i was tagged by a gentleman named cklarock, so here are my 20 things about myself:
1- im not very army-ish. im about the most non-agressive person around. in fact, i get made fun of all the time at work because i am always smiling.
2- i really, really wish i could have a dog. unfortunately, my life dictates that im never around. it bothers me daily.
3- i hate the fact that i like material stuff. its one of my most un-favorite traits about myself. unfortunately, i really like toys and gadgets. and cars.
4- im from the bay area in CA, born and raised, but my favorite city in the US is Detroit, hands down.
5- since the moment i buried my best friend/brother, i feel like im a completely different person. not better, but stronger, i guess. in situations like that, where a whole community is devestated, someone had to put their pain away and be strong, and i took that responsibility. doing that changed me forever.
6- speaking of that, i've had the same friends for the last 15 years or so. they're not really friends anymore, more like family.
7- i own a mini cooper, simply because theyre small, wierd, but cool. im a sucker for small, wierd , or cool, or any combination therein.
8- im a giant fucking goofball- it amazes me how little i give a shit about people's perception of me. as such, im really into pee-pee and poo-poo jokes and the like.
9- ive been in the army for 3 years, and it continues to baffle the shit out of me. this job keeps you on your toes, thats for sure.
10- i was homecoming king in high school. even saying this makes me realize, once again, just how ridiculous this event really was. it was one of those funny situations where i think everyone could see just how little i gave a shit about this event, and proceeded to vote for me for exactly that reason. the funniest part was when i said to the queen, when we were accepting our dumb little crowns , "are you allowed to be king if you've never kissed a girl?", and years later, she informed me that she thought i was kidding. i wasnt.
11- i pretty much lied my way through college. well, not lied, but totally bullshitted. amazingly, im quite proud of it- i didnt buy books for the last 2 years!
12- im hopelessly addicted to the internet. its quite sad. but on a positive note, this community of people has continued to make me happy on multiple occasions, so i guess its well worth it!
13- i had a band called "The Troubadours", and we were awesome. we only played if we were super drunk. it was some of the best times of my life, in retrospect.
14- i have a terrible prediliction of subjecting myself to delusions of grandeur and elevated ability. but thankfully, i have a tireless work ethic to go with it, so i tend to achieve my goals and aspirations. as such, i usually attempt to attain things that are way out of my league, but due to my dogged persistence, i usually achieve success.
15- my brother, on the other hand, is one of those effortless talent types who is good at whatever he touches. it pisses me off to no end.
16- back to crushes, mine never die, or elapse. i've carried the same crushes for a long time, some as long as 10 years. its pretty funny, because i have some sort of internal wiring that doesnt allow me to just let shit go. once again, back to the dogged determination. i really am like the little retarded dog that wont stop pulling on the tug rope.
17- i had a cat when i was young named sammy. i found him in a creek near my house in the rain, so i snuck him home and we kept him. for about the first year, that cat did nothing other than scratch me and be pissed. after that year, however, he was the most amazing cat ever. the vet was pretty sure that he was a wild cat. he had no tail, and had alot bigger of a skeletal frame than other cats. and he just pummeled other animals. also, i had a beagle named rocky that would pee upon recieving the verbal command of "tequila". it was downright amazing!
18- im still really, really good friends with all of my ex-girlfriends. in fact, im closer to them now than i was in my respective relationships with them.
19- Im going to afghanistan in january for 8 months, and im actually pretty excited about it. my reason: i get to grow my beard! needless to say, i am easily amused by the little things.
20- i've been on this website since damn near it's inception, but i kick myself in the ass for taking so long to get involved in the community here. whereas it used to be all about pretty girls here, now, its more neat people and rad conversation, with a side order of pretty girls. and this, im thankful for.
ps- cklarock- i just got done filling out USASOC MCAF 336 Avoidance of Mummy Curse Due to Imminent Deployment, just to make sure i didnt miss my hit time. haha- you're one funny sonofagun!
i am tagging loretta, madison, and oki, because i dont think they've done it yet. i could be wrong though- im easily confused sometimes.
hope all is well, and if you read this in its entirety, i salute you!

cklarock:
Hey, did you get the curse?
cklarock:
He was a little bad-ass alright! We kind of wound up rooting for him, even though we were trying to kill him. He had pluck, verve and skill.
