I'd like to meet:
Don't be scared of the eyes -- just click them.
***I'm too lazy to sit down and seriously update it. I am finally out of the Army and living in Glendale, AZ getting the GI Bill for college. Which to a great extent, I feel like its simply wasting my time/life -- much like I felt about the Army. I hate, and will always hate bullshit. I don't mind learning, but the bullshit work I despise...especially when I know its worthless work. Give me a reason to do something, and I'm all for it.
To my Bandit brothers, yes, I know I don't have pictures posted of all our fallen brothers -- I still need to either add them, or simply put up their names.
I am keeping the old stuff here...mainly cause its still fairly accurate minus the Army stuff. However, I have removed my section on religion. I will not divulge my current religious beliefs unless asked. However, I will say that my views have changed considerably after the military.***
So -- I finally came to the cries of the masses -- to post an about me.
Alright -- maybe not a cry...or nearly anywhere close to "masses" -- but I figured I'd post something about myself regardless of my previous stance on it.
So yes -- I'm currently 25 years old, and no longer a slave to the Army. I've been deployed to Iraq twice, and support troop withdrawals. The current situation is political, and not militarily. I goto school, work, and am ready to retire.
I am originally from Yuma, Arizona -- graduated from Cibola HS back in 2001. Went to the University of Arizona for about a year. Then Arizona Western College for about a year -- then for some odd reasons, decided to join the Army...
I no longer care about traveling -- I have seen many castles, and one thing that is common with just about all of them -- stairs. Tons and tons of stairs. Ultimately, unless you can go inside -- they're all roughly the same. I have had a Guinness in Ireland, and also walked upon the ancient ruins of Babylon in Iraq. I have seen some of the holiest shrines of Islam, and been to various cities within Iraq. Been to various Euro countries -- and have spent a lot of American converting to the Euro and Pound. Not cheap. I have seen the changing of the guard (UK). I have been to Kuwait, Qatar (very nice). I've almost crashed in a plane (engine went out, emergency landing, fire trucks, men in silver suits waitings for us, sprinted 500 meters away from plane, etc), and have flown so much now that I'm utterly sick of it. I have assisted with 23 memorial ceremonies (ie. funerals) for fallen soldiers and friends. I have become numb to death, and the thought of death no longer truly bothers me. Makes me think back to War Craft II footsoldier -- "Join the Army the said, see the world they said -- I'd rather be sailing!" -- That just about sums up my feelings.
Anyway, my interests are mainly listed on the side (and bottom) -- and they for the most part describe what kind of person I am. I do not label myself with any particular group -- but when push comes to shove, I'll deem myself a nerd or geek. Even though I believe I lack the stereotypical intelligence required for such labels. I ascribe much more praise to wisdom than anything else. I can get along with just about anyone -- unless someone is bent on being hateful.
I do not like to argue, and have given up debating, because I've seen the pointlessness that is involved. We can argue for hours, but in the end we're not going to change our views unless something personal occurs. I dislike relationships -- but never put them totally out of the question. Too many people prefer to make relationships far more complicated than they truly are. Yes, they do include work, but communication, and trust are key to any relationship. Without those...it will eventually fail. On a more personal side...people irritate me. If I allow you into "my space" you've passed my personal test (ie. Where I'd want to spend time with you). I believe that our current society is horribly corrupted, at almost every level. But -- even amid this crazy world -- people are still people. And deserve the respect that every human being deserves. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Love one another...regardless of how irritating they may be.
I am not a hateful person. I am rarely ever angry. I am rarely ever stressed. I am rarely ever involved in drama. I am almost always smiling, and will talk to just about anyone -- granted they talk to me first. I guess I am shy in the speaking sense, unless I have a reason to talk. I have come to regret various things of my past -- but know that they are a part of me, even though some of them I wish hadn't ever happened...thus the regret...
Ultimately, I am a private person. I am the guy that has no problem eating alone, going to movies alone, shopping alone, and the like. I am also extremely thoughtful, and understand people to a good extent. It is easy to walk all over me. However, I have my own limits, and if felt that I'm truly being used -- will cut that person off from me.
Anyways -- yes, that is a little bit about me. I have been told I can be complicated, but I feel that I'm quite simple.
Take care and stay safe,
~Jeff
