Freedom is a very precarious gift, often abused. And when it is abused, it is usually lost.

About Me

I am a civilian mechanic with the Air National Guard. I love the work, & I love the travel that goes with it, although I don't really like the job. I enjoy eating out, live music, NFL football, (Go Ravens!!), board games, model building, and attending Renaissance Festivals. The Faire held in Maryland is something of a home away from home for me. I exercize by walking/jogging and lifting weights. I like almost any kind of food. Most people find me to be outgoing, but with an overactive sense of humor. If you can't laugh at your life, it'll make you cry.As I said, I work as a civilian airplane mechanic with the Air National Guard. I am slowly getting around to working on my civilian Airframe & Powerplant licence. I spend some time working on my house(less than I should), and some other time on my hobbies, and just try to live my life day to day. "Master Yoda says we should be mindful of the future"."Yes, but not at the expense of the moment."I'm a dog person who owns a cat, a slob who hates dirt, a lazy person who hates sloth, and a diabetic chocoholic. It gets curiouser from there....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Women (obviously), preferably single. If you are under 18, you're protected by the law. If you are over 60, you are protected by nature. 'Nuff said. Other than that, I'm open to new experiences. Fellow Ren Geeks, football freaks, Crew Chiefs, history buffs, drag racing fans, and model builders especially encouraged. Guys are welcome, of course, to chat, NOT DATE. Capiche?
