I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm from Alabama, a "rinky-dink" little hole in the wall town called Holly Pond. I'm proudly Southern by the grace of God. I'm happily married to my beautiful wife Kim, and have two wonderful children, Ryne Matthew(6!) and Raley McKenna(1). I remember when Ryne used to fall asleep in his walker. Seems like just yesterday that I was running back up the stairs of the hospital to L&D with a greasy overpriced cafeteria cheeseburger hanging out of my mouth. My family is my life. Well, one of them anyway. My other life is the United States Air Force. I am a Munitions Systems Journeyman. . . Ammo... Ammo is a world all in its own. A nice little update, I GOT A SHOP CHANGE!!! WOOHOO!! I will be going to missile maintenance as of 10 March. To hell with T/M!Eff myspace... Here are my pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/MattUSAF

My Interests

I like to hunt, like to fish, play in the mud, all that southern stuff. I recently got myself a DSLR and now I'm totally into photography.

I'd like to meet:

My dad. He died when I was three, and I never got to know him. But I hear that he was one hell of a man.
Hugh Laurie! That man is an amazing actor. He's awesome!
Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, the Mythbusters!
Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz from Bones!View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music is my outlet for my feelings and emotions. For me, music is like any other sense. The sound of a certain chord, or the beginning of a certain song, can bring back a memory like it just happened. I can listen to a song, and everything, everything, just disappears. I get lost in music. BOOM! Do you want it?

Books:

Last Breath: Cautionary Tales From The Limits Of Human Endurance. It's by Peter Stark. A very intriguing book of tales about people pushing the limits of endurance and the physiological and psychological effects of mortal peril.
There is no length of time that is too long nor distance that is too far. I love you more than life itself and I will wait for you until the day I die.
I will always live for the nights I can't remember, and the friends I will never forget.
The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs.
"I believe in being an American, what it stands for; and that, my friend, is worth fighting for." -Me
"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation." -George Washington
"Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for." -Erica Jong

Heroes:

My dad. He was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army.

So... Today I was asked the most difficult question that I have ever been asked. Never in my life would I have thought I would be asked such a life altering question. I'm not going to say what I was...
