Hi! My name is George Washington. I'm that guy that gave you your freedom so you better thank me on myspace. I'm sure you all know who I am, and if you don't, you are one ignorant person who needs to sign up for a U.S. history class regardless of what you are doing right now. I was born in 1732 and died in 1799. I love my girl, Martha, and have 2 step kids. The youngest one, Patsy, died when she was very young from an epileptic siezure. I became a soldier and a major during the French and Indian War, and grew to love military life very much. After the war, I settled down with my "sugar mommy" (she was loaded after the death of her first husband) Martha. We spiffed up my home that I inherited after my brother Lawrence died. I called it Mount Vernon. It is my pride and joy. I spent the majority of my time fox hunting and socializing wuth the other Virginia gentry. For the most part, I loved being a gentlemen and loved being British. It wasn't until the Stamp Act of 1763 that I began seeing the British as less than tolerable. I became a congressman for my native homeland of Virginia and participated in both the first and second Continental Congresses. I was elected Commander-In-Chief during the second congress, and vowed to defend my home at all costs. I arrived in Boston to take command of the Continental Army (which was an absolute joke) in 1775. After 8 horribly difficult years of fighing, we were able to win our independence. I then took my leave and enjoyed another 6 years at Mount Vernon with my babe Martha. I was then summoned to attend the Constitutional Conventionm which was being held in Philadelphia, in 1787. Once there I was elected president, and began the process of helping to create the Constitution (which was a pain in the ass!). After that, I was unanimously elected as the first President of the United States, something I really didn't want to do, but did out of obligation to my countrymen. I served 8 years, in which time I created virtually every precedent for that office. I gave legitimacy to the new government, and saved it from collapse on numerous occasions. Essentially, I became the embodiment of everything special about this country. My greatest claim to fame is that I gave up power of my own free will (something that most revolutionaries can't say). Now in the year 2007, I see political parties thowing fits, which makes me very angry. I hate political facions, and believe it will be the downfall of this nation.
My Interests
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to see Cornwallis again, just to kick his butt one more time!I'd also like to meet every president that has followed me, so I can prove to them that I was the very best!
