Don't Stop Believing

About Me

A little about me. My name is Joshua, and I'm better looking than Derrick Zoolander and more classy than James Bond. In short I'm a knight in shining armor, and Prince Charming, at the same time. I know, impressive huh? Oh and I'm very modest as you can tell. Seriously though, I'm just a fun-loving Christian guy that tries to keep on the sunny side of life. Originally from Castroville CA, went to high school in Portsmouth VA, got my degree at the United States Military Academy at West Point NY, and now I'm livin in Columbus, GA till I finish learning how to kill bad guys and break their stuff. After that I'll be stationed at Ft. Riley, KS, until they deploy me somewhere where there's bad guys lookin for trouble. My AIM screenname is Carson oo7.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar up on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:28-31

My Interests

God and country. Army, Infantry, paintball, church, helping out in children's church, killing bad guys and breaking their stuff...

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Jesus some day, and until then I'd like to meet some other folks like Col. Hal Moore or Maj. Dick Winters, I'd love to shake their hands. On a different note I'd like to meet Osama Bin Laden, but not to shake his hand. Lastly, I'd like to meet a nice pretty Christian girl I could fall in love with, sooner rather than later, but I guess I'll have to wait see about that one...

Music:

classic rock, southern rock, 80's rock, and as of late quite a bit of country too...

Movies:

Serenity, We Were Soldiers, Braveheart, The Patriot, Gladiator, Die Hard, First Blood, Rocky, Lord of the Rings

Television:

Firefly, South Park, the military channel, the discovery channel, stuff like that...

Books:

The B-I-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me, Starship Troopers, To Hell and Back, We Were Soldiers Once and Young, Wild at Heart, The Lord of the Rings

Heroes:

Jesus Christ for being the ultimate example of bravery and sacrifice giving up everything and facing the most painful and horrible death in history because he loves us so much.
My Grandpa, David Lee Carson, for choosing the harder right instead of the easier wrong no matter what the cost
Audie Murphy for being perfect warrior and thinking nothing of his own safety but rather fighting impossible odds to save his friends
Alvin York for showing how you can be a good Christian and still fight as long as it's to protect the innocent
George S. Patton, Jr. for proving you flunk multiple classes at West Point and still turn out all right
The Spartans who died in the Battle of Thermopylae for forfeiting their lives and facing certain death to keep their society free when no one else would
The Melians for choosing to fight and die free rather than surrender to the Athenians and live as slaves
Every veteran for sacrificing their own safety and suffering the unspeakable horrors of war so that others can live free and go about their lives peacefully

Survey says...

This is me according to a super-duper psychatrist survey. For the most part I think it's pretty accurate. Neuroticism:    Traits in the N domain reflect different ways of reacting emo...
