About Me

I am 21 years old, Born in New Glasgow Nova Scotia Canada where I lived about 14 years before my family moved to the United States in 1999. Had the interesting opportunity of living in two states Florida (City of PERRY), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County-COLLEGEVILLE then ROYERSFORD), less then 30 minutes from good old Philly. Graduated From Perkiomen Valley High School Class of 2003 worked a little after high school at a great store called ACME where I was a manager/asst manager of the Dairy dept. I then decided to move back home to Canada To serve my country in The Canadian Armed Forces-Land Force Army Regular Force(Active). I am currently training with The Royal Canadian Regiment and when all the training is done I am hoping god willing to go to Afghanistan in the coming year or so. I am Canadian Conservative and American Republican but I love talking to people who have different ideas and beliefs, besides for some odd reason at least 45%/50% of my friends are Democrats and Canadian Liberals so go figure. I am a night owl, I don't usually hit the sheets till 5:00 am and no matter how much I try I just can not go to sleep when the sun is down. I drive a Ford Pick up truck V8 4X4 of course, that there is thanks to living in the best part of America the South. I love tattoos, I have two large ones on my left and right arms. Left arm has the Royal Arms of Scotland/Nova Scotia, Right arm has a large wolf howling with a large Canadian Map Leaf in the back ground. The only people I can't stand are people who show a cold shoulder to their service men and women, because even thou for your own reasons or views you don't like/support the current conflicts and operations you don't in my mind have the right to not show respect to the men and women who serve and have died honorably for their nations.MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider

I'd like to meet:

If given the opportunity there is a never ending list of people for whom I care to meet, but to narrow it down I would have to stick to historical figures. (1) Sir William Wallace: Considered one of Scotland's greatest heroes, thanks to his opposition to English rule under Edward I in the 13th century. In 1297 Wallace and his army drove the English from Scotland and then boldly invaded northern England. In December of 1297 Wallace was elected Guardian of the Kingdom and began to rule Scotland. In 1305 he was arrested by the English and hanged, then disemboweled, beheaded, and quartered. The next year Robert I (Robert the Bruce) raised the rebellion that eventually won independence for Scotland.(2)Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson: Undoubted the most influential General and figure of the American Civil War. He got his nickname at the First Battle of Bull Run, where he and his men “stood like a stone wall.”(3)General Sir Arthur William Currie: General Currie was the first Canadian commander of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Western Europe during the First World War. Currie was among the most successful Allied generals of the war and is still considered one of the finest commanders in Canadian military history. (4)Martin Luther King, Jr: A great man who advocated social change through non-violent means. His writings and public appearances helped change the social status and old caste system of America and many parts of the world. "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"(5)Dale Earnhardt: The greatest driver and legend of NASCAR & Auto Racing in general. The Intimidator" had 76 career wins and won the Winston Cup championship seven times tied only with "The King" Richard Petty.(6) Winston Churchill: This inspiring man was a Soldier, politician and finally prime minister. He will forever be known as one of Great Britains and the Commonwealths greatest 20th-century heroes. There are so many more figures of various times and generes but not enough time or space to mention them all.Get Your Own! | View SlideshowGet Your Own Voice Player Manage
