Wow, where do I Start. URBAN EXPLORATION!!! I like to read, and love music. Darts. I love to play darts, and i haven't in sooooo long. I recently started restoring old tube radios.

I'm a political junkie. Spending 5 days in the woods with my friends, some beer, and cooking on a campfire is one of the best stress releases ever.

You are The Lovers
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
You will drink too much gin. Not the worst way to die, but you won't remember too much of your life. Hey, at least you made some people laugh! Take this quiz!
Please!!! I'm not interested in your porn site, or your webcam. if you want to be my friend just to have someone else on your list that you never talk to i'm not your guy! I am however very approachable, and most likely if we've talked a few times, i'll add you.
I'm very outgoing. I can talk to just about anyone. I have been to 40 states, Canada, Japan, and Korea. I enjoy good conversation, or catching a buzz and watching some goofy movie. I like Amber Bock beer, but i'm not a picky eater or drinker. I have my labrea and my tongue pierced I'm opinionated, but not so much that i'm closed minded. I just want to know why you think your idea is better than mine. A good heated debate among close friends is great fun for me. It challenges the mind, and strenghthens your friendships. My Military experience was a positive one. I would do it again a hundred times. I am very liberal about some things, but when it comes to the Military, I am not. I have a four year old Son named Dexter, and a two year old Daughter named Emma, and I love being a Dad. I was a band geek in high school. I was in jazz band, marching band, symphonic band, pep band, and orchestra. I played trumpet, baritone and tuba. It was awesome. Oh yeah. I really can't stand racists. Or any other kind of narrow mindedness for that matter.
Thanks for supporting our Troops! I appreciate it and I know our Troops appreciate it. Please keep those affected by the tragedy in Fort Hood, TX in your thoughts and prayers.
If you would like to help us thank those still serving overseas and help those coming home wounded, please stop by the profile, read the latest blog and do what you can.
Thank you for your friendship. Sending you our very best wishes from your friends at the Hollywood Canteen. - - Always remember those who serve in the armed forces at home and abroad. -
Hey Big Bro...hope all is well and you're ready to keep on a truckin to new places and encounter many future "stories to tell". Hope to be home before Christmas (knock on wood). AKO is a good place to consistantly keep in touch till then.
Thanks for adding. Terri has been working very hard on these crafted soldiers, quilts and so on. Figured I would help her get her ideas out there.
