I'd like to meet:

People with the same interests as me who like to have a good time.

Music:

I like all kinds of music, what ever strikes the mood. I got tunes in the trucks, tunes in the garage, tunes in every room of the house. Music is an everyday part of my life.

Movies:

Band of Brothers, All the Pretty Horses, Snatch, Trainspotting, Pitch Black, are a few of my favorites. I just saw The Proposition an Australian movie, it was really good.

Television:

UFC!!!! Law & Order SVU and Scrubs I don't have much time to watch TV, I LOVE DVR!!!

Books:

A Table in the Presence- Cary Cash a book about Marines in the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Chapter 4 is about my cousin Shane. Cary Cash was his Chaplain.

Heroes:

My cousin- Therrel Shane Childers, 1LT, 1/5 USMC KIA 21MAR 03 Rumala Iraq Shane gave his life for a country who didn't know him. He lived his life for those of us who did.My Dad- Greg Walker, he gave his right arm for his livelihood. He's given me life, hope, judgement, and a life full of experience before turning me out on my own.Last but not least, both my Papaw's, now gone to be with the Lord. Two very different men, yet both were loyal, hard working and taught their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids how to be upstanding men and women who are an asset to society. Work hard, play hard, love one another and be there for your family, friends & neighbors. I know they are in heaven tellin stories to anyone who'll listen.
