About Me

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I HAVE A DIVERSE GROUP OF FRIENDS AND SOME THINGS HERE MAY BE FOUND INAPPROPRIATE. I DO BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, AND I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK WHAT THEY WISH. I AM SORRY IF SOMETHING HERE OFFENDS YOU.

I have a strong ethical foundation. Its originates from my parents and faith. I strongly live by my morals and ethics.


I believe in the seek for perfection, this is the basis for my faith.

I believe in justice, the foundation for balance and equality.
Justice is what give us, and the same time bind us to our freedoms.

I believe in being loyal.
Loyalty is the responsibility that comes with the right to love.

I believe in the responsibility to defend and willing to give to the weak, innocent, and ones in need. If you are capable and others are not, then you should feel no resentment in lending an open hand, open mind, open heart to another.

I believe you should stand with faith and courage. If you live righteous, you will live with pride and faith, and not in fear or cowardess.

I believe in being noble. You should live in honor, with integrity, and have respect for others. You should live for your virtues and responsibilities.

I also believe in the foundation of chivialry;


    Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions. Thou shalt defend the Church. Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them. Thou shalt love the country in the which thou wast born. Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy. Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy. Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God. Thou shalt never lie, and shall remain faithful to thy pledged word. Thou shalt be generous, and give largess to everyone. Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.

And Bushido.


Gi (right decision) Taken with equaninmity*, the right attitude, the truth. When one must die there is no thought to giving ones life, if it is in Gi. Rectitude** Justice Fairness. The use of authority to uphold what is right.
Yu (Bravery) Heroism, rushing into the point of a sword without hesitation. Courage Ability to face danger or hardship and keep your self esteem.
Jin (Benevolence) Universal love towards mankind. Compassion. Benevolence To do good. Show kindness. Be charitable.
Rel (right action) A most essential quality, especially in martial arts. Rei or Reishiki etiquette is the perservation of courtesy. The samurai believed it was better to loose ones life than be impolite. Politeness Show respect. Treat with equality.

Melyo (honor) Glory without ego. Honor Adherence to principles considered right.
Chugo (loyalty) Devotion to ones lord and teacher. Loyalty Faithful to ones family, friends, country, and ideals.

I live by the Army Values.


Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other Soldiers. Bearing true faith and allegiance is a matter of believing in and devoting yourself to something or someone. A loyal Soldier is one who supports the leadership and stands up for fellow Soldiers. By wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army you are expressing your loyalty. And by doing your share, you show your loyalty to your unit.

Fulfill your obligations. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your assigned tasks. Duty means being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. The work of the U.S. Army is a complex combination of missions, tasks and responsibilities—all in constant motion. Our work entails building one assignment onto another. You fulfill your obligations as a part of your unit every time you resist the temptation to take “shortcuts” that might undermine the integrity of the final product.

Treat people as they should be treated. In the Soldier's Code, we pledge to “treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same.” Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-respect is a vital ingredient with the Army value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. The Army is one team and each of us has something to contribute.

Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort.

Live up to Army values. The Nation's highest military award is The Medal of Honor. This award goes to Soldiers who make honor a matter of daily living—Soldiers who develop the habit of being honorable, and solidify that habit with every value choice they make. Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage in everything you do.

Do what's right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to moral principles. It requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. As your integrity grows, so does the trust others place in you. The more choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and, finally, the fundamental acceptance of yourself.

Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral). Personal courage has long been associated with our Army. With physical courage, it is a matter of enduring physical duress and at times risking personal safety. Facing moral fear or adversity may be a long, slow process of continuing forward on the right path, especially if taking those actions is not popular with others. You can build your personal courage by daily standing up for and acting upon the things that you know are honorable.
