Well how you got here is anyone's guess but since you are I think I should warn you that I am very opinionated and not afraid to voice my beliefs. I am not preaching nor am I trying to tell anyone how to live his or her life. I can only give my opinion and remember they're like assholes….everyone has got one and they all stink!

My life and upbringing unlike myself was pretty normal (what is normal nowadays anyway?). I grew up in a very middle class environment with parents that I knew loved me even if they didn't have all the time in the world to spend with me. They taught me the importance of respect, hard work and honesty. I like many other kids rebelled and tried nearly anything I could to gain their attention, even in a negative way. I don't regret my rebelliousness as it helped mold my personality and make me the person I am today.

My hobbies and interests are pretty varied, I enjoy playing softball, snow skiing and offroading as well as RPGing, playing on my computer and comic books. I like partying with my friends and I tend to get pretty wasted now and then. I dig listening to hard rock/heavy metal as well as some alternative and punk.

I am a manager at a supermarket in Southern California and to see me while working no one would guess my rebellious nature. I almost have an associates degree in business (I would have it if I could get my ass back in school) and plan to get my bachelors in marketing when I can. I am married to a beautiful woman, her name is Danielle and in late 1997 we had our first child, a baby girl we named Rhianna.

Well enough about me….let's talk about life….

My philosophy on life is essentially, do what you want now because soon you'll be dead and won't be able to. I think that life is too damn short to spend it doing what others want you to. Whose life is it anyway? This is not to say that I condone all of the crime, debauchery and other shit that seems to be plaguing our society. Merely that I think if you want to go out and party your ass off and aren't hurting anyone else by what you do…Fuck it, go for it! Who the hell is anyone else to tell you how to live your life? Sure, there is a happy medium somewhere but it is for you to decide where yours lies. I personally am fuckin' sick and tired of other people and our government trying to tell me how I'm supposed to act, dress, speak and live. The government passes laws that prohibit certain behavior, for instance pornography. Well who is to say where the acceptable level is? My feeling is if you don't like it…Don't fuckin' look! If you can't deal with the music…well change the damn station. Basically what I'm saying here is let me live my life how I want, if I don't involve you then what the fuck is the big deal. (And by the way if you don't like the language I'm using go up to the little "X" in the top right corner of your screen and get the fuck out of here!)

Now I realize that there has to be some kinda guideline somewhere and as I said before, if I don't directly involve you then where's the harm? Probably one of the things that pisses me off the most is these fuckin' people that run around and try to tell me I'm a sinner and I'm going to hell. Well don't you think that I have the right to decide for myself? Don't try to push your religion or beliefs on me, I'm a big boy, thanks. Now that brings up another point, why is there so much shit in this world? Why is the crime rate so high? Why do we have to worry about our kids going out alone? Well because some of you people don't have a clue how to discipline your kids. These fuckin' punks who run around and think that this world was made for them are sadly ignorant. And their parents (if they even know who they both are) didn't keep up with what they were doing or who they were doing it with. I know I'm starting to sound a little hypocritical and shit but doing what you want to and doing something to hurt another human being are not in my eyes the same thing. In fact that is a good way to judge our lives, ask yourself, "Am I hurting someone else by doing this?" If you are…then fucking stop! Somehow we all have to coexist on this planet. Just be a good human being, don't screw anybody else and above all enjoy life we don't have all that long after all.

Well quite honestly I must admit that I have only been in love (by my own definition) once. My definition of love is very simple, it is when you think of another person before you think of yourself. For most of us this is not as easy as it sounds. By human nature we are selfish and tend to think in terms of me or I. This is not all encompassing and there are self sacrificing people out there. There are many levels of affection of which love is the strongest. Remember I said I've only been "in love" once. Of course we are all familiar with the concept of like. This is when a person's company is pleasurable but you do not have enough experience with that person to warrant calling it love. There is lust in which the physical attraction to another is nearly overwhelming (this can sometimes be misconstrued as love, particularly by males). Infatuation is ignorant love and is common everywhere, but rarely lasts very long. Family love is that which you feel for your parents or siblings, it can however be displayed for very close friends and others one may have an extremely close bond to. Family love comes in varying degrees and can be as strong or stronger as any other level (as I recently found out after the birth of my first child). Being "in love" with someone comes through communication and trust and it is the greatest feeling on earth.

Danielle you are the one I am in love with!!

If you have something to say to me regarding either of the things above…
