About Me

A little about me? Regardless of where I am, or what I'm doing I'm a Fightin' Texas Aggie and I will be till I die. Right now the universe has me sittin' in Jolly Ol' England fightin' fires for the United States Air Force. Ok, so I don't really fight fires. My job description says that I do, but in reality all we do is clean the station, play poker, and sit around watching t.v. I know, I know, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
I enjoy anything that gets me outdoors. Especially if it involves getting vertical. Climbing, repelling, mountaineering, snowboarding. I'm also a big music buff. I've never had any kind of musical talent of my own, but I do have a keen ear for all kinds of music. My tastes range from acapella country to instrumental speed metal, I guess I'm quite eclectic. My wide range of taste is also reflected in my taste of women I've heard, but that's all I'll say about that.
One of the other things that I do quite often is travel. I figure that if I gonna be here in England for a couple of years I should make the best of it. I've been to spain a couple times, germany a couple times, Scotland multiple times, Wales, France, and Belgium. I'm off to Romania in a few weeks, but if I told you more about that I'd have to kill you.
