I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all...

About Me

I'm a Marine. I'm with 1st FAST Company, 3rd Platoon. What else do you need to know? Pretty much everyone on my friend list knows me personally, so that makes my life easy, in regards to what I have to tell the world about myself.

My Interests

Crew, The Military, Computers, Pool, Swimming, Subway, Seafood, Running, Driving too fast, Singing, Motorcycles, Sleeping... Definitely sleeping...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can relax. This world is so damn high-strung these days...s/n: OBreaking PointO

Music:

Disturbed, Godsmack, Linkin Park, Korn, Rammstein, Eve 6, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Staind, Trance, Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto, Evanescense, Audioslave, Three Doors Down, i'll add more as I think of them.

Movies:

Saving Private Ryan, Boondock Saints, Rush Hour, Tears of the Sun, Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down, A Beautiful Mind, Lucky Number Slevin, Flags of our Fathers, Wedding Crashers, Hot Shots, All Comedies.

Television:

CSI, Band of Brothers, Cops.
Yeah, don't really watch TV all that much.

Books:

Read a bunch of the OIF books to see what people thought of the initial conflict. One Bullet Away was pretty good, but I liked Hammer From Above the best.Blackhawk Down, by the way, is probably my favorite book overall.

Heroes:

My dad pretty much. If I can be half as good as him, I will have lived a good life.

Duty on the Shipyard. It sucks.

So most of you all know that my platoon is standing guard in Newport News.  It's boring and I complain about it nonstop.  But i've always said, a Marine isn't happy unless he's bitching... M...

Lotsa new stuff to report.

First off, I got a new cellfone.  Nextel was sucking, and the fones were gay, so I switched to Sprint.  New number is 571.991.4673.  So if you see a random 571 number pop up, don't just...

Whoa.. Leet Ski!

Well, since I live in the ghetto when the platoon is back in the rear, I stay in the barracks most of the time.  Its safer and cheaper.  The downside is I get bored a lot.  So I decided...
