About Me

Born and raised in Philadelphia, with a 5 year tour in New Jersey. I was a high school drop (as you can tell from this writing) I recommend that everyone finish high school! Any way at the young age of seventeen I signed up to be a soldier in the United States Army. The best decision of my life, it may of save me the fate of no skills no job for the rest of my life. I learned a lot and traveled all over Europe for the most part. I did do some time in Macedonia, and Bosnia. I missed both of the Middle East wars and I am proud to say that in the 20 years I spent in the service I did not fire a shot at another living thing. Not to say that I'm a pussy and could not have done it. The way I always looked at it is "its me or him" I prefer to be the winner. So I retired and now live in Alaska. What do I do for work after 20 years in the Army? I'll never tell (don't want to get stoned). I have been married going on 20 years and have a teenage son "the sun and moon of my life."

My Interests

I like to run, read, games, watch movies, ride bikes, fix bikes, fix stuff, and try different things. I find that I cannot not try something new. I feel like if I don't at least try it once I may miss something. Of course this approach can cost a bit of money and cause a lot of (shit) to fill the closets LOL.

I'd like to meet:

Who would I like to meet? "I meet people everyday and sometime I even like a few of them." I don't really want to meet any one person. But since I am in a place that has some 74 million people in it I guess it would have to be people with the same interest. Don't get me wrong I will talk with just about anyone.

Music:

Music is kind of like my interest list I listen to just about anything. System of a Down to Andris Segovia. I do not find myself stuck in the past (70's and 80's) I try to keep up to date.

Movies:

I have the few I always tend to watch when all else fails. True Lies (Jamie Lee Curtis) Robocop, Total Recall, Shawshank Redemption, and The Crow. This list could go on for a while. But these are my fail save movies when I am not sure what to watch.

Television:

TV is one of those things I could do with out if it were not for DVD's. Not much of a TV buff. But when I do tune in it is for shows like Lost, Friends, House and the such.

Books:

Just finished the Cell (Stephen King) I enjoyed it. I read whatever catches my eye.

Heroes:

Anyone who gives one hundred percent. We live in a time where it is easy to take short cuts.
