I am here for Friends

About Me

Born and raised in OC California, I've moved on and out to Las Vegas. Too many people back home. And by people I mean retards, idiots, assholes and so on. And its just too damn expensive. Actually, theres still dumbasses here, but its cheaper to live here, and more fun. Its not so much different here than any other sububia in California, only theres slot machines at albertsons. I'm still waiting for my thyroid problem to work itself out, so I can hopefully get into the Air Force and do something fun. To be honest I dont really care about meeting people here on Myspace, as that has already happened. I'm just here to stay in touch with people I give a damn about.

My Interests

My 2006 Toyota Matrix XRS!! My Roxanne. Military history. Computers. Cars. Planes. I absolutly love learing how things work, taking them apart if I have access. Driving, especially in bad weather. German, took it in high school and college, was soo much fun!

Moving to Vegas

Yeah, thats right. Roxanne and I are moving to Las Vegas next month. Got a kick ass apartment about 4 miles from the strip. For half of what it would cost in OC. Peace out.

radioactive man

Lets see here...20 hours after taking 10.3 millicuries of Iodine 131, I dont really feel anything. The radiologist had this solid lead container. Opened it up, and reached in with tongs to grab the pi...

Iodine 131

Well, shortly I will be ingesting a "large" quantity of radioactive iodine. Specifically Iodine 131. My doctor estimates roughly 5-10 millicuries. Something about the thought of intentionally exposing...
