About Me

"I will take loyalty over perfection."
-Keith "Philly" Fidura
In summation, I'm a twenty-three-year-old U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant from Georgia. Most people wouldn't guess my origin because I learned to speak in the Midwest, therefore I do not have an accent. I've been in the service for five years and I have two to go. I owe everything to the Air Force, however I'm planning to get out after my "wonderful" tour here in Alaska. I'm not bitter, just indifferent. I'm aggressively pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Sadly, I probably won't be able to finish in my tour here, so when I get out I plan to go to school full time. I'd like to get at least a Master's in the long run. That aside, I'm an Army brat. My parents split when I was young and it wasn't until I joined the Air Force that I got really close with my father. My parents have given me unfailing love and support, and for that I am grateful. I've been through some pretty crazy stuff for my young age. While this has made me a better man, I've found that I have a hard time connecting with a lot of people my age. Because of this, my focus here is education. I'd certainly love to meet people on the way and I consider myself a very friendly and outgoing person. I enjoy rock climbing, so if that's your thing, let me know. I have an impossibly confusing, multi-faceted personality, almost enough to make me believe in the zodiac. Wow, I'm rambling. I can't be described, not even by myself, so that's your cue to ask.

My Interests

rock climbing, music, movies, appreciating good things and good people, coffee, long drives with the music blasting, depressing books, dreary weather, this could go on forever....

I'd like to meet:

someone in this state 2.5 times the size of texas who isn't a completely cold-hearted, condescending hermit.

You Are a Boston Creme Donut
You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you.
But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft.
You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily.
You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out. What Donut Are You?
