About Me

Well there isn't too much to say. I am 21 years old, currently serving in Iraq. I really do not have as exciting of a life as most people my age are having, but oh well, its sure to pick up again here shortly. Its funny I really, really miss home. I have been out of the U.S. now for 3 years. Spending most of my time in Europe and Southwest Asia I have really only been home for a total of about a month. This lifestyle has really shown me how important the home life is. Before leaving all I ever wanted to do was get outta town, without ever really realizing what I had and who I was leaving behind. By that I mean my Mom, Father, Brothers, Aunt, Uncle and even dog. I had good friends and great memories from there but I am also glad that I got out on my own a little. Great experiences travelling, meeting some crazy ass people along the way and really fulfilling alot of curiousity about the world in which we all live. I plan on attending WSU (Again!) and I am gonna go to school to be a veterinarian. We'll see, but as of now I am just "rolling with the PUNCHES."

My Interests

Sports: All and every kind.They are like my passion. One of my life long goals is to always be active in sports and to try and keep my body as well as mind sharp. Now that I am getting older I have fallen from the high school sports era and I am more into things like Snowboarding, backpacking, running, camping, outdoorsy stuff. I still love a great game of football, basketball and baseball and I love with a passion to watch sports. Sports and Activity are my life!I love animals! They are so innocent and just trying to get by like the rest of us. Humans are the only animals to fear. Yes I say animals because we are in my opinion.The outdoors, Secluded areas, Mountains, Beaches, Rivers, Lakes, anywhere quiet that provides for a relaxing vacation. Travelling of course.Love food of all kinds. The more variety, the better. Preferably Home made but I'll eat out and even hit up Gut Burger every now and again.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Mostly Country music. Because of its simplicity it is pretty relaxing. I especially like it when traveling or road trippin'. I own lots of CDs that are about 80 percent country. The other stuff consists of a little of everything depending on the situation and mood.

Television:

Most of the time TV is boring but I love my daily dose of Sportscenter. I will watch all the ESPN channels, the News, Weather, History, NGC and CMT sometimes. I really like TV right before bedtime.

Books:

I like to read about real things; True Crime, History, Sports and Adventure Travel. True Crime offers views into the minds of some crazy ass people. I've always been a huge history nerd. There is alot to learn from the past. I get alot of ideas from adventure travel and sports books.

Heroes:

They Know who they are.
