I am here for Networking

About Me


obviously, my name is dave. i graduated York County's TRFA 106, im thinkin about goin to take emergency medical tech-intermediate classes. i used to go to tommy tech for a bit, then went to ODU. then i realized id be wastin too much money there and left. i like to chill with my friends, the B.D.C., i love to drink but gave it up for a while, especially when it comes to takin beer bongs. im a pretty laid back kind of guy, but i dont take anyones shit. i like romantic evenings and long walks on the beach.....not really.....but seriously.....i cant really think of anythin else to put in here right now, so if you want to know more, just ask.

My Interests

I like to party as much as i can without it interferin with what i need to get done. I love to just chill cuz im not too outgoin. I teach taekwondo at the nearest school and i work at the YC fire duece, C shift. I teach at World Martial Arts under Grandmaster Ko. He's an awesome instructor although i hate gettin my ass beat for demonstrations with him. but, yeah, i like to fight and i guess that ive found a good outlet for some stress when i go to work. so is playin cards...:-). i got my first black belt 7 years ago and ive still been training since. now i am a 3rd degree cuz i cant afford the testing fee for 4th.

I'd like to meet:


Music:

i like to listen to a wide range of music: yellowcard, blues traveler, trapt, staind, 50 cent, ludacris, limp bizkit, 3 doors down, disturbed, hoobastank, and an ass load others.....

Movies:

i must say that my favorite movie of all time has to be the matrix...i dunno why but i like movies that have a more in depth meaning than what most people would see in just watching a movie. although i liked the rest of the trilogy, nothin can beat the original. i also like to watch movies like pitch black, mission impossible, all the james bond films, resident evil, minority report, i robot, scary movies like 'house on haunted hill' because im phobic about retarded people, i like the notebook is i was told to...., ive seen all of the bruce lee movies and im workin on the rest of the jackie chan films, call me a dork but i like the harry pot head films, and ladder 49.

Books:

i cant read

Heroes:

i would have to say that the greatest heroes in the world would have to be those that gave their lives on sept. 11. they knew that if they went into the fire, most of them were not coming down. yet, they still went in anyway, and if it werent for them, the death toll would have been a lot higher.
The Difference Between Strength and Courage
It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.
It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to hide your own pains,
It takes courage to show them.
It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.
It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live
