Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you.
And all that your heart may desire.
I could have wealth beyond my dreams,
But where is the joy in that?
And I could travel the seven seas,
But I would always come back.
Everyone could know my name,
And there would be no peace.
I could have undying love,
And heartaches still increase.
No, if I were wealthy beyond my dreams
(And where is the joy in that?)
It wouldn't buy friendship such as yours --
And there IS joy in that!
We're on this Earth together,
And if we would be brothers,
Fight not just on your own behalf
But for the sake of others.

My Interests

I spent a good portion of my teenage years playing BlackJack up in Niagra Falls Canada and even as far up as Quebec when I was only 15, all for the rush of the Blackjack table and my French wasn't even that good- there is nothing better than beating the house at 15 ILLEGALLY,and they even called me Sir and served me beer, I am glad I can always pass as older than I really am. My favorite word in French was Vignt-et-Un! BlackJack. Or if you speak english twenty-one! I Like Golf,hiking,driving my car with the music blasting,reading good books not those stupid ones I mean real books, either the classics or more so books that make you think.i like to make money and than spend it!On random shit!
Quotes"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do." Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea (1938)"Every age has its own poetry; in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry." Jean-Paul-Sartre"Our lives don't really belong to us, you see -- they belong to the world, and in spite of our efforts to make sense of it, the world is a place beyond our understanding." Paul Auster

I'd like to meet:

Bob Dylan-who's my all time favorite songwriter, Chris Cornell formerly of Soundgarden & Temple of a Dog and currently with Audioslave,Paul Auster by far my favorite author, his novels consistently amaze me. Also Senator Lieberman(Independent)of Connecticut, I think he is a true politician, someone who amazes me in how he can be very bi-partisan and stand firm in his beliefs. Major General William Caldwell (United States Army) Spokesman, Multi-National Force-Iraq, he is good at what he does, very good speaker too, I wouldn't mind having a beer with this General.

Music:


What I've Done LyricsBod Dylan, Metallica, Audioslave,Incubus, Seether, System of a Down, Billy Joel, Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, Phil Collin's, Alice N' Chains and many more. Also my girlfriend who plays the fiddle! I like music that sounds rare. I do not like mainstream sounding music. When I hear something unique and original I usually gravitate towards the music and faithfuly listen to it, you could call me a true music fan or a connoisseur of music. I have tried to play music myself through my gutair and I wish I was better or could sing better, but I at least like to think I have a good ear for original sounding music. Original music like this will usually make the hairs on my back jump to attention, when this happens these are the sounds and artists I stick to, I like it because I can feel it in my blood. Then this music usually makes its way into my car, where I have a more than $1,000 dollar speaker system. The next step is to roll down the windows and jam.

Movies:

The Departed, Band of Brothers, Legends of the Fall, Last of the Mohicans, Pulp Fiction, A River Runs Through It,Good Will Hunting, Road To Perdition,Blow, ShawShank Redeption, The Bourne Identity,Braveheart.

Books:

The New York Trilogy & Timbuktu by(Paul Auster),The Da Vinci Code(Dan Brown),The Things They Carried(Tim O'Brien). I am currently reading Leviathan by Paul Auster and The Book of Illusions by the same author...Paul Auster

Heroes:

My grandfather who served in WWII. I would not be here if he did not survive the war. Three of the Navy Ships he was on were sunken in the Atlantic Ocean. He survived all these hardhips and lived with Malaria for the rest of his life. He is one example of the uncomprable hardships the WWII generation faced as compared to the way wars are fought today, I mean Im on myspace and I am writing this now in a war zone for God's sake, see the difference. My Grandfather is my hero for his service in a pivotal time in our history. I do not know what rank he was, his name was Regis Fate.
GoalsFirst and foremost, to get back from Iraq. To finish College, To get married and eventually have children. Before I get married I want to buy a house. Travel to places that I have not been to, (Maine,Prince Edward Islands, Montreal, Vancouver, Alaska, Drive to Mexico, go to Italy, and Ireland, my girlfriend wants to take me to Tanzania to see one of her best friends there and maybe climb Mount Kilimanjaro while we are there. Also I have a goal of hiking the Appalachian trail with my girlfirend when I get back, or any trail in the Appalachian range in the PA,WV region.) I have always wanted to deep sea fish, and my goal would be to actually catch something and cook it. To get a new dog and train it really well. Other than that, just to be successful and do my best in all that I do.
