now that,more nearest even than your fate

About Me

"The thing about addiction is, the only thing you ever feel other than the addiction is drunk, hungry or stoned. And compared to all the other things you could feel, like sad, angry, depressed, hate; an addiction does not seem so bad any more, it seems like a viable option." Does this include sex? Just wondering...

"You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."

"When I was a freshman, my advisor asked me 'What would you do if you knew you could not fail' I said sarcastically, 'Make a million dollars making people laugh.' At that point he said the three most important words in my life to me - 'Do your thing.'" - Michael Dean Ester

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

Here's a loop from the summer. I'll RockYou them later. More to come!

Here's making it easy to post comments. Just type and click. That's It!

Semper Fi. You are a true Marine. You are the nation's most devastating fighting force, barring Special Forces. But your place was not easy to get. You endured the harshest basic training of any Armed Force to get where you are, and your reward is the respect and admiration of everyone else (except maybe the Air Force, who may view you as just a dumb grunt. Perhaps it's true, but you just want to fight).

Marines


100%

Army


71%

Air Force


68%

Navy


25%

Coast Guard


21%

Music:

So yeah, just about anything... Country, rock, southern rock, classic rock, Western, Jazz, Vocal, Ambient, Bluegrass, R&B, Oldies, Techno, Dance, Pop, African Jimba, etc...

Your Love Style is Agape
You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner.
Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare.
You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie.
Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you.
For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love. What's Your Love Style?

Movies:

Jarhead, FMJ, Tombstone, Ice Age I & II, Training Day, The Recruit, Blazing Saddles, High Noon, and the list could go on forever...

You Are Wolverine
Small but fierce, you're a great fighter.
Watch out! You are often you're own greatest enemy.

Powers: Adamantium claws, keen senses, the ability to heal quickly Which of the X-Men Are You?

Television:

Ok, so I know what a television is. I don't own one however cause I feel no need to watch it. So I have no preferential TV shows. Does anyone else understand this feeling?

Your Seduction Style: The Natural
You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen.
Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people.
You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find!
People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast. What Is Your Seduction Style?

Books:

Currently I'm worming my way through the Lord of the Rings series. Yes, it's a series. Not a trilogy. Picked up a few by Vince Flynn this summer (Transfer of Power, Term Limits). The Beauty of Lilies (Updike). Ella Minnow Pea (Dunn). Tales of the City (Maruphin). And of course, my favorite poet - e.e. cummings. They'll be more soon, I'm sure...

You've Experienced 76% of Life
You have all of the life experience that most adults will ever get.
And unless you're already in your 40s, you're probably wise beyond your years. How Much Life Experience Do You Have?

Heroes:


You Are 50% Extrovert, 50% Introvert
You're a bit outgoing, a bit reserved
Like most people, you enjoy being social
But you also value the time you have alone
You have struck a good balance! Are You An Extrovert or An Introvert?
