I was raised on a small cattle farm 10 miles outside of Freer, Texas. I attended school almost 40 miles north of that. I am an only son but I have two sisters, one older, one younger. I rely on my older sister for shelter and thinking when I am too lazy to do it myself. After beating the shit out of each other growing up, I now get along quite well with my little sister. She, too, assists me when I am faced with the daunting obstacle of laziness. In return for their kindness I make them that much cooler be allowing them to be related to me. My father, though a poor teacher, taught me a lot about life in a somewhat direct, yet round-about way. It took me many years to finally understand how he operates, though. He also taught me how to drink and I love him for it. My mother supplied me with what little artistic talent I have. She also spoiled me the most and I love her for it.
I've traveled across most of the world(I've yet to visit Europe and countries in that area.). To accomplish that task I joined the U.S. Navy for 3 years. Through luck or Fate or both I was assigned to the U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Japan and sent to work in Weapons Department: G-3 Division, AKA Bomb Assembly. Granted, I wasn't well educated on the specifics of the ordnance I assembled but I think I was a decent enough worker. Minimal complaining, above average attitude toward work. I did my best work in 69 Mag. loading 20mm ammo. I did most of my growing up in the navy, too. I learned the proper way to get drunk and I developed the ability to sleep on practically any flat surface. I also, inadvertently, began to hone my computer skills even though there is a specific rate in the military for this. After the navy I came home with almost nothing except 4 tattoos, some sea stories, and an almost unfathomable dislike for several types of people...mostly Americans.
I am a devout drinker at heart. I try to apply my drunkard's philosophy to many things in my life. If something is worth doing it can also be worth doing drunk. Alcohol is for entertainment purposes only and is never to be considered an emotional crutch. Things said while drunk should not be taken very seriously but never disregarded as people are often more honest at that time. I was raised with tough love and the outstanding man I am today is the result. Any mental or verbal "abuse" is shrugged offI've suffered the worst and eventually became immune to it. I've always enjoyed having animals but only recently grown fond of a cat named Cass. It was her ferocious and unrelenting attacks on my sister that won me over...plus she looked adorable sleeping on my beer gut.
I tend to take bits and pieces of information from religions and people's personal beliefs. I then use what most applies to me and my experiences and try my best to live by that "code". I don't force it on others and I ignore people that force their's on me. I believe that regardless of what you believe in it should only HELP to make you happy and provide a sort of protection mentally and emotionally. So, after almost 28 years I've become this guy that people gravitate to for one of my many qualities. Because I like to make an ass of myself because it's funny, Or my razor sharp wit that serves to tell jokes and for solving problems. Or my almost limitless patience with people.
Look, my level of awesome cannot possibly be expressed in mere words alone. I have to be experienced to get the full effect...that doesn't mean sex unless you're amazingly attractive in which case sex is the only way.
Oh, and I like to write from time to time.
