About Me

..
I don't know how to describe myself, and I guess it doesn't really matter. What matters is trying to be a good person. To swallow pride or anger when it will do nothing but bring out the worst in others. To believe in good will towards others beyond the Christmas season. Those are the things that define someone. No one but yourself will know about those moments, the thoughts you harbor good or bad. In my opinion that's what makes a good person.
Some Quotes I like:
"It may not always be a happy ending, but it should be the right one."
"Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier One died for your soul; the other for your freedom." I'm not particularlly religious but I still like it, good people are lost and the news doesn't always get to tell the world.
Life is good.
Just have to find what makes it good for you ya know?
What makes it good for me is Freedom. My freedom to live.

My Interests

Looking out the window and walking around a small town, going new places. I like things simple even though it doesn't always turn out that way. Country life is always an interest of mine.

I'd like to meet:

.. Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby

.. Mark Schultz- Letters From War

....

.. The Accolade ; Edmund Blair Leighton

..

Music:

Whatever's on I'm pretty diverse, but love country and the 80's.

Movies:

Flags of our Fathers, What Dreams May Come, The Shawshank Redemption, The Postman, Serenity, I am Sam, The Jacket, Donnie Darko, City of Angels, The Departed, Equalibrium.

Television:

I don't care about whats on TV. I did enjoy fixing cable TV as a civilian though.

Books:

1984, Harry Potter series, Sword of Truth Series, The Lies of Locke Lamora, Red Seas under Red Skies, Stephen Coonts Novels, Fantasy.

Heroes:

I haven't met a soul who is comfortable being called a hero. I believe we invent heros to better ourselves, and they become heros by letting others see what they want to see.
