About Me

I guess there are many labels by which I could describe myself, but the problem is that I really don’t believe in labels. Simply put—and to plagiarize God’s response to Moses when asked who He was—“I am who I am.” As far as people are concerned, that is probably the most fitting answer any person can give when asked who they are. The challenge for everyone else is deciding whether that person—both the person they happen to be and, more importantly, the person they are capable of becoming—is worth knowing.

I hope most people are…

And I would like for that hope to become something I truly believe.

    I still love this picture. I don’t know what’s my favorite part: the skull bandanna, the laughing while chomping cigar, or that you’re reading “The Alchemist.” I think it’s a combination of all of it. :)

    well, the bandanna was necessary thanks to a hatch job on my hair by a fellow marine. my brother sent me a care package, and these were some of the goodies that he had sent me. the picture was taken and sent to my brother to show him my thanks and appreciation. i am really glad that you like it!
