Interests
Currenlty I am deployed to Iraq for the second time in my career. This is my third combat deployment. I was in Croatia in 1994 and Iraq the first time in 2004. I have lost a few friends to this country and have had a few that have been injured here as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families.
I am just the regular guy that likes to do a little of everything. Everything stops though when I have my children with me. I spend every moment I can with them as I don't get to see them as much as I would like. I have a usual week schedule that I, for some reason, adhere to unconsciencely. I, and a group of friends, hit up Hooters every Tuesday for Tuesday Night Trivia. On Thursday's, I normally go to Rookies for a few cold beverages ($1 domestics)! On the weekends, that is up for whatever is going on!
Movies
I am a fan of both Star Wars trilogies! I love to watch horror and suspense movies. You know, that kind that keep you on the edge of your seat and then, BAM, scare the living shit out of you for that brief second, even though you know that something is going to happen. My favorite actress is Jennifer Tilley! I still have not seen her in the movie Bound.
Idols
My idols are the friends and co-workers that have perished in Iraq since the war began. SSgt Spink KIA 10 July 2004, Sgt Nachampassak KIA 10 July 2004, LtCol Shea KIA 14 Sep 2004 (in a rocket attack that could have killed me), and Sgt Calderon 2 August 2004.
I admire my mother most. At the young age of 14, she delivered me on the evening of 16 November 1972. She had three more children, my sister and two brothers, before the age that I had my first child. She did a phenominal job at raising us while hardly working and relying on her husband's income to raise us. Thanks for everything MOM, I LOVE YOU!!!
