I have had an interesting life and I when I finally die (if I ever die since i am immortal) I can say I have lived a full life. I was born in New Orleans East and was raised in a little town called Violet which is about 30 miles southeast of New Orleans. Raised a bayou boy, I spent most of my childhood in the woods or on the water. At 10 I had my first job "hot walking" thoroughbred race horses for a local barn.For High School I went to a catholic high school, which is what I believe caused me to have a lot of my belief's on religion now a days. Also the fact that I have a scientific mind and in my science world a god cannot exist. Besides, this is not for everyone, but a lot of people I have found believe in God because they need something to believe in. I believe in myself and my abilities so I don't need a god.After high school, I went to college for 2 and half years drank to much and joined the navy. The navy was the best decision I have every made in my life and also the worst decision I have made in my life. This is too hard to explain but most people who has joined the navy nuc program, did their time on a ship, and have gotten out will understand. Some who are still in, might think it is just the worst decision or the best because they don't know better, but they will understand when they get out.I did get to see a good percentage of Europe while I was in that I would never have gotten to see if I did not join. Places like Palma, Spain (the best place highly suggest any single guy go in the spring or summer. It is great), Greece, Spain, France, Italy, and Turkey.Since I have gotten out my life experiences have grown more. I worked at a job where I got to travel around the country visiting 26 of the 50 states. I moved over to a more stable job and bought a house. Thinking I was finally starting to get some settlement into my life I lost my house to Katrina. That is ok though because if that did not happen i probably would not have had a chance for the greatest thing to happen to me. Meeting Sarah. I am so lucky.
