About Me


Yup! That is my young, dumb, and full of cum ass in the slide right below. Once upon a time, seven years and fifty-pounds ago, I was an honest to God sailor...
The other slides are a collection of photos that I shot on assignments covering our brave men and women at sea, in the air, and on land; of happy homecomings; of the suffering families of our young men who didn't make it back alive; and of the men who have fought gallantly before us in WWII during their return to Iwo Jima.

Ric, that's me, is a 32-year-old male from the sunny, but boring island of Guam in the western Pacific. I was raised in the mainland for the first half of my life in various states such as Nebraska, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and our nation's capital (and its outer areas). I attended two years of high school at William H. Hall High School in West Hartford, Ct. where I played football and my favorite sport in the world, Lacrosse. I moved back to Guam when I was 16, graduated from Father Duenas Memorial High School in 1994, and later joined the U.S. Navy like my grandfather, father, and uncles before me (that's about 60 years of continuous service from my family. I was the last to carry the torch). I served four years (prior to 9/11) as an Aviation Machinist Mate 3rd Class working on fuel/engine systems and as a trouble shooter/final checker for the most awesome aircraft ever built, the F-14 A/B Tomcat, with the mighty VF-32 Swordsmen (Deus Et Patria) out of Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, Va. I completed two overseas cruises to the mediterranean and Persian Gulf. My final cruise was a "war" cruise where we made like Outkast and dropped Bombs Over Baghdad in support of Operation Desert Fox and flew operations over Bosnia and such. I later got out of the Navy and attended the University of Guam, where I graduated Cum Laude in 2003 with a communications degree (with emphasis in journalism). I worked for the Navy Public Affairs Office on COMNAVMAR, and moved on to the Pacific Daily News, where I worked as a photojournalist for about three years; first as a intern, then a freelancer, and last as a staff employee. I recently quit my job as an aide for the Lieutenant Governor of Guam, Michael W. Cruz, M.D. and am currently training to become an Infantryman in the U.S. Army, with extended training to include Airborne School and the Ranger Indoctrination Program, to give our boys a hand in the Global War on Terror! I can be your best friend, a shoulder to cry on, a big teddy bear to squeeze, or your worst enemy. I treat people the way I would like to be treated until they do me wrong, and then... I try to be fair, but am often times a real hardass and am very demanding of the people around me. I'm very giving, yet very selfish. I am very picky about the people I surround myself with. I like hard-working, fun, respectful people; and will drop you at the first sign of some ol' bullshit. I am completely extreme at all things I do and live my life on either side of the spectrum depending on how I feel. I am either very happy, or very sad. I am either very lazy or extremely hard working. I either love you, or hate you. I am ultra conservative and ultra liberal. I'm either heavily intoxicated or completely sober. I am either wide awake or knocked out. I either have no appetite and starve or eat everything in sight. I love to be at the center of attention but I also love anonymity. I try to live my life out of step with the rest of the world, yet I am very comfortable with conformity. I'm smart but dumb. I know shit about almost everything (So I think), but don't know shit about my own profession. I try to make life as difficult as possible and as easy as possible. I can work on a multi-million dollar aircraft, but don't know shit about cars. I can do many impersonations and love to to do them (But seem to be most known for my Eric Cartman impersonation). I'm out of the Navy, but I am worse than your grandfather or any other veteran you may know who won't let it go and will be a sailor till I die. But enough about me...Anchors Aweigh, drink to the foam, and Hooyah (Yes, hooyah. I'm a sailor, not a soldier!) mother fuckers! Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!*
*Uh, I guess I'm a soldier now, right? Well, I'm still a fuckin' Sailor! I'm just here to give the Army a hand!

My Interests


You're A Passed Out Drunk
Drinking gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, until you're thrown in the back of a police car... What Kind of Drunk Are You?LET'S GO BOSTON!!!!

Eating, sleeping, traveling, shopping (when I have the money for it), listening to music, reading books and a variety of magazines for entertainment and non-fiction for learning, watching TV for entertainment; learning; and to keep up with pop culture, collecting fitted baseball caps (I love my hats), being pierced and tattooed, going to the movies, turning it up to 11 and getting super-ripped off of Jim Beam and Coke with my Crue. I love to hang out and get piss-drunk and make my girlfriend laugh her ass off, hanging out with said girlfriend and just relaxing from the damage to my liver from the night before, and just learning new things.Myspace Layouts

"THIS ONE'S FOR THE WORKERS WHO TOIL NIGHT AND DAY. BY HAND AND BY BRAIN, TO EARN YOUR PAY...WE'RE THE FIRST ONES TO STARVE, WE'RE THE FIRST ONES TO DIE. THE FIRST ONES IN LINE FOR THAT PIE IN THE SKY, AND WE'RE ALWAYS THE LAST WHEN THE CREAM IS ALL SHARED OUT, FOR THE WORKER IS WORKING WHEN THE FAT CAT'S ABOUT...AND WHEN THE SKY DARKENS AND THE PROSPECT IS WAR, WHO'S GIVEN THE GUN AND PUSHED TO THE FORE, AND EXPECTED TO DIE FOR THE LAND OF OUR BIRTH, THOUGH WE'VE NEVER OWNED ONE LOUSY HANDFUL OF EARTH!!!

(Boys on the Docks)

You name it, I probably have it. Put it this way, I have surpassed 10,000 songs on my Ipod, and the collection keeps growing. I am not afraid to say that I love everything from punk (Misfits, Social Distortion!, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Bad Brains etc.) to metal (Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Danzig, Metallica, etc.), to rap (old Ice Cube, Public Enemy, etc.), to hip hop (Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Talib Kweli, A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, etc.), to jazz (Miles Davis, John Coltrane), to Blues (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf), to pop (Yeah, I have the Spice Girls and Hanson in my collection, want me to kick your face in?), to grunge (Mudhoney, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and more...), to country (George Strait, Clint Black, Junior Brown, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks), to some of the new stuff out that I haven't really figured out what to categorize them as (My Chemical Romance, Death From Above 1979, Death Cab For Cutie [although I know they have had several albums in the past], Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Story of the Year), to straight up alternative rock (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, etc.), 80's music (Duran Duran, the Go-Gos), classic rock (The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Crosby Stills And Nash, Hendrix, etc.), to ska (The Specials, Madness, Hepcat, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, etc.), to hair metal (Poison, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Britny Fox, Ratt, Def Lepard, etc.), to whatever. I am not a bandwagon jumper-I just fucking love music in any form. As long as it moves me in some way, shape, or form. Music is my timeline. I use it to remember everything in my life. Ask me about an event in my life and I'll tell you what I was listening to and what I was feeling. Play me a song, and I'll tell you a story about what I was doing and maybe about what I was thinking. My collection is the soundtrack to my life. I have been to many places around the world, I have had many adventures (both good and bad) with different people and have a song for almost every memory. Next to life, this world we live in, and laughter; music is the most wonderful thing in my life.GET A NEW CONTACT TABLE + MYSPACE LAYOUTS red/black/ little white .r{}/style

No one's ever done that before. "One man's about to." I'll smoke it with ya bro. We'll go to the looney bin together, I don't give a fuck!). The Ringer ("When the fuck did we get ice cream? What am I fucking delirious?"). Clerks (I'm not even supposed to be here today!"), Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and motherfuckin' Mallrats ("Snootchie Bootchies, Brodie Nootchies!"
