Patrick

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

About Me


1. I'm relentless and unwavering in pursuit of my goals. I WILL overcome any obstacle that I face.

2. Don't mess with my family. They are my strength and my will, and I WILL get mine if you do.

3. I WILL NOT tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death's door.

4. Isaiah 54:17 KJV

Bi-polar, sadomasochistic tendencies....
Adrenaline junkie. Addicted to violence.
Carving up a guy like that...while he screams in his own blood and excrement. That'd be like...like a gift. A warrior's death.
Hell, he'd probably get off on it.

And I'm still goin' through it...(WHAT!), the pain and the hurt...(YEAH!) Soakin' up trouble like rain in the dirt...(YEAH!)

My Interests

Driving (Don't close your eyes for the crash; you'll miss the best part), mountain biking, hiking, skydiving, snowboarding, water sports, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, dirt bikes, off-roading, Texas Hold 'Em, barbecues, road trips, international traveling, working on vehicles, American Muscle, being part of a heist, and whatever else engages me at the time.
