About Me

I'm 23 years old and in the US Navy. I'm currently stationed in Washington DC and I'm from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It's not the most exciting place in the world but in some ways I'm glad to be back in the area. I love to travel..my most recent trip was to Costa Rica in November. I consider myself lucky in the fact that I've lived in Italy for 2 1/2 yrs and Diego Garcia for a year and had a blast the entire time! What else....I like beer. Especially German beer. Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany was probably one of the best times of my life! I like staying inside sometimes playing video games. I also like being outside and fishing and being on the boat and things along those lines as well as buying new gadgets liked my iPod and PSP and other stuff. I like going to concerts (all kinds or rock including punk and alternative.) I like hanging out with my friends. I LOVE college basketball and my team is the Maryland Terrapins Basketbal! I can't stand the Duke Blue Devils or most teams from North Carolina for that matter. They piss me off. I like baseball and my favorite team is the Baltimore Orioles. I hate the Yankees with a passion. Football is where I catch the most shit. I like the Redskins and the Ravens. When they play each other I hate watching because I'm torn between the two but I've like the Redskins longer so I cheer for them.
