I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, let's see. My name is John Jackson and I grew up on 372.4 acres of land in a little town located in the brush country of south TX named Pearsall. I have been in the military for the past five years and I am soon seperating; hoping to go back to my old lifestyle of ranching, but leaving all options open to what the future holds for myself. I do not regret my decision of joining the military, but at times, it seems that I don't belong here; I belong on a ranch, working cattle to provde the economy food to eat. A friend of mine once stated, "These are the hands that provide the food that feed the nation." I love being in the military and supporting this great nation that I have lived in for the past 24 years of my life. God bless Texas and God Bless the U.S.A. I have met one of the most amazing people one could ever ask for. I don't know how I ended up with this person, but she has changed my life in so many ways. I cannot wait to get back home to be able to wrap her in my arms and not let go. She means everything to me; her name is Stacy Lichtenberger.found this travel layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments buck myspace layout

My Interests

I guess you could say my interests are pretty much anything outdoors. I came from a ranch in south Texas, "God's Country", so I am really huge into hunting and fishing. Camping is one of the things that I love most. There is not anything more relaxing than going to the river with family or friends, sitting around a camp fire listening to the wood burning, enjoying the sound of the rapids flowing, and the birds chirpping. I love the whole "outdoors" thing. I have raced quads in the past, but wrecked one too many times, so I had to sell, before the horrible accident happened. So, too sum it up, like earlier stated, anything outdoors.

I'd like to meet:

I don't know that there is anyone in particular that I would like to meet. There are several famous people in todays society, but honestly, if it wasn't for us, the viewing public, they would not be there. Everyone plays a critical role in todays society, so there is not one person whom stands out above the other. Wheather it be the military or the poor civilians that beg and plead their ever so ritious belief to exist on this planet; I believe that everyone belongs to be here. This nation was formed on people who want a place to belong and now exist by the people who know that there is at least some hope for everyone; no matter the race or religion. I speak as one person and one person only. There are many in this great nation that believe the same way I do, but they are too scared of what others are going to say. Forget everyone else, for this is who you are.

Music:

I listen to pretty much anything and everything. The music that I prefer is Country and Texas Country. However I don't listen to music such as jazz and others related to that.

Movies:

Where do I start???? If I had to name a few, I would definately say Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, Remember The Titans and lastly Behind Enemy Lines. There are several others, but I don't think that anyone really cares and wants to read everything on this page.

Television:

I watch anything and everything there is, so I can't really say anything in particular. There are shows that I prefer like sports of all kinds and anything military related, as long as the facts are shown.

Books:

Yeah right, like this guy reads. There is one book though that I have been reading at work and it is "100 People Who Have F***** Up America the Most". Low and behold, Michale Moore is number 1!!! (YES)

Heroes:

My Grandfather who passed in 2003!!! He was and always will be the best "father" one could have! What I miss most about him is sitting at the kitchen table, listening to him tell me about his childhood. Love you Popo!! Also, my father who's name I represent. I have not been able to live with him throughout my uprising as a young man, but because he was always there and will always be here for me when I am in need, truely shows that my father will always love me for who I am. I love you Dad and I can't say that enough! Lastly, the men and women of the past, present, and future, who have given their lives to serve this great nation!!

Americas' Society

What is the deal with the society that we are living in right now?  I ask this to the mere fact that five years ago, every citizen of the United States was preaching that we need to go to war.&nb...
