About Me

Hi all. I am living on the family farm where I have lived since I was 4. Went to school in Ashland. Graduated in 1984. Left for the Army 2 weeks later. Did basic at Ft. Jackson and AIT at Ft. Gordon. After that was shipped to Europe,West Germany stationed in Wildflecken Germany. It was one of the places where Hitlers SS troops trained and were stationed. I remember at the front gate,on top of two huge columns,there were still the Eagles claws from the pair of Eagles that had swastikas on their chests,after G.I.s blasted off the upper part of them. I was about 7 miles from the East German border stationed at a Hawk Missile Tac site.(Back when there was a wall and a seperated Germany. Very remote duty station to say the least). I got to see quite a bit of history and the country while I was there. My job was in electronic communications and I was one of the unit armorers. I was also the assistant N.B.C. NCO. The beer was fantastic. Very beautiful place to be. My father passed in 1986. (He was a Marine.)Came home for the funeral and drove his remains down to the "family" plot in South Carolina. Lost both my grandmothers in same time period. Anyway time went by, got shipped to Ft. Lee at the 267 QM company, spent time at A.P. Hill and some time in Washington state. Several months in the "desert region",by the Columbia River. ETS'd from Uncle Sam in late 1987. Troop reduction program. So I just missed the 1st Gulf War. So I just kicked it around for a few years. Went to Aviation Mechanics School and received my Associates degree. My mother moved to Seattle with my sister back in 1990, so mom suggested I live here. Well hell yes, it's out in the country. Mom passed away back in 2003 and since my siblings are very cool, we worked it out to a position where I could purchase the old homestead. It is only 20 acres with a 1930's farm house and a Big red barn with a few outbuildings, but to me, it is my slice of heaven.Anyway,I love to hunt ,fish, and I really love my firearms. I am sorry but a firearm is a tool rather than, as alot of people who consider them as something terrible or it is the firearms fault that something it was used for in the hands of some freakin idiot. To me something terrible is a catastrophe; of course hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, disease,(electing G.W.B.), etc. I stand behind ALL of our armed forces. My oldest cousin was a Major with the Engineers. He got to try out some of the first bunker busters and was setting up water filtration plants in Iraq. My nephew is in the Rangers and has been to Afghanistan twice, and is getting ready to go for a third time in a 2 year period. He just received his Sgt. stripes. Good job... Hell, I almost joined the National Guard last month. Frankly, after giving it more consideration, I couldn't see going in now and only being a Sergeant(E-5) at my age and with the extremely low wage that our soldiers make. Our soldiers need to be compensated much more for being in harms way. Did you know that they only get paid $150 per month for combat pay. How disgusting.I just cannot abide by G.W.B. or his administration. And they impeached Bill Clinton for a blowjob. (Which they later dropped the charges.) Sorry, the crap that has been allowed for Bush is BULLSHIT. People bitch about Liberals and Democrats, well I am both. With a bit of Libertarian mixed in. Hmmmm, maybe that makes me a Centerist...LOL. But not the kind that people always try and label. I stand with our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. I stand with our troops and whatever it takes for them to achieve their goals. Somewhere, somehow Bush has forgotten what this country was founded on. I guess his reading skills as well as his speech has went with his memory. Good karma is good Karma. Just try to be kind and tolerant of the other person because most of the time they don't see that they are the problem. And this feeds into people being lemmings. It is always someone else's fault for their stupidity. (And what in the hell was Ms. South Carolinas problem?) I could go on and on...

Hmmm. Ron Paul, Al Gore, Ron Paul, Barack Obama, Billiary Clinton (yeah both of 'em), Keith Olbermann, Robert Redford, Ian Mcshane, Al Greenspan, Robin Williams, Billy Bob Thornton, A.C.-D.C.-the group, Hank Williams Jr., Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Dixie Chicks, Big and Rich, Quinten Tarintino, Jimmy Carter, Walter Cronkite and the list goes on... There are several other people that should be included, but they have been taken out in some form, fashion or another... (G.W.B. and D.C.-only in a long dark alley and I'm armed-nuff said about that!!!) (I think Toby Keith needs to stop making money off of our armed forces and the situation that our country is in. What a piece of crap.)
