About Me

I'm not very good at summing myself up on profiles I don't think. I'm a soldier in the Army... see, that's a bad beginning. I'm not your typical soldier. Let's see...
At first glance I may seem a bit boring, but I like to think that I have layers... Like... an onion. Yeah, that's it. And the more you peel away... the more you cry? No, that's not right is it? Ok...
I'm introverted... introspective too. I enjoy a good debate, or as most people say: I "like to argue." Whatever truth there is to that, I value Truth highly; I would never argue something just for the sake of argumentation, at least not consciously... Hm, anyway, I think my highest virtue is Loyalty. I enjoy mythology and history to an extent, but I would like to persue science because I think it offers more for the future, both near and distant...
One thing that I've long wanted to accomplish is to become a published author. I see something noble in the capacity to create, not just anything, but something that will add meaningfully to the experiences of others. At the risk of sounding pretentious, something sublime. I've always loved reading, and I really appreciate the authors that have given so much life to their imaginations and have thereby enriched my life. If I can do the same for someone else, I believe I will feel truly accomplished.

Almost Done with the Army?

Well, my enlistment is almost up and I'm hoping against hope that they let me out of the Army on time.  Of course, the Army is doing its best to drive me crazy before that time comes.  Maybe...

First Day Back

8:27 AM - I've only done PT and already I'm dreading the next eight plus hours.  Well, they say first days are the hardest.  We shall see.  PT in the cold blows.  I'd forgotten tha...

Major update...

"Let me 'splain...  no, there is too much; let me sum up:" I'm back from Iraq! I bought a new car a couple of days ago (a new, albeit 2007, Hyundai Elantra) which I'm driving home on le...

'Not much in the mood to write, but...

Sorry all, for the long silence.  I'm still around, still, well, you know where.  And it seems for a bit longer than anticipated.  I now don't expect to be back before the beginning of ...

The Ultimate

A 'support the troops' group sent us all packages a while ago.  In mine was a free UFC DVD.  I finally got around to watching some of it (yes, I admit to falling prey to the thrill...

'Been a while

Leave it to the Army to send me on a bunch of goofy ('trying to be nice, here) missions.  I approach it the way I should, but I don't expect much out of it for the most part.  The bigge...

Steady as she goes...

I've been keeping up with my work-out schedule. Today marked my fourth time working out at the gym since I began (the day of my last entry). I lift free-weights and do cardio all in the same day ...

The question is not, "Am I going to regret this?"

It's how much. I just got done working out for the first time since I deployed. Wow. I have to say that I've also done a few push-ups and a scant few sit-ups, but it was nothing to this. I ran this ti...

Thoughts...

When I was younger, I sometimes thought of intelligence as almost a virtue unto itself.  Over the years, I have come to realize that it is a quality, and is far from ...

Merry Christmas and all that jazz

I hope everyone had (is having) a good time.  I'm sorry I didn't call you guys!  I did get a few hours off, but I ended up using them to sleep.  I miss you guys regardless, so, to me, i...
