About Me

You're only as Beautiful as Your Last Thought
www.REICHEN.us

I was born on 26 December 1973 at General Hospital in Cincinnati Ohio, to a policeman and a nurse. At the age of 8, I moved, with my family to Massachusetts, where I finished grade school and high school. At 18, I left for Colorado Springs to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy, graduating with the Class of 1996. My first assignment as a 2nd Lieutenant was at Los Angeles Air Force Base, where I focused on Space Communications and Systems Acquisitions. I moonlighted as a "Bacardi Boy" at various clubs and events, representing the product to make extra money to afford to live in L.A. I worked three nights a week at a gym in Manhattan Beach for the same reason. I started modeling during this time as well, when it would fit around my Air Force Career. After three years I was re-stationed in Charlottesville, VA at the University of Virginia to serve on faculty in the Air Science Department and to do my Masters Degree. After two years in Virginia, I separated from the Air Force as a Captain. I remained a Captain in the inactive Air Force Reserves, but moved back to Los Angeles, a city that I grew to love. While in L.A. I called up my old modeling contacts and began working, again, in the industry. I started Tribe Airways, a private charter brokerage service for Private Jets, with my business partner, Stephen Freund. After two years of working this business, I applied to law school and was set to go in the fall of 2003. However, while visiting a local bar/restaurant in L.A. I was asked by a casting director to audition for a show called "The Amazing Race", on CBS. I was cast on the show with Chip as my partner, and we ended up winning the show and it's million dollar prize. This appearance opened up a television career for me, allowing me to appear on shows such as The Drew Carey Show, Frasier, The Young and The Restless, Days of Our Lives, and others. I now have my own talk show on the Q Television Network called, "The Reichen Show". I have written a book, called "Here's What We'll Say" about my experiences at the U.S. Air Force Academy which will be published and available September of 2006. It is now on pre-sale on Amazon.com.Here is the link to get my book.CLICK HERE
The Lyrics to "Afternoon Delight". Keeps it.
Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold him tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Repeat chorus.

WWJB: WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB

The 10 Rules of Life
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
