Friends
I love to meet new people. Those that have ambition in life. Some driving force that compels them to become greater everyday. Whether it be through faith, life experience, or education. I would love to use my profile to inspire, create laughs, and if nothing else just to allow people a window into my world through my blogs.
I think that life is already hard enough. Why not have some people help you through? Whether it be acquaintances you only know through the internet, someone you've only known for a day and found you here, or those you've known your whole life. I would love to meet someone on here that remembers me from the past. Old elementary school friends that moved away because of a PCS(permanent change of station for those of you who have no clue about military terms). Junior High School friends that I lost contact with through the years and maybe even a few old high school friends. Most of those I still know though. Hell I would even go as far as to say some more of my old Air Force acquaintances that I haven't been able to find. But then again I've found most of those on here.
Allow me to be part of your world as I allow you to be part of mine. Take a journey with me through life. The path has potholes that can easily be paved over. Speed bumps that can we can slow down for. Dead ends that a U-turn can always fix. So if you like anything you read send out a friend's request. I'm only human and if you are as well, then let's see how far this journey of life will take us before we part ways.
"If you don't know where you are going, any path will take you there?" Do you know where you are going?
I would like nothing more than to be your tour guide through life. But I can only guide you through the path that I know.
Hypothetically
O.k. So now here goes the list of people I would like to meet if I could, hypothetically of course.
Jesus, Dalai Lama, Mohammed, Ghandi, Albert Einstein, Napoleon, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, Frederick Douglas, Arthur Ash, Michael Jordan, Robert Frost, Jewel, Edgar Allen Poe, Bill Clinton(oh yes good ole Bill), Ronald Reagan, Anne Frank, Winston Churchill, Ron Jeremy, Eddie Murphy, Tony Blair(I love his speeches), Anne Coulter, Jessica Alba(she will always be my #1), Tupac, Christopher Wallace(aka B.I.G), Kurt Colbain, John F. Kennedy, Jenna Jameson, Ben and Jerry(I love your ice cream guys), Tony "The Tiger," Sponge Bob, The Pink Panther, Woody "The Woodpecker," Mickey Mouse, Goofy(me and him are a lot a like), Chris Rock, The Rock, Christopher Reeves(Superman), and many many other people that help inspire a generation. My hats off to all of you, even the cartoon characters. Maybe one day we can all be seated at a table by the right hand of the one almighty.

Alright so here are a few quotes, or should I say a quite lengthy list of quotes that help inspire me everyday.
