About Me

I consider myself a rebel whose conscience leads me where it will with little regard for the expectations of others. I make my own way in the world but still stop to help those in need believing in goodness but not in the strictness of laws and rules. A free-spirit but good-hearted type, I live life by my own moral compass with goodness as my true north but would argue against a person trying to force others to their will.

I must be crazy to want to jump out of planes into combat for a living. I almost can't wait to see what afterlife is. Fortunate am I for those who can wait...

I mostly keep to myself avoiding making friends that I can not consistantly keep up with. Quality quantity. My friends are my family, and my family always comes first. So before you hit that "add to friends list" button, let's have a good, interesting and thoughtfelt 2-way conversation.
