About Me

I went out there, In search of experience
To taste and to touch, and to feel as much,
As a man can, before he repents.
Yeah I went with nothing,
Nothing but the thought of you.
I went wandering...
"To laugh often and love much;
TO WIN THE RESPECT OF INTELLIGENT PERSONS and the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest citizens and ENDURE THE BETRAYAL OF FALSE FRIENDS;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
TO GIVE OF ONE'S SELF;
To LEAVE THE WORLD A BIT BETTER, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED."
"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline." - Vince Lombardi

i know some soldiers,
that sleep with their canteens,
they wake up with screams,
and the sound of M16's,
so take this medal of honor,
for your bravery,
i wish you the best,
for you and your family...

My Interests & Hobbies:
Mixed Martial Arts (yes, as in that "ultimate fighting stuff")

Go to the gym (gotta do what ya gotta do)

Golf (I just like driving the golf carts)

Raiders & A's games (love those Coliseum dogs)

Live music (small or large venues)

Comedy clubs (when I grow up I want to be an astronaut & comic)

Movies (watching a DVD curled up on the couch. ahhhh)

Theatre (yes, as in plays)

Wine tasting (a feeble attempt at being pretentious)

Spontaneous road trips (screw gas prices - SUV's help make the world warmer! I know, I know - bad joke.)

Finding cool "dive bars" (support your local mixologist)

Meeting cool, drama free people (gravity-free individuals only please!)

And I aim to enjoy life as best I can so I can make bitter people even more miserable - (you know who you are.) You'll get what you deserve suckers!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to catch up with old friends and stay in touch with those that I don't see or talk to as much as I should. Maybe even get back in touch with a few who burned their bridges accidentally - everyone makes mistakes...

Not looking to hook up, sorry I'm looking for a rare breed and I doubt we're going to find each other on myspace - but on second thought, you never know, lol. I'd also like to meet true MMA fans who who want to see our sport grow in a positive way, MARINES, philanthropists, and just cool people in general.

Whats wrong with this picture?

If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring t...
