I am here for Friends

About Me

Oxymoronic defined: I have little respect for authority...and I used to be a cop. I DO NOT trust our government...yet i served 5 years in the USAF. I went to Catholic school...and I'm Agnostic. I'm a brutal cynic...and yet I'm oddly optimistic. If I had to sum myself up in three words...those words would be PRAGMATIC, LOGICAL, ICONOCLASTIC.
