About Me

Slit my throat

My Interests

Everything. Particularly the middle east, philosophy, journalis,mtheology, music (anything), drinking(PBR,kamikazes, and various other drinks), military, cavalry, and trying to make sense of this crazy world. playing guitar, figuring out ways to say "Fuck the Government" without getting in trouble at work, the smell of gasoline, camel lights, conversations, The southwest, deserts, mountains, never feeling Florida humidity again, and much much more.

I'd like to meet:

We have the freed(u)om(b) to do this and those that dont, are just free to be dumb, lazy, and everything else this country wasnt built on.
