Just SEMPER DRIFT!

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

"Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own." In that respect, there ain't much real love out there these days... people just want it all for themselves...It's all Me, Me, Me. Though I still blieve that it exists, the only shitty part: finding it; but isn't that what makes life interesting though? Hell yeah!
My Real, no-shit name is Frederick Lemuel Penafiel Gorospe. Or just Fred for short. Though I also go by Freddy or the ocational "Rick" once in a blue moon to hide my identity. I'm a 5'5" tall stocky Filipino dude who was born in the PI, moved to Canada and somehow ended up in Sacramento, California. I'm a closet fatass, and weight about 160 pounds at the moment thanks to all the MRE's and Beer I drink while I wallow away playing video games in my Barracks. Oh yeah, I'm also in the Marine Corps.....Reserve. I'm now in Iraq, Camp Al Taqaddam, and this place isn't what I imagined it to be. I'm stationed in "Camp Cupcake No.2" Eeking out a cheezy existence. Lord, help me...
I exist in a Jungle of Sorts and thus it is so:
"Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back -- For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
- Rudyard Kipling
This is pretty damn close to discribing me:OCTOBER: Loves to chat. Loves those who loves them. Loves to takes things at the center. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care of what others think. Emotional. Decisive. Strong clairvoyance. Loves to travel, the arts and literature. Touchy and easily jealous. Concerned. Loves outdoors. Just and fair. Spendthrift. Easily influenced. Easily loses confidence. Loves children.
Future Ambitions include making a 6 or seven figure income running my own business someday. That way I can provide for my parents when they retire and help out the rest of my extended family financially.
How am I gonna do it? I'm gonna open me a bar. Cause somewhere it's 5 and people are lining up to wet their whiskers. Plus it's a cash cow that's gonna help me do the above financial goals and fuel my Rotary Rockets! Hell Yeah! Rotary Power for life!
Oh and build some fast cars and travel the world National Geographic, Globe Trekker or Tilt 23&1/2 style.
My goals and dreams: My Vision Board, next to my head when I sleep...
Current Rank... let's go for E5!

My Interests

My entire Freemode Clan. RX-7's and things that go zoom. Sliding sideways and track days. Eating Sushi. Reading about places I want to travel to someday - National Geographic style. Anime and Manga. I also seem to be growing fond of someone else these days.

I'd like to meet:

These Gears:

Laid back people with a good attitude and some interesting stories to tell.
Oh and of course a cute single open minded female who enjoys Sushi over some Green Tea. And can accept a man who has a love and passion for cars and the outdoors (like hiking and whatnot).

This Chick:

And definately this dude...
Last but not least, the guy who said "I'd love to meet Hitler, so I can kill him."

Music:

I like a lot of genres. But Rock and Electronic (don;t call it "techno") are on top. Of course I also just got bit by the J-Pop bug recently as well. And I've also recently began to appreciate the works of the late Johnny Cash... that man was really something.

Something Old School from back in the day.... ..

One of my favorite Bands... Matthew Good... Canadian Bands are so underappreciated, but their talent sure kicks ass.

JPop Band: Flow ... these guys are fawkin' snazzy

Movies:

Well for starters... Empire of the Sun, Princess Mononoke, In Pursuit of Happiness, Grave of the Fireflies, Anchorman: The Ron Burgandy Story (Milk was a bad choice!), Full Metal Jacket. Many more, too much to list.

Television:

Naruto and Bleach.. that counts .. right? Cops, Ninja Warrior, Attack of the Show, various random stuff from Discovery, History and TLC.

Yep I was raised during his years....THANK YOU LLOYD GALANG FOR POSTING THIS PIC! It has made my day 01/23/2007.

Red VS. Blue.... too bad Rooster Teeth turned into Cockbites

Bleach and the whole Shinigami Crew

Not going anywhere for a while? Grab a Snickers:

Books:

A lot of Manga for starters. GTO and Naruto are my top ones. Though Midori Days, Chobits and Saikano all have found a place in my heart. I'm more of a Shonan type, but Shouju (sp?) has it's place.

As for othe publications. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Flags of our Fathers, Book of 5 Rings, Art of War, Generation Kill (interesting book), Guns/Germs & Steel (very interesting book), The "I" Chong, Paradise Lost, The Alphabet of Manliness. All National Geographic Books/publications (Love culture and Travel). There's more... but I'm too lazy to try to list them, my bad.

Heroes:

For starters... this guy. Well, really more of what he stands for and his character as a person. Too dumb to give up easily, too mean to die, sticks up for his peeps anytime, and always does what's right no matter what people think.

And Ero-Sennnin on the right...fawking cool haircut. And his sense of Justice, despite his perverted penchant for peeking. Kinda needed it if you're the author of a series of books called "Icha Icha."

As for real life heroes. Anyone who'll give up something of theirs for someone who's not so lucky. Or anyone who'll fight for the undedog. There are too many historical references. Of course one I'll draw from the Marine Corps is the legendary Dan Daly... he's just too much of a historically accurate badass. Read about him and you'll never believe what he pulled off.

And lastly, the two guys that took sevral bullets for me*:
*Not Really.
