About Me

Hmmm, About me? I hate doing this because there's a fine line between an apt description and flat out conciet. Everyone has those things that they feel they are masters of. Anybody with a decent amount of self esteem will not describe themselves in a manner that would cause the people around them to look upon them in a derogatory manner. That's where having some modesty comes in. Being humble is a noble trait for sure but truly modest people are as rare as a female virgin in a Catholic high schools graduating class. So I'll Leave my description as basic as possible. All the "real" things about me are easily attainable, just ask for them and I'll let ya in on the story that is me. Okay. With that said here's what I got to give ya. I'm 6'4 athletic, dark hair and eye's. See picture. and I live in Fla. I was a professional welder for many years. I have recently switched my profession due to a serious medical situation. I now install laminate and hardwood flooring. I love football, basketball isn't a game, its a way of life.. Don't test the white people can't jump theory on me or I'll dunk on your ass. Ask someone who's played against or with me they'll tell you. I'll show conciet for a moment when I say that I was absolutely put on this planet to be a parent. I have 4 children. 3 are with me alway's and the 4th is not far from me ever.She is always in my heart and thoughts. Alicia, Hunter, Brooke and Sararose, You are the reasons I wake up and Breathe, The reason I made it through what I did. Daddy Loves You Alway's. Jennifer, She's My rock and the strongest person ( both male and Female) I have ever met. I have people who I consider my friends. A few who are way more than that. Lance, Ray, James, Paul and Joey. All you guy's know what you mean to me. I don't need to get all mushy here. My family is exactly that, My family. all know that without them I am nothing.I know exactly who I am, What I am not and what I will eventually become. I love to write, I love to ball. I love the fact that there are more women on the earth then men. That'll cover that for now. Anything else? Ask away..

My Interests

I love Dodge Ramcharger Truck's, Plymouth Traildusters are even better, I like Basketball (playing and watching) 4wheel driving, camping, Reading, Writing, Welding, and too many other things too list..

John Elway for sure. Good old ..7, brought me pain and triumph. Thanks dude. We miss ya tons on the field at Mile High. .. Dennis Miller: Smart as a whip and funny as hell...

Last but not least: Every person who is willing to be a TRUE friend to me....

Music:

Metallica,Guns&Roses,80's big hair bands Rule,Mud on the Tires by Brad Paisly, the only country song I ever heard that was cool it's my theme song. REM,Etc Etc.

Movies:

Ferris Bueller's day off, The Shawshank Redemption, Bourne Identity, Alien, Duece Bigalow Male Gigalo( that's a huge Bitch) There's Something About Mary (Franks and Beans). Anything By M. Night Shamalan. American History X, Mary Poppins (yeah that's right Mary Poppins) E.T., Jaws 1. All the Rocky Movies.(cut me mick) etc etc etc.

Television:

M.A.S.H Rules, Becker, All reality TV sucks except American Chopper, Monday Night Football, Seinfeld, CSI, CSI New York (CSI Miami SUCKS ASS) Discovery Channel, MTV is Crap. Two and a Half Men is Pretty Funny. That's about it.

Books:

Anything Written By Dean Koontz, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, ( made me the reader that I am today.) All Harry Potter Books ( they are turning children into readers as you read this and they are very good reads themselves. Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. So many books I've read. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Well the whole Chronicles of Narnia for that matter. Stephen King books, he's a little bit overly descriptive but he does scare the hell out of you. Johnathan Kellermans Alex Delaware Novels. Still Life With Woodpecker, Another Roadside Attraction and Skinny legs and All, by Tom Robbins. King Rat. And all the other's that have taken me to places that I can't reach by myself..

Heroes:

My heroes are My Dad, Vietnam and he raised me and my brothers that's a bad ass Dude right there. My Mom for raising us too. Dr. Robert Mericle and the entire staff at the Nuerological Institute at the University of Florida's Shands Hospital For doing a surgery that noone else would touch, I owe you all my life literally.. Sports figures to me are Idol's not heroes. All the Men and Women who died and continue dying to make our Country the place it is, those are heroes not the guy who threw the game winning touchdown in the Big Game. The people who sacrificed their lives on November 11 2001, God Bless You all, there's a special wing in heaven reserved for people like you. James Deter, for doing it alone, The Guy who invented the condom (previously mentioned but still bears naming). Heroes come in large and small packages. For instance a man who get's up and makes the daily grind to work and support his family is a hero. Single mom's struggling to feed their kids while deadbeat dad's drive brand new cars. Those are heroes. It doesn't take an act of greatness to make you a hero in my book. Just living the day without hurting your fellow man puts you in the category as far as I am concerned.

My Blog

So this is Blogging... Hmmm

O.k.blogging? I didn't even know what the word meant until today. Blog Is is short for Weblog. I know how sad is it that I didn't know that right? SO I guess this will be an online diary of sorts. O....
