Life treats you the way you look at it.

About Me

I'm just a person with big goals. I try to think bigger than my current capabilities. Other than that I'm a fun loving life of the party. I'm a person who has a heart way too big for myself.
Right now, I'm a soldier in the US Army, but I plan on becoming an mechanical engineer soon. Not soon enough though.
My future plans are to take over the world one day. I just may have found my female accomplice.
Who really cares about who I am? No, really, if you want to know more, ask me.

My Interests

Wrenching on my car, the people around me, hanging out with friends, exploring the outdoors, running, hiking, learning, etc.
I love to learn. I love to learn something new all the time.
Something a friend told me sticks with me even to today...
Dying only starts when you stop learning.

I'd like to meet:

My old buddies. High school, military, college, it doesn't matter. Any old friends.
Honestly, I'm open to meeting anyone as long as that anyone is not hostile. I figure I live life once.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

This is my buddy Cano's video from Korea. This is what we do.

This is Corporal Watson's night live fire.

Look at the punishment we provide on the enemy. The last one is GMLRS. That's what we are firing over there now.

Music:

Everything and anything.

Movies:

All different types. Try me. Mostly ones where the protagonist overcomes against all odds. The conditions may be impossible and the temptation to walk away might be great, but the resilience to persist despite all circumstances is what sets a movie apart. TaeGukGi, The Condemned, etc.

Television:

Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Everyone Hates Chris, not a whole lot more because I don't watch TV.

Books:

The Bible, textbooks, and other Chirstian Living books. I'm probably going to start reading text books again soon though. I have to keep learning.

Heroes:

People who run the extra mile in life. People who achieve dreams despite all their odds. People who live selflessly for a cause that is not of their own. People who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
These are true leaders and my heros.

So when does this end? When the Iraqis take over... Our government has plans to stay here for a while. Deployment isn't bad. And for the record, we are winning this war. I would like to thank GEN Petr...

I guess I should go ahead and start my Marathon training.

I don't know when I should do a marathon, but I guess I should go ahead and start training. Life is short. There are so many things to accomplish. Running 26.2 miles can't be the most difficult. I fig...
