I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a 43 year old white guy originally from New York City. Since 1988 I have been a refugee from New York having luckily escaped to New Hampshire where I drunkenly reside when I'm not of the mind to think I'm still 22 and go running off to fight Uncle Sams wars in far off places. Yes... I'm in the United States Army and have been since 1983 (OK I'm a chronic under achiever and my mother is terribly disappointed. She wanted me to be an accountant). In my tour of duty on this earth I've managed to get my face slapped on 4 continents, a feat Im very proud of. I've also managed to travel around the world literally, although the stay bit because the local inhabitants were mortaring, rocketing, shooting or otherwise trying to kill me. It puts a real damper on sightseeing. I'm currently in the process of my second combat tour to Iraq since 2004, one which I volunteered for...WHAT a dumbass!! Obviously dropped on my head as a child. See Ya'all in the Sunni Triangle on CNN folks, I'll be the one wearing the uniform you won't be able to miss me!!

My Interests

I'm very interested in swilling Heinekens at Hooters of Manchester, NH with Tammie, Heathyr, Natasha and Lori as well as a few damn good guys like my friend Randy, Jeff and the other f'en regulars at the bar....actually I may have elevated that to an art form, Im not sure.

I'd like to meet:

The list is endless....we don't have enough space here to go through it all.

Music:

I like music yes, Im just smart enough not to try and play any on my own.

Movies:

Love movies. The classics, adventure, and especially comedies...and the occasional romance (don't let that one get around..Im a romantic at heart)

Television:

History channel, Discovery, A&E, PBS and of course the Playboy channel...hello??

Books:

I'm an avid reader. I'll even read my toothpaste tube when bored.

Heroes:

Earl Lanzitowski...OK I don't know who that is but this form asked me for one so I'm winging it.

My Blog

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING ME

SEE THE ABOVE STATEMENT Thank You, The Management

Camp Shelby, Mississippi

I've been at lovely Camp Shelby, Mississippi since July 7, 2006, having left behind friends and family...and my precious Heineken beer.  Mississippi is an intersting state in a bizarre way. ...
