Just For Fun

Recently, just for fun, I googled "Camp Osceola" to find out:


  • How unoriginal am I?

  • Fairly unoriginal


  • How much of my life is on display on the web?

  • Answer: Quite a bit, actually!



But there is also alot of other information out there about Osceola.



As previously stated, I named this place based on it's location, years ago. Without giving too much away let me just say that Osceola is already inherent. Truthfully, I had never even heard of Osceola until I moved here, which is sad because Chief Osceola had a substancial and honorable place in history. (The second time I heard it was in John Anderson's 'Seminole Wind') Also having spent quality time on Florida's gulf, let me say I have a real appreciation for that area and the Florida State Seminoles. (They also have really big misquitoes there!)



Because of his fame, the name is now spread through out the US. So when I googled 'Camp Osceola', here is what I got:
