I love to fight for freedom where ever there is trouble, over land, sea, and air. Go Joe!
I'm a laid back kind of guy. However, here is my list of people I would really like to meet:comic book artistis and writers, a little miniature Buddha all covered in fur, members of the mob, key politicians with no morals, rock stars, brewers of Heineken beer, and fellow world travelers. Basically anyone who will make life just a little more interesting. Oh, and of course this guy in the video.Download this video
