When the rich wage war, its the poor that die

About Me

Buenos Dias, I’m Greg. My last name is pronounced (Keen). I am 26 years old, an unsuccessful, but moderately talented, singer/songwriter, a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, and a model citizen (I think). I returned from Fallujah, Iraq with my Chattanooga-based unit, Mike Battery 3rd Battallion, 14th Marines in March 2005 and we are about to redeploy . I would describe myself as fairly intelligent, funny, compassionate, easy going, extremely honest, emotionally strong, somewhat physically fit, and a good decision maker. If you like what you hear, leave a comment or a message and let me know what you think. When it comes to what I like to listen to my top 5 are Matt Nathanson, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Counting Crows and Dashboard Confessional...in that order.


My favorite color is blue. I love to play poker, Halo 3 online, and soccer. I can play just about any sport well with the exception of golf, but I still like to play it. I will do just about anything to make someone laugh. I love Family Guy, Prison Break, the Colbert Report, South Park, Sportscenter, Scrubs, ABC Family (Gilmore Girls rocks!!!) and just about anything on Animal Planet . My favorite food is Outback’s Alice Springs Chicken and my favorite drink is Woodchuck.



My favorite movies are Donnie Darko, Crash, 300, Shoot Em Up, Sin City, Jarhead, Anchorman, the Departed, Life as a House, Rounders, Boondock Saints, Supertroopers, and all the Harry Potter movies...I’m totally into the Harry Potter craze...don’t judge me. I like cool, windy, autumn days, and warm summer nights (hope that doesnt sound too homo). My biggest fears are being alone forever, dying in a plane crash, and paper cuts (ouch they hurt!). I’m a tee shirt and jeans kind of guy with the occasional button down or polo. As far as my goals, I aspire to be a great husband/father, a moderately famous musician, and to win a World Series of Poker bracelet by the age of 28 (at this rate I don’t think I’ll make it). I am currently working on becoming a high school English teacher and soccer coach...if that doesn’t work I’m going to try out something in law enforcement. Yeah...I want to be poor, lol. Thanks for stopping by.
