Can Life Get Any Better?
 

So, I live up in the mountains. My house is situated on 16 acres. No neighbors anywhere in site. It's VERY quiet up here.

My driveway is almost half a mile long. It winds up my property to the house. If someone happens to decide to visit uninvited I can hear them coming.

Today I installed a wireless router. I have Direcway High Speed Satellite Access. This wireless router allows me to sit by the pool and surf the 'net on high speed.

Since I'm in the middle of nowhere I can sit completely naked if I want. I hate clothes.

Please tell me, does life get much better than this??

it must get boring after a while.:sleep

The only way it gets better is if you have tons of money and five wives

disregard last post.
I didn't fully read your post and thought you lived far away from civilization or something; but if you just have a big piece of property then I am bitterly jealouse:321GFY

Satellite internet is far from High Speed isn't it? So...yes, it can get better.

:321GFY

Nothing like the freedom to be naked and have no one complain about it.:thumbsup

I hear sattellite has come and is going a long way.

Cable used to suck, now it's far better than DSL.

Too bad you're sitting there alone and the nearest escort agency is three hours away. :glugglug

Post some pics. so we could be really jealous or are you just fantasizing?:)

Yes, it does get better.
...you could be in Maui.

Yes... Living in a co-ed dorm with a window 1 floor up and across from a really hot exhibitionist, a great bar next door, the world's best pizza in a shop built into the front of the building, good friends all around, and government money to pay for it all :)

Man, those were good times.

I get speeds almost as good as my DSL line in my office downtown.

You'll soon be seeing models posing naked here. Stick around. I post model photos frequently.

Stop that :P

Of course life can get better, I wont be a dick and say how though.

attitudes like this is what sets people up for tragedy.

complacency is the #1 thing that leads to problems.

I'm actually about 18.5 miles outside of town.

Been there. Done that. Got REALLY tired of it. I like the mountains much better.

Life can't get much better than this. It's so nice being up here. It does indeed make you want to stay home all the time, though.

do you own a fleshlight?

that would make life perfect:thumbsup

I have my girl up here with me. No fleshlight needed!

welcome :thumbsup

yes, living in chicago, my pool is a beach, my front yard is a yuppy bar zone.

And it gets REALLY cold in the winter. Nah, I'll stay right here, in the mountains. With only a short drive to my office, which is located right in downtown Chico within a few feet of the college. Chico State was the number 2 party school in the USA according to Playboy. Fallen from the number one spot just a few years ago.

Christ, I once had a place exactly like that minus the wireless router. To think I gave it up for some fuckhead and am now in the shithole of a place they call Atlantic City. :feels-hot

25 naked donny's

Okay but I rather see a long driveway, nice landscape and exquisite interior decorating when some one brags about their pad than seeing a naked chick.

BTW, I have seen your work?not very impress with your photography skills but the models are young and cute looking.

something about wireless internet and the freedom to conduct business anywhere anytime that makes me feel damn good :)

Yep, we get some nice girls and some ugly ones too.

And when the photography gets too good, my members complain. Seriously. When it stays "upper amateur" members stay.

Weird, I know.

At least 10 years ago now! I almost moved out to Cali because of that article. :Graucho

That's when they were number one. Just recently number 2. I believe it was just last year when the number 2 rating came out, and is still current. I think Santa Barbara is number 1.

Sounds niiiiiiiiiice.
I was eyeing some remote waterfront houses all afternoon today - I was out in the backwoods waterskiing on this perfect stretch of hidden river I discovered - mirror-like water no other boat traffic really, 82 degrees in the water, 25 feet from shore to shore...

Maybe i'll join you in your euphoria soon!

Understandable but why can't you show pics of your new pad? Most photographer forums? you got to back you bragging with a few pics.

So a photographer can?t post some pics of his new home without a naked coed?

Sounds good! I have tried several times to bring my laptop out to the pool area to bask in the sun while I get some work done...but for the life of me, no matter what I do (switch positions, put the umbrella up) I can't see the stupid screen. So much for that idea =(

I could post some photos... if I had them. But I haven't taken any decent photos of the place yet.

its gonna suck when you get ran over by a car

do you have an airplane and a yacht?

Does it rain there?

Does it snow there?

Yeah, it could be much better. I haven't seen snow in a dozen years and can't remember the last time it rained here.

Are you trying to say lack of rain and snow is a GOOD thing?

I love both of them. I love to have 4 seasons. The same thing over and over is fucking boring!

I guess life could get a little better after all. :)

Hmmm. Still trying to figure out what this has to do with anything I posted. Drawing a blank.

Can you imagine the problems with having five wives, don't think you would keep the money long. :1orglaugh

Put up some pics of your place.

Life would be better if I didn't have to imagine Donny naked.

And I have Satellite in Tahoe, it's lame. Latency is a bitch, but the speed is fast.

Donny naked isn't a good thought. :)

Do you have the 6000 series modem? I know you have DirecPC. The 6000 series does make a difference. It's still not perfect, of course, but is getting better. It's definitely not bad for those times I don't want to drive 30 minutes to the office to use DSL.

watch out for the beasts at night.
all alone with no wondering who may swoop down on your ass.

Ditto that, but sure there are those on the board that would luv to see Donny naked. There's a thought for a new site. You could be the next POV guy - naw.

I think today?s physics means that there will always be a latency problem with a satellite Internet connection. What about land based wireless? Are you line of site to any providers? In the rural areas of Middle America, this is growing in popularity. Places where DSL and Cable are not available.

As I said, I haven't taken any decent photos of this place yet. But here are a few photos of it that I took when we were out looking at houses and trying to decide what we wanted to buy next.

The place is a little over 3,000 square feet, on 16 acres. It obviously has to have a well and septic out in the boonies. This place has two septics and two 2,500 gallon water storage tanks. It also has 1,000 gallons of propane storage. That's nice because it has one wood stove and one propane heating source.

This first photo is of the living room, where I'm sitting right now as I type:

The entry way... the two windows beside the door are nice to have open to allow a breeze to pass through the house:

The kitchen area. My girlfriend HATES this wallpaper. I kinda like it because it reminds me of how my mom used to decorate. LOL.

Part of the master bedroom. Off to the right leads to the master bath.

This driveway is almost half a mile long:

And here's the other end of it: http://www.donovanphillips.com/image...e/DSC_0069.JPG


This is the "county" road from the highway winding 3 miles to the house. It's only single lane in some places, though traffic travels in two directions (what little traffic there is):

I'll get better, and more, photos later.

Just 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 3,000 square feet. But the 16 acres of privacy make up for it. It's so quiet up here!
