About Me


And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ
And seem a saint when most I play the devil

I'm a single guy. There are no other guys attached to me, I've always just been the one guy.
Let's see here. 24. I'm 24 and I know about as much as I did about life as I did at 18. Or so I would have thought so back then.
Navy guy. That's an alright gig. I think it's just a little bit awkward when someone comes up to me and does the whole "Thanks for serving our country" thing. I dunno, I guess I just don't think about it. For me, and pretty much all the other guys, it's just part of our job. Be nuclear operators, go out to sea every so often, wear a uniform, and defend freedom and democracy. It's a package deal. But, I digress. The guys I work with are some of the best guys you could ever want as friends. They would literally give you the shirt off of thier back, just so you could have a shirt...as long you're a hard worker. If you a shitbag, forget about it. You might as well be fuckin' invisible. All of that aside, I guess I like my job okay.
I dig karaoke. I, unlike Homer, prefer Mountian Dew over Crab juice. I know how to make damn good party shots...I call 'em Windex shots. When I'm at a party, I always want to run around without any clothes on, but those prevent me from streaking. And, I'm a fairly lucky at the craps table.
I guess that's about it.
Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. -Woodrow Wilson
