I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Those of you who know me will understand what a shock my life has turned out to be. Go back to 1993, ask me or any of my friends if 10 years later I'd be happily married, with a beautiful daughter, and an MP in the army and most of us would die laughing. (Im sure theres a few friends out there who would say I knew you would do good things but they are the minority) Some how, by an act of God Im sure, I managed to stay out of jail, grow up and do something with my life. I have a wonderfull wife (Melissa) who puts up with me (thats what makes her wonderful) A beautiful little girl (Kirsten) Call me biased, I am, but she's the cutest, most wonderful kid in the world. I can't be happier with how my life has turned out and can honestly say I don't deserve this much. But as they saying goes "don't look a gift horse in the mouth." The only thing I miss is my lifestyle has pulled me away from all my childhood friends. I have managed to track many of them down over the years and Im still looking for the rest. If your a friend and are looking for someone or think you can help complete my list please speak up :) Enough about me.... lets hear about you :)

My Interests

Sadly being a soldier and father leaves little time for my intrests. I still build model airplanes when the time allows, Read books and, surf the net but the things I dream of are horse back riding, fishing, camping, exporing the great out doors. My job lets me do some of this but every now and then I like to go camping without wearing Kevlar, battle rattle and with my friends/ family instead of battle buddies...

Music:

Most of the 80's hairbands.... Guns n Roses, Metallica, Skid Row to name a few. Plus alot of the late 90's country rock Tim McGraw, Toby Keith....

Movies:

I watch everything.... Testosterone filled action flicks, chick flicks, Comedy... The only thing I dont like are films that focus on racial devides, (Crash being an exception) or pansy ass faggot films thats sole purpose is to promote gay acceptance. I have no problem with gays so long as they leave me to my life they can enjoy thier life but Im tired of hollywood trying to force feed that lifestyle on me. A good way to sumerize this is Will and Grace - great show, Broke Back Mountiain - what the fuck were they thinking? I also dont like movies that are supposed to be Comedy but are so incredibly stupid I dont know how people can watch them. Dude where's my car, Freddy got Fingered to name a few.... Everything else is fair game.

Television:

Ok, Ive been neutered... Shows that when hearing about them I say theres now way in hell your going to get me to watch that I end watching religiously waiting for the next episode. Gilmore Girls Tops my list followed by Friends Being in a country that doesnt speak english I usually buy the DVD Season collection of the shows I watch. The collection includes the above mentioned plus Buffy, Angel, Will and Grace and to ensure myself Im still a man I have SG1, SG Atlantis, The Shield, NYPD Blue, OZ, X Files, Dukes of Hazard, MASH, Air Wolf, The Highlander and Lost. God I cant wait till I get back to the states where TV's not filled with a bunch par le vue frances'

Books:

Dragon Lance, Harry Potter, W.E.B. Griffon, Tom Clancy... I'll read almost anything though if it can hold my intrest past the first few chapters. Ive recently started reading Clive Cusstlers books involving Dirk Pitt and a couple Dean Koontz books.

Heroes:

Anybody who stands up for what they believe is right or chases thier dreams even in the face of insurmountible odds..... Rick Allen (the drummer from Def Leppard, Lance Armstrong to name a few
