About Me

After 8 years in the military and 5 more wandering the world Iâ€™ve mellowed out considerably. Call it old or just seasoned I much prefer to enjoy my time travelling, writing, wrenching on a car, cooking, travelling and travelling moreâ€¦Did I mention Travel? Iâ€™m hardly in one place often enough to catch a breath and if I am, Iâ€™m just getting ready for the next trip. Basically I do whatever I feel like doing at the moment. Nothing at the moment ties me to any particular place and Iâ€™m enjoying life to the max... I try to spend my down time reading or hanging out with friends at the local dive or anywhere to rest my feet. Catching up with friends, going to concerts, festivals or whatever has lots of people and fun. Drinking beer and having funâ€¦.itâ€™s keeps the balance between the insanity of reality and the doldrums of other people. Once again I'm employed by the U.S. Government, after five long years of civilian life I've left the states to travel and find new adventures. I currently live in the Middle East and working under government contract. Want to know more? Too bad, I can't tell you....it's a secret. Some Random Shit: I used to live in Europe, Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington. I smell like cucumber melon. I have seven tattoos and seven piercings, I travel often, I like the ocean, I love coronas, I like to paint oil paintings and I'm a Libertarian/Anarchist. I'm a mercenary, paid with taxpayers money. Current Home is Colorado Springs, Colorado. Second Home....some island in the Pacific...shhh, it's a secret. But California will always be where my heart is! Questions? Ask away....

Someone who knows what the hell is going on...

Huh?

American Decadence

As we near the end of Fiscal Year 2007 (the only real way to count a year) I like to think that if I paid taxes that my money was going to something good. Well, I don't pay taxes (a...

Our lips are sealed...

Much has happened in the past few weeks, much has changed. I wish I could divulge the information and spin the tales that I once would do so freely during much different times. My e...
