About Me

I'm your not quite typical happily married (99% of the time), 40-something, minimalist, retired military guy. My life philosophy is based on two simple principles, "You only get one life, so don't throw it away...never self-destruct!" and "He who does not trust is not trust-worthy." After 26 years in the US Air Force, I'm happy it's behind me tho' I'm semi-retired, the grass really is greener on this side! Now I just have to figure out what I want to do now that I'm a grown up!.... ..I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

I love a good laugh, but when I'm not doing that I enjoy reading, anything to do w/ cars (detailing cars relaxes me), watching boxing, writing, and sketching. I'm also interested in learning to play the electric bass.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people, new and old.
MySpace Layouts
MySpace Graphics

Music:

I like most music, but my faves are old school R and B and Funk. Jazz works when I need to focus. I also like some rap so long as it doesn't degrade women (why do they have to be B's and H's?) or isn't filled with self-hate (I can see no positive use/purpose for calling yourself or your brother the N word).

Movies:

Documentaries, comedies, action...anything that keeps my attention and/or takes my mind off the daily grind.

Television:

Prison Break, Heroes, The 4400, Monk, House, My Name is Earl... Now that I'm retired, I have free time to watch TV, but I'll go back to work one of these days!

Books:

Anything that makes me think or reflect on what's really important in life. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know, but that's the point!

Heroes:

JFK & his brother Bobby, MLK, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and even Bill Gates (he has no roots/ties to Africa or black America, yet he pours his time & money into improving conditions over there and helps out HBCUs here). As a "work in progress," I'm sure there will be many more in my lifetime.
