About Me

Just got back from the Army and it's been a hero's welcome, thanks brothers, sisters, everyone for the warm welcome home. I feel like I'm still youthful and exuberant without being TOO immature (but it still happens from time to time). When I look in the mirror I don't see someone pushing thirty, I still see a silly kid who is happiest making people laugh, going to shows, and just being a character.I was in the Army for 4 years and it was fun and exciting obviously with deployment to Iraq and Korea. I know it's the past but as they say you never completely leave the desert. I am hoping I can take what I've learned to avoid making the same mistakes and make myself a better person. I often try to rise above humanity's problems and try to make some profound statement in life but in the end I am just a guy who enjoys kicking it at home with friends and family and having a beer.
