Most of you will call me crazy, but I love the smell of shrimp boats, and just plain open waters by the Gulf.

I live about an hour from the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana, and as a kid I used to love going out there on the docks by the boats fishing with my dad and brother.
Smells are very nostalgic and are linked to emotions

That's not crazy. I smell things at random times and they bring me back to countries I've visited. Wow, Louisana. I was in New Orleans for thanksgiving last year, never been around that many black people in my life, it was strange to blend in like that. I loved it, when I was in Hong Kong I stuck out like a sore thumb, people could see me for miles...

I like your "loading" image, it keeps me guessing and then I realize it won't ever load, hahaa, it's nice!

"Smell is the sense of memory and desire." - Jean Jacques Rousseau

“As perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you, remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me: all things leave me:
You remain.”
~Arthur Symons

Is it perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?
- TS Eliot
