4mos to 24 years. My family still owns it, though both my parents passed away (Mom 2 years ago, Dad this year), and my sisters and I have decided to sell it, keeping a promise to our parents not to fight over it after they were gone. Not going to be easy, but we'll get through it. Maybe someday after it's sold, I'll want to revisit it. Right now, it's just a chore to clean up and clean out.
Noticed you mentioned about your tattoos. I'm kinda an ink freak myself and love to look at other people's art. I would love if you could take a video of your tattoos and post it on YT.
Wow, that's where you grew up? That's amazing :) I love seeing things that have meaning to people, it's part of the reason I want to be a photographer :)
James@War Jr. ..awe! If your family owns that big property? They can fix it up and really make a lot of money. You can't go wrong --when you own land. I have no childhood home! I moved 18 times...
i grew up i a REALLY BIG trailer. i spent most of my time watching peter pan ,playing with LEGOs and tieing ridiculously complex knots and try to get people to untie them lol i`d probable go back if i could
Why is Children of Bodom in this videos tags? o_O
