I love being a mechanic. I have a thirst for new knowledge and like to figure out how things work. I am the one who volunteers to do a job that I have never done before. I like to just hang out with the guys and watch some sports...doesn't matter which one, ok...not NASCAR! I like to get in my Chiefs gear with my daughter and watch a nail-biting Chiefs game...they're always nail-biters. My wife will kill me if I don't say something about hanging out with the family...just kiddin babe...I love to go to the park with Shannon and Hannah and hog the ball on the basketball court! I love to play sports...Ill try any sport once..which also means I try to stay in pretty good shape. I will be one of those old guys in his 60s still jogging on the side of the road! I love to sing and love even more to sing for congregations at church. I like to put together IKEA furniture...lol...or anything crafty that Hannah comes up with. I like to put models together, but it takes me about 2 years to finish one..lol. I love to take a trip to Blockbuster with the family, go through the movies, and pick something out that we all can watch, doesn't matter what...ok..no Brats videos Hannah...come home, pop some popcorn and plop down in front of the TV and watch it. Call me crazy but I love to drive, I find it relaxing, except when Im stuck in traffic! I listen to music when Im stressed or arguing with my wife...I know, it drives her crazy...lol. The best days are when it ends with a cook out on the grill while Shannon works in the yard. , I love to be a leader in my professional life..I would say take care of my soldiers, but Im not in the Army anymore...so..subordinates. Most of all and above all things in my life, I love my family and love being a father...nothing can replace that.
Like I said before, I love to sing, so I listen to music that I can sing along to and can hear the lyrics! Putting 2&2 together eliminates Rap, Hip-Hop, and any other groups that grunt, growl, yell, or cuss every other word and then call it music. You can't beat the classics, now that was music!
I love a good comedy, you know its good when your cheeks hurt from laughing so much! Im married so I get stuck watching chick-flicks with Shannon. I like a good educational movie or a movie based on a true story...Pursuit of Happyness was good! Love my action flicks...Independence Day, Minority Report, Bad Boys II, Enemy of the State...just to name a few...anything with Will Smith in it is a good action flick. But the best is going to the movies with my Hannah and watching a good animated movie with her.
I love my Seinfeld...you either love it or hate it...no in between. King of Queens cracks me up. American Idol when its on.
I don't read books like I used to, but the best book series I have read was the Left Behind series detailing the events of life after Christ comes back and the lives of the people who are left behind. That's the most reading Ive done in a long time...12 books!
My heroes are good and bad leaders that I have encountered in the Army that helped mold me into the leader I am today.
