About Me

RANDOM THOUGHTS I am a man of many things, I couldn't see how a person could do just one thing in life, I would get bored and then go insane. I am a musician (play bass guitar, a little piano n reg. guitar). Looking weird does not make you a good musician, it just makes you look weird. I am a soldier of the United States Army Reserves, my job is a construction engineer and kicking ass. I have been in for five years now and have seen and done things most people my age couldn't imagine. FAQ's, Yes I've been to Iraq, no I haven't Killed or shot anyone, haven't seen anything too F'd up like blood guts and death so I'm lucky I guess. I got rotator cuff tendonitus in both of my shoulders in basic combat training, it was one of the most painful things I have experienced. I later went and got a massage, paid and decided that it would be a good business for me so I am currently attending CCRI to get my degree in massage therapy and maybe get certified in personal training. Once I save up some cash I would eventually like to branch off into other ventures and ultimately have my own record company. Well that is me in a nut shell at the moment.
