My Interests


This is pretty sweet even if it is the air force

I'd like to meet:


"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life". Leo Tolstoy

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' ... You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt

“Fear is an emotion that you can’t control whether or not it happens to you. You can only control your reaction to it. If you have the higher brain function of being able to control yourself, basically, you can succeed at pretty much anything.” -Jen Sharp(SkydiveKansas)

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. -Henry David Thoreau

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, Live the Life you have imagined- Henry David Thoreau

Books:

The Iliad, A Long Way Gone, Tuesdays With Morrie, In Cold Blood, The Alchemist, The Kite Runner, Into The Wild, Angels and Demons, On Combat, Friday Night Lights, Means of Escape...

Heroes:


War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -John Stuart Mill
