About Me

"I'm not one thing or the other. Not flesh nor fowl nor good red herring..."
-=-=-=-=-=-
All my life I've lived by a code and the code is simple: honor God, love your woman and defend your country! - Hector of Troy
-=-=-=-=-=-
" Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honour, courage and virtue mean everything ; that power and money ... money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this.... that love....true love never dies! Remember that boy ... remember that. Doesn't matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things , because those are the things worth believing in...... got that? " - Hub, Secondhand Lions
