About Me

Not too much to me really, just your average hang out near the park in my windowless van full of puppies and candy kind of guy.I'm in Iraq having a GREAT time. It's like Groundhogs Day san Bill Murray. What more could a guy ask for than slightly above welfare income? Not much more my friend, not much more. On the bright side, eating cafeteria food from a styrofoam box is getting me ready for the exciting and lurid world of Salvation Army Thanksgiving meal lines. Its refreshing to know I'll be prepared to be a "professional" bum someday.To keep my sanity I grapple and lift at the gym. Its blows off the steam, what am I talking about...there's no steam! I'm doing great (See above paragraph)! The gym is actually pretty decent, with the exception of the, how should I put it, homonationaliusguardium that choose to work out in packs of 5 or more and take up the benches just to watch each other life about 120 pounds grunting like birthing mothers.So stop by, drop me a line, say "Hi Rod, how ya doin buddy?" and so on....

My Interests

MMA and the stock market. Day traders unite!!!! Lets break the bank, raid the floor and SELL SELL SELL!!! PORK BELLIES!!!!The stock market and MMA have alot in common. If you don't know what your doing...you're going get FUCKED UP!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet the guy with my DD-214. God bless that man.I'd like to meet the guys who invented the Geneva Conventions and kick them in the nuts.

Music:

Country mostly but I listen to alot. I steal alot of music so Im not about to get picky. Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley, Rick Ross, The Ataris, Plain White T's, and Flobots.

Movies:

"SPEED RACER" If you can survive the seizure it kicks ass! Im a big Comic Book Movie fan, waiting for the Hulk, Superman and the new Batman. Yeah, I know my nerd is hanging out but you can't get your eyes off it can you???

Television:

30 Rock, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Justice League!Tina Fey...amazing...simplya amazing.

Books:

James Cramer got me Mad For Life! If it can make me money its worth the read. For fun, Brad Thor and Andy McNabb.

Heroes:

Vets who got out and kicked ass at life, rich people who aren't afraid to be rich, artists who tell critics to fuck of, critics who tell artists to fuck off, and little kids who are still cute enough to get away with touching boobs and asking their parents if the fat guy who just walked in is going to eat all the food loud enough for everyone to hear. That kid ROCKS!
