Shout out: To my fellow Marines, Happy Birthday Devil Dogs!! Our Corps is only 115,000 around the world so when they say the "few and the proud" they really mean it.
What is a Marine you may ask?
The USMC is over 233 years of romping, stomping, hell and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a bomb crater, our mother was an M16 & our father was the devil. Each day that I live is an additional threat on your life.
I am a rough looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self centered, over bearing and don't know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood & guts who arose from the sea, feasting on anti Americans throughout the globe. When my time comes I will give my life for my God, my family, my Corps and our American way of life.
We stole the eagle from the Air Farce, the anchor from the Navy & rope from the Army. On the 7th day while God rested we ran over the perimeter, stole the friggin Globe and have been running the show ever since!
We live like soldiers, cuss like sailors & smack the hell out of both of them. Jarhead by day, ladies' man by night & party animal by choice. MARINE by the grace of God. Long live THE CORPS! Semper Fi!
The Saints...though my team struggled this year since the season ending injury to Deuce and Reggie Bush..they have showed a little heart. Aaron Stecker had a few good games as well as Pierre Thomas. There are games that they should have won..specifically the Carolina game..but I guess as a Saints fan I cannot expect a winning season every year..at least my LSU Tigers are National Champions!!!!
To those of you out there who ignorantly judge others. Those of you who allow yourselves to feel that vile sense of jealousy and use it to condemn those who YOU WANT TO BE LIKE. It is something in YOURSELF that you hate not ME. Some think that a big, ATHLETIC GUY cannot be an English major but they often find out very quickly that I am capable of a sharp wit AND a hard fist. It always surprises people when a 270lb guy can have an intelligent mind and cut people deep with witty conversation.
TO ALL THOSE WHO HATE AMERICA..I have few words to say, but I will say don't let the media constantly forge your perceptions about things. If you let others force feed what you think then you no longer truly live. You live like a robot that no longer thinks on your own. That ,my friend, is a sad, sad way to live for when you no longer think on your own, you no longer exist. Exist as a free-thinker. Exist as an independent that chooses to not delve into the depths of misconceived perceptions and shallow assumptions. We all hate what we don't know about...or we don't know enough about it to make a clear observation. Humans tend to rationalize about things they know nothing of (which can be labeled ignorance as well as laziness in my book) and then try to take the shortcut when getting all of the facts. Expound on your knowledge then you will truly see the light and not allow your arrogance and jealousy to cloud your judegement like a heavy fog.
Freedom is Not free for there are many nations out there including republics that can only dream of the freedoms that my fellow Americans seem to outrageously take for granted. Our lives are blanketed by the freedoms that our militaries unselfishly provide to us as the movie "A Few Good Men" would say. Thank a Serviceman or SERVICEWOMAN today!!

I am a romantic by nature with a bad boy streak. I am a poet, though probably not a very good one by the measurement of the standards of the great ones. I am gifted with words, but rarely use it in my speech. I am interested in making on-line friends for networking and friendship ONLY! I consider myself humorous, open-minded, laid back, a free spirit if you will, somewhat bull-deaded, and don't takle sh** from nobody. I dish it out in the form of the sharpest wit you can imagine though I only use it only when it is used on me so check your cockiness and confidence at the door. As you can tell by my music selection I listen to ALL music so if you cast my friendship off because you do not have a particular taste for a certain kind of music then it is you that is close-minded and ignorant and it is because of people like you that the world will never get along.
