THE LEXICON OF PROWESS

I'd like to meet:

I know a lot of people but keep an extremely small social circle. With regard to the people I do associate with, I like to associate with people who are focused, mature, intelligent, ambitious, eccentric, and open-minded. Oh, and I'm not too fond of selfish people...Anyway, check out this collage I recently put together. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Music:

INTERESTED IN QUALITY HIP HOP? THEN SUPPORT THESE GUYS! THIS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE...My tastes are wide and varied. I grew up on Hip Hop but am not pleased with its current state. I also listen to dance music, Latin music, rock, Heavy Metal, classic music (like my man Frank Sinatra), tribal music, etc.

BIG E SMALLS: THE BEST EVER... WAS FROM BROOKLYN!

What do you know about this? Here we have a video of DMX and JAY Z in a cipher sometime during the late 1990’s. That’s that New York City flow right there!

Movies:

Television:

My interests include Law and Order, The Sopranos, Frasier, Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, The Wire, The Bridge (old school New York City Hip Hop show), Secrets of New York (an excellent series that plays on local NYC television), Deadliest Catch, Just Shoot Me, National Geographic, etc.

Books:

Power Politics, Espionage /Cloak & Dagger, Organized Crime, Serial Crime, True Crime, World War II Intrigue, Extreme Politics, Power Politics, Military Science, New York City. I've logged every book I've read since 1996 and now have a reading list consisting of well over a hundred and twenty books.

Above and below are some wall-papers I downloaded from National Geographic, which is one of several magazines I subscribe to. Above we have an Australian Monsoon. Below we have Mount Semaru in Java. But is this all over your head? I mean, I know that the majority of the world is uneducated and ignorant, so I don’t know. LOL

Heroes:

My main man right here...
The Heroes of 9-11...
Police Officer Chris Amoroso is seen here helping a woman who can barely stand after the first tower collapse on 9-11. As the story goes, he saw a Fire Fighter helmet lying on the ground. He picked it up, placed it on his head, and said “I always wanted to be a Fire Fighter.” He then ran into the second tower. He was never seen again.

Above is a picture of Firefighters carrying the lifeless body of Father Mychal Judge, the Roman Catholic Priest who was assigned to the FDNY as their Chaplain. He was killed when the towers collapsed. Above right is a picture of the NY Fire Department presenting his Firefighter helmet to Pope John Paul II. Read about Father Judge! (There's also a DVD about him called "The Saint of 9/11".)
This girl is the standard against which all others should be compared! :P
Check out this hummer above me. You’re looking at a gaping hole left by 1 of 9 rockets that hit my boy’s hummer during a gun battle in Baghdad. You want to talk about bad days? His platoon ran out of ammo and they had to call in helicopter gun ships to come to their rescue! But you know, I asked why he still drives around with those holes in his hummer instead of patching them up, and his response was “I think it looks cool.” He also said that some of his soldiers were “traumatized” by the whole thing but that those soldiers are just “pussies.” LOL – That’s what I’m talking about! You gotta’ love it.
The New York Yankees are heroes to me although to be honest they are way overdue for another World Series Championship.
Pictured above is Army Sergeant First Class Paul R Smith, the first person to be awarded the Medal of Honor (the highest award possible) for actions taken in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Sergeant Smith's actions resulted in his death while saving the lives of more than 100 American Soldiers.
Pictured above is a famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. Many people rank him the second best president in the history of the US (with Abraham Lincoln at #1). I tend to agree.
Pictured above is one of the soldiers I had to bury. He was and is a true American Hero.
Here we have the Pennsylvania Army National Guard conducting a rescue mission in Afghanistan. This right here is pretty heroic, don't you think? I think so!
Here we have a painting depicting the Fighting 69th Infantry at Fredericksburg during the Civil War. I was a member of the Fighting 69th for 7 years. The 69th is based out of NYC and is one of the most decorated units in the entire military with 7 Medals of Honor at Battalion level. It's almost impossible to find another unit with more Medals of Honor.
This is a picture of my boy in Iraq after a bomb exploded under his hummer. The Hummer was flipped into the air but he miraculously survived. (He did, however, suffer several internal injuries that still bother him to this day.)
