About Me

i like the beach, dive bars, travel/tattoos/tits/trucks/tempura, dog, old things, driving, social justice, reading books, miller high life, the great outdoors, canada, et cetera. i am a misanthrope. i like hoppy beer and Fernet and black coffee and teriyaki anything. norcal owns but i like being warm year-round as well. i wish i had a farm.

i was an army artillery scout until i said i wouldn't participate in an illegal, unjust and immoral war and could no longer serve in uniform under a government bent on rewriting the constitution i swore to defend. i got an honorable discharge and now i get involved with other vets...supporting the troops by working to end the occupation and start looking for osama Iraq Veterans Against The War

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official...That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."~ Col. Theodore Roosevelt; US Army, Medal of Honor 26th President of the United States
