About Me

To play for Bear Bryant would have been amazing. I should have been in the Rat Pack. To be side by side with Al Capone is where I belong. George Patton would have had me in charge. Billy the Kid was crazy, but I bet one hell of a time to be around. Trajen was overshadowed by Julius and Shakespeare. I may have been taller than Napoleon, but I would have fought like hell for him at Waterloo. I would have been Sun Zhu's scribe. Marilyn Monroe is one of the most beautiful women, ever. I would have hung on Jack Kennedy's every word. Jefferson Davis was a brilliant man, just a victim of enviroment. I could tapped along with Fred Astaire, played the drums with Tito Fuente, the trumpet with Louis Armstrong, or sang along with Sammy Davis Jr. (probably the most talented of the Pack)..... I'm a simple man with simple pleasures. I seek happiness and passion in life, as we all should. I value where I come from because it takes me to where I am going. My family provides strength, my friends provide support, my life provides entertainment. I know I am destined for great things, but not sure on what scale. I am a true southern gentleman, my mom and grandmother wouldn't have it any other way.

Books:

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.-Dylan Thomas

Heroes:

I believe we encounter heroes everyday, we just have to recognize them. I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting the safety chief for the World Trade Centers who sent the fireman up. Like it or not, that man is a hero for what he has to deal with everyday of his life.But there are two true heroes in my life. My mother. My grandfather. Both have taught me the true value of life and that is the greatest lesson of all.

Passion
