I'm a 28 year old student at UGA--at times I feel like Billy Madison. I am a veteran who spent a year in Iraq, and I have an especially keen dislike for our current President. Myspace Backgrounds
I live for memorable moments--those moments you immediately think of when asked to describe the most incredible times of your life: Dancing in the rain after a long drought, landing on US soil after a year in combat (I felt EVERY emotion at the same time--it was powerful), drinking beer out of a Stetson at an Army buddy's wedding, seeing Big Sur for the first time... Writing, reading, making a mess of things in general. The dark mountain recesses...
FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH (will that day never come?)

You know who you are, you are the ones that watched over me because I watched over you. You are the ones that shared a bottle of Jack Daniels on a Christmas Eve so far from home. You are my heroes--the walking tall Cavalry Scouts that led the way home. 1-7 CAV GARRY OWEN! SSG Evey, SFC Mos--we all miss you guys. Every day. Rest in peace--we'll catch up at Fiddler's Green...eventually.
