You Only Live Once...But If You Do It Right, Once Is Enough

About Me

..
www.layoutpimper.comExtended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!My life is truly blessed and I can honestly say that I'm happy, successful and love to have fun. I work hard, play hard and believe that things aren't worth doing unless you give it your all. My motto in life is "You only live once, but if you do it right - once is enough :)"Tribute For The Fallen: "If You're Reading This", performed by Tim McGraw live at the ACM's.

My Interests

My primary interest is my work with Operation Troop Appreciation. www.operationtroopappreciation.org I am Vice President and I work hard to support our brave men and women deployed all over the world.I love to do anything outdoors, golf, whitewater rafting, camping, hiking, biking. There is so much to do and so little time, but I enjoy the city of Pittsburgh and all it has to offer culturally. I like knowing I live in a place where you can get all dressed up and have one of the best meals one night and wear jeans and your Steelers shirt to a bar down the street the next - and be equally comfortable in both.My interests run from one end of the spectrum to the other.

I'd like to meet:

I'm into meeting those who feel as I do about our troops and anyone who might be interested in acting on those beliefs and become part of Operation Troop Appreciation. Drop me a line and I'll tell you all about our efforts!

Music:

I like all kinds of music with the exception of rap and hip/hop. I typically switch channels between new rock, classic rock, country and talk radio. Love to dance and enjoy hitting the karaoke stage as well. What can I say? I'm just a big ham at heart :)

Movies:

I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'd have to say chick flicks are my top choice. But I love all movies really as long as it's well done. Action, thriller, mystery, comedy - it's all good!

Television:

Law & Order shows, the Apprentice, ER and Fox News are about all the TV I really watch. Unless I'm cuddled on the couch with someone, I am usually off doing something instead of being a couch potato.

Books:

I love to read, but usually only have time to on airplanes. Thankful that I travel a lot for my job, as I get to read quite a bit that way.

Heroes:

My father (deceased) and all the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the armed forces. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

My Blog

Bring them Home?

My friend has a theory about Iraq and what America should do in order to bring our troops home.  She thinks that we should stop providing aid to any country that harbors terrorists.  No foo...

Just Another Infidel

Like many of you, I have been following, with much interest the story about the "Bargain Mats" e-mail and subsequent fallout.  As a troop supporter, I decided to weigh in on this matter.  M...

A Soldier Died Today

I don't blog that often, but sometimes, my emotional state forces me to write so I can move past something.  Today is one of those days.  I am working in South Bend this week, having flown o...

Pirates, Fireworks and Being Invicible

Road Hazards

I woke up this morning and said, "enough is enough".  There is no reason why you should be overweight.  There is no reason why you should feel tired all the time.  You need to get your ...
