About Me

Okay, you want to know about me...
I see myself as well mannered, intelligent, and an all-around gentleman. At least, that is what I try to be. I enjoy spending time with my family, football, technology as a whole, and the outdoors. I like to be healthy and in-shape, but not obsessively. I also love a challenge. My biggest pet pieve is when I am told that I am not capable of doing something. Do that and I will do whatever it was (within reason) that you told me I couldn't do. Speaking of challenges...
I was recently accepted into the Active Reserve program with the USMC as an Instructor and Inspector...
I have a gorgeous wife and three of the best sons ever! The twins were born June 18th of 2007.
I am excited about watching my children grow up and being the best father that I can to them. I have found that this can be the biggest challenge of my life, I can only hope to succeed.
Well, that 's me, any questions, feel free.Oh, I almost forgot... My buddies and I started a website... Make sure to check it out!Link below...

My sign: Taurus

In Taurus we find one of the most ancient of all signs, with links right back to pre history. Rules by Venus, goddess of fertility, Taurus is the sign of new life, growth and richness. Their symbol, the Bull, is the ultimate of fertility symbols and plays a major role in fertility worship. Even the bull's horns represent fertility, growth and regeneration. They personify the quintessential concept of spring in all its aspects. That's why Taureans make such wonderful gardeners and have such wonderful gardens and love flowers.
Ruled by the Bull, people often mistakenly think that Taureans are ‘bull headed’ and stubborn, when in fact they’re not. They certainly know their own mind, but they don’t stand their ground because of ‘bull headedness’ or stubbornness, rather because of their own high expectations and awareness of what they want and they’re prepared to stand up for that.
Venus, a planet of exquisite beauty, rules Taurus. Venus rules two signs, Taurus and Libra, but each share a different side of Venus. Here Venus is a very real and a hands on Venus. She brings a sense of beauty and all Taureans have a love of beautiful objects and for the beauty of nature.
As an earth ruled sign, it’s not enough for a Taurus to be able to imagine something, as Air ruled Libra does, they want to be able to see and touch it, for it has to be real. Beauty in all its aspects is important to Taureans and beauty and pride in their appearance is paramount. Taureans live in a very symmetrical world, where things need to be just right so that they fit into your concept of how they should be and look. Because of this they’ve developed a sense of patience and willingness to keep going at something until they get it right. Rushing through something and doing a half ‘okay’ job won’t do. It’s got to meet their standards of beauty. Maybe that’s seen as stubbornness by some people?
As a Venus ruled sign, Taureans share a lot of the characteristics of Venus, who like us all has both her positive and negative qualities. She is a complex goddess and while she brings love, pleasure and passion, if she doesn’t get what she wants she could also get very jealous. While Taureans are prone to jealousy, especially if they fear losing something they cherish, their very human nature means that they’re usually forgiven.
At the heart of all Taureans is a great sense of self love and love for everything and everyone around them. A happy Taurean is one that is surrounded with a loving home and family, a sensuous love life and whether they’re rich or poor, it will be filled with splashes of colour and items of beauty that means something to them.
As a very ancient sign, the past is also very important to a Taurus and there is bound to be a lot of mementoes around from past generations or from their own early life and childhood. For a Taurean roots are very important, and to know where they come from.
Taureans come from a time of year where there was great abundance. This is an energy that is very fertile, abundant and full of celebration. Because of this, Taureans love to eat well, to entertain and to celebrate. This can lead to excesses and as a sign, are probably more prone to excesses in diet and 21st century plenty. Whether they’re affluent or struggling financially, a Taurean will always aim to live to the upper extreme of their abilities. Living frugally is not for your average Taurean.
Taureans aren’t afraid of hard work. This doesn’t come from a work ethic itself, but because a desire for the good things in life motivates them to do well. They want more than their cosmic mates, so they work harder to get more. As they acquire more, they’ll work harder to keep it. This makes Taureans a little possessive from time to time, or is that obsessive?
Taurus is a very sensuous, loving and fertile sign and has a spring fresh quality that others are drawn to. There’s something luxurious in the aura they leave and they add a dash of colour into all of our lives.
