What the hell am I doing here
Know damn well it ain’t where I belong (no, no)
This 9 to 5 construction job
Feels more like a jail everyday
So I’m going be on my way
Quit that job to do it my way
Hit the road for the big ol’ world
Cause it sure as hell isn’t happening here
A ramblin’ is my way
Meant a girl in Kansas City
Did things I could never imagine
Stayed with her talking of a family
Until she was on her way and my wallet MIA
I guess I shoulda’ seen the signs
But in one and out the other is my way
So I’m back to movin’ on down the line
From place to place, rather than stay
Cause rambling is my way
Ramblin’ is my way
My daddy once told me
Son you better quit your ways
The whiskey, drugs and women
Only lead you to an early grave
And me and your mom are not ready to bury one of our own
So son you better quit your ways
I’ve rambled from town to town
Met pretty girls all around
Played the theatres and honky tonks
Gaining money and fame along the way
But if it all went away
I didn’t have a dollar to my name
I’d be better then just okay
Stick my thumb out and be on my way
Wouldn’t Be Standing Here Today
My life was once the normal kind
From construction to a man dressed in blue with a badge
8 hour shifts plus overtime
Then I was rewarded for being the perfect kind
Suit and tie man is what I became
Had more money then I could spend
But no time to form a family to share it with
Oh nobodies gonna tell me no
When I said I was quitting that job
They all knew that I’m a stubborn fool
Cause if it was all about the money
I wouldn’t be standing here today
So I packed up my things
Moved down to Nashville
Started writing songs for other people
Until a major label recognized me
Handed me a contract I should have read a bit more I see
Cause nobodies gonna tell me no
Like they tried to do
Choosing which songs I can and cannot do
Yeah if it was all about the fame and money
I wouldn’t have told them to take their no’s and that record deal and shove
I wouldn’t be standing here today
I followed my guns like I always have
Writing these songs from my heart
Giving my personal story for all those to see
At those bars I’d play downtown Nashville
When a record rep came up to me
Said how would you like sign with us
Well that’s all well and good
I’ll be perfectly happy to
Just as long as nobodies gonna tell me no
And that’s all I need to know
For me to sign right there on that dotted line
Cause if it was all about the money
I wouldn’t be standing here today
Yeah if it were all about the money
I wouldn’t be standing here today
THESE TIMES
You can wear your pants down around your knees
Boy you may think your gangsta don’t you right
With those weapons and friends to back you up to boot
But I’m quite sure in a fist fight I could kick your ass, yeah
These times ain’t made for a man like me
Outspoken, not politically correct
A young rebel when I entered this land
Oh dang there’s no changing me
So when I go, I’ll be an old rebel too
You can be proud of the money you steal
Sitting on your ass all day and still earning a few bucks
Stealing from the blue collared workers everyday
Welfare going to mommas hooked on crack
You can get your face all pierced up
Tattoos around your neck and eyes
Hey it takes all kind
These times ain’t made for a man like me
Outspoken, not politically correct
A young rebel when I entered this land
Oh dang there’s no changing me
So when I go, I’ll be an old rebel too
You may think its hip, don’t mean it’s cool
Protesting the war, therefore the troops fighting it
Boy I tell you, I’m a proud supporter of our men and women
Giving you the freedom to do that very damn stupid thang
Well you can appear in vogue
More like a penthouse photo shoot at fifteen
Such a good role model for them lil’ girls to follow
These times ain’t made for a man like me
Outspoken, not politically correct
A young rebel when I entered this land
Oh dang there’s no changing me
So when I go, I’ll be an old rebel too
No I’m not a goodie good
Far from it indeed
I cuss and raise a little cain
Wherever it seems I can
So I kneel down every night
Praying forgiveness and to enter them pearly gates when it’s my time
It seems one of few today that knows what politeness is
I still say yes sir and ma’am, treat the elder’s fine
But if you don’t take your turn buddy
You best know you’ll get on my bad side
With the one finger salute when I’m ramming your car door
Yield means yield
These times ain’t made for a man like me
Outspoken, not politically correct
A young rebel when I entered this land
Oh dang there’s no changing me
So when I go, I’ll be an old rebel too
The Redneck Song
Now people say I’ve got a neck that’s red
What am I doin’ up north sayin’ y’all with that twang
Well I was thinking the very same damn thang
I like big ol’ trucks that I just can’t seem to keep clean
You can barely see the “Git Er Done” sticker across my tailgate
And I hate when that tar goes flat but I don’t learn 4x4s aren’t meant for burnouts
I’m a redneck, proud to be
From the red states below the Mason Dixon Line
I’m as down home as you can get
Redneck, damn proud to be
I don’t know what calamari taste like though ive tried caviar once at fancy thang’
Yeah I like fish fried bobbyque but they can keep their eggs
To be on the end of my pole down the road
Oh I love rock turned up loud
But countries always been my main thang
And I was listening way before it went pop
I’m a redneck, proud to be
From the red states below the Mason Dixon Line
I’m as down home as you can get
Redneck, damn proud to be
I think we oughta’ be fixin’ to
Blow those Ay-rabs off the face of this planet once and for all
And the ATF department of the government some of my favorite damn thangs
Oh I had a mullet when Billy Ray was the craze
Some say it was one of the worst trends
But I beg to differ cus’ when you threw a punch in that honky tonk
That tail go swinging round’ like a big ol’ taunt
Oh yeah, bad ass it was
Haha oh I’m a redneck, proud to be
And those country girls Pickler to Swift, Nettles, Lambert and Carrie representin’ us fine
Yeah they can make any man proud to be a redneck too
Redneck, proud to fly the stars n’ bars
Redneck, damn proud to be a right here-ah
SOLDIER AT HEAVENS GATE
An eighteen year old all alone down in a hole Far from home with a tear rolling down his face Remembering the family he had to leave behind He is young and he is brave indeed Standing tall when there is a need
He puts his trust in god That he’ll make it through the night The news will travel fast and the families mind will roam When their lil’ boy doesn’t phone home There’s a soldier at heavens gate tonight
Another wounded beyond repair The loss and pain felt can not compare And as the battle rages on all around We can find solace in he is not alone As he’s being welcomed home
There are soldiers at heavens gate They are tired and need some sleep How young they were to have to die They have sinned if you follow the words of the bible But open heavens gate and let them in (They deserve the peace they gave their life for)
There are soldiers at heavens gate Let them wake to a brand new day (Where no shots are fired) And tell them not to fear, they are missed But everything will be okay with us down here And we’ll reunite one day soon
IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING (WE’RE CHAMPIONS)
VERSE 1: They’ll say that hills too steep That sea too wide And those walls too high You’ll never make it before you die
CHORUS 1: But they don’t know I’ll do everything it takes to be the one I know I can I will show no fear fighting an army of thousands You just watch and see Impossible is nothing when you’re a champion
VERSE 2: I’ve seen lows and I’ve seen highs of my time here The voices telling you to give it up But if you just believe Work hard through it all You’ll soon take what is rightfully yours
CHORUS 2: After all the hard work you’ll finally got your shot Giving everything you’ve got No longer just talk, you’ll prove them wrong Shining bright, standing tall tonight Because impossible is nothing and you’re a champion
BRIDGE: If you want to do something that matters Be noticed, leaving your mark in history Do something with your time, never wasting a moment Go against the odds; know it in your heart
CHORUS 3: If you never give up Fight for what you want and worked for all those years You’ll stand tall holding that gold Leaving your mark in the books saying you were here Saying impossible is nothing when you’re standing a champion tonight
JESSE JAMES
All the steam trains have been put away
High flying diesels all you see
Wide open spaces is what I long for everyday
But thanks to the millionaires in New York, LA and DC
They’re disappearing with the days
They’re changing this country
Suiting just fine for the crooked and rich
But man I remember the ol’ outlaws
Fighting for the good, dieing for the cause
Yes I think there’s a need for some outlaws like Jesse James today
Well sometimes I feel like Jesse
The man often don’t like my ways
But I’ll roll up this here song and pass it on for them to see (ha ha)
You see I don’t mind breaking rules (no)
I ain’t letting them tell me how it’s supposed to be
They’re changing this country
Suiting just fine for the crooked and rich
But man I remember the ol’ outlaws
Fighting for the good, dieing for the cause
Yes I think there’s a need for some outlaws like Jesse James today
I’ve seen those prisons, locked up many times
Rehabilitation, trying their best to get me to fit in, take it like the rest
If they only knew, nothings gonna change what I am
Came into this world an outlaw and when I go I’ll be the same
Yeah me and Jesse, we’re cut from the same mold
Oh I remember Willie and ol’ Johnny Cash
Nobody told them one man can’t change a thing
Their the inspiration for who I am
And I’m going to carry on the fight and never give up
Till they catch up and riddle me like Bonnie and Clyde (oh rest in peace)
They’re changing this country
Suiting just fine for the crooked and rich
But man I remember the ol’ outlaws
Fighting for the good, dieing for the cause
Yes I think there’s a need for more outlaws like Jesse James today

Bzoinks Best & Most Creative Survey! Get To Know Your Friends! So Please Explain Your Answers!
Are you addicted to new technology? Lap tops, cell phones?
Ahh, I not too long ago got a big flat screen TV, just got HD set up, so I recently have been a bit addicted to the tele. I could be really addicted to the laptop, I have one, but I'm afraid to use it so much. I'm afraid I'm burning my testes you know, messing with my swimmers, I'd have to call Dell, is this laptop lowering my sperm count? ... I'd probably get hung up on, but it's a serious question isn't it lol
Do you honestly understand art?
Ahh, well modern art, no I don't get it. Something like just strokes of the brush all over the print, it's like I could of done that looking the other way. A dog, pig could do it, hell they do, if I'm buying something like that to hang on the wall, I'm buying it from a pig or a dog lol, not spending millions on some Picasso piece for instance, some abstract art that just makes no sense. The art I like is for instance oil paintings, beautiful sceneries, landscapes, things like that. You know things that are beyond the capability of most normal people.
Do you really understand the opposite sex? Are you good with them?
Haha, the opposite sex, females, do I understand them? I'd like to say I always can, that would be rather good if I could say that but that would a fib. We males, myself, are not mind readers, we can't always follow these mind games that females play, its no reason the male are usually the first to go lol. Until I retrieve my crystal ball from the shop, sadly I do not fully, always understand the opposite sex. Am I good with them? I think I'm rather good to them. But am I good with them, again the quick reflexes, the racing, great at that, but just not quick enough when it comes to females lol. Someone could say oh I'm going to be on campus all day next Wednesday, we have a break from noon to one for lunch, obviously after the fact a complete opening but at the time it's like oh you are, what for, that's very nice, etc lol
What is your fashion style? And your dream fashion style?
My fashion style, I don't really know that I have one lol. Jeans, t shirts, polos, shirts, idk really. I guess if I really think about it, it isn't modern, I don't wear the pants many sizes bigger then should be, etc. I guess it's more, and I guess this would be my "dream" style as well, more 60's, 70's you know, vintage type things. But to name main designers and all I would have no clue really. I guess the main thing in fashion I like and have a particular taste for including some main stream designers is shoes. In shoes I like alot of vintage, I like to name one big designer, Gucci, I also like some Lacoste, for a everyday shoe Sketchers, Nike. Of course I love different boots, cowboy boots. Dior has some rather nice things as well, I'm just not the most into spending alot of peoples whole salary for a year on a set to wear lol.
Where do you wish to live in the future?
I really want my main residence, house, garage, no kill shelter, all that on Old Hickory Lake somewhere around Nashville, like Hendersonville for instance ... and I want to at some point get dual citizenship, and a place, tiny apartment in London
What type of car do you drive? What is your dream car to drive?
Ahh, I currently drive a Toyota Avalon XLS, luxury car as daily driver. I also have a old 76 Camaro, and split ownership of a 72 Plymouth Satellite and same with a 72 Plymouth Road Runner with my father. In regards to what are some of my dream cars to drive, the list could go on forever it would seem lol. Something like a Ferrari Enzo would be fun for sure, on the Autobahn or something, but I wouldn't really ever own one, I'm into classic cars you know. I like cars when they were really cars. If I'm getting a sports car you know, I want real horsepower, not as a result of a super charger or anything like that. And like other cars, comparing luxury of old cars to the luxury cars of today, just to me, personally, there’s no comparison to the old Mercedes, BMWs, Auburns, Duesenbergs, Lincolns, Caddies, Jaguars you know, there’s no comparison.
Did your parents ever push you into any anything? If so what?
Ahh no my parents never really pushed me into anything, they have always let me be me, and supported the choices I made, the things I chose and wanted to do. Sure my father was a racer, but I wasn’t pressured into becoming the same thing. Both my parents, grandparents have a long term dealings with music but I was never pressured into a singer songwriter type deal. Our household was a musical/racing household to say that parents, grandparents being that but it didn’t really verge into being a musical/racing household; it wasn’t that type of environment when I grew up, and in fact I think I’m the main one who makes it that. We didn’t sit around, play instruments, write songs or talk about racing really. It wasn’t till I was 4 that I started the racing bit, and music it was very late, 17ish, 18 in fact before really getting into it.
For someone to be successful is a result of nature or nurture?
Well I believe it's really a combination of both. I think to be successful you have to have street and book smarts. With what I know, music, racing, etc, I don't think it hurts if you grow up and your family has already been there, experienced it, but I don't think that's the sole, can be the only thing that can lead a person to success. I mean sure, there's the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. who's to say he would have a ride, a sponsor if it wasn't for his name you know. I think to be successful its a accumulation of many things, including a big thing, perserverance.
Do you say things just for the sake of it? Do you believe thats good to do?
Haha umm, well a part of the lyrics to one of my songs says something about this, basically it states, gives off the essence that if you don't have anything worthwhile, inspirational to say than maybe you just shouldn't. Of course I made it a bit comical, girl/boy, girl constantly talking, boy grows tired, etc but yeah I'm not one to say a whole lot just for the sake of it. I just don't see the point of it. It's like those conversations where you're just constantly thinking how can I get away from this, some excuse, of course the only thing that ever forumalates in my mind to say is shut the fuck up lol but, it's like song writers, there are some who sit down everyday on a schedule, I don't do that, the only thing that comes out of that is rubbish I believe, you write when you want, you write, say stuff when something is on your mind, you need to express your heart.
Name a memory that first pops into your mind? Was it good? Creative?
Ahh, the last 2 songs that I wrote, approved I guess. And ahh, we thought it was pretty good yes, well I say we, I mean I thought it was pretty good, I'm in charge lol
Is happiness in yourself a requirement in life?
A requirement, I guess it isn't really a requirement, there seems to be past/present plenty of people that isn't happy. The classic Scrooge tale for one. Perhaps why there are suicides. But personally I think you've got to start out being happy with yourself. If you're not happy with yourself it's very unlikely you'll be happy with others, you'll be successful, it'll just be a dull, bland life.
Are you independent or dependent?
I'd say I'm definitely more independent. I'm the type who just want's to do the things that needs to be done, I don't expect someone else to do them, you can't expect that. You can't expect someone to always wave the magic wand, it isn't going to work. Like if you have 5 good songs, record ready, and the companies are lining up at your door saying to not worry, we'll get the rest in the studio, I guess most would just jump on it but it just won't work in the end. It's like home improvement projects, I, well previously worked construction, but I'd much rather do them myself, learn if I don't already know and if all fails and I fuck it up, than call the experts/a ambulance lol.
Do you like extravagance or prudence?
Hmm interesting question. I really, I can't say either or really. I'm not always into the flashy, whatever, in fact the majority of time I'm not really, but I also believe I'm too much of a risk taker, dare devil by nature to say fully the other way. I mean, to say, yes I like fireworks, pyro, but is that really needed at a concert performance? I mean that's not what I go to see, that's not what I'd put on peforming. I go to see whoever it is that I bought a ticket for, not big set ups on stage, not pyro, etc. Most of the people I listen to not quite at the national state, talk around the dinner table nightly, I mean of course they don't do that, I wouldn't ever. But people who are stars you know, I've been to concerts both ways, with the pyro and all, then just nothing but the performer. George Strait for instance, he don't have the big set up, the pyro, it's just him and I think that's perfect. Others like Brad Paisley, naming 2 that are what you'd call stars here, Brad Paisley does have a bit more set up, but what he does is not overloading it, it's fairly ideal. But the whole female, disney pop queens, and boy band deals, the dancing more than singing, all that, that's not me.
Who are some of your favorite actors/actresses?
Well lets start with actors, and for this question you could pretty much refer to my myspace profile, I have much of this included within it, including many with pictures.But for actors, people like Tim Allen, Joaquin Phoenix, Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogan, Clint Eastwood, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Kirk Douglas and Cary Grant (the last 4 of course from the great classic movies mostly which if you don't know who they are, you should really check into some movies with them) Now for actresses, I admit, most of these are because they are well, hot haha but Kirsten Dunst, Sasha Cohen (she's starting a acting career), Keira Knightley, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Anniston, Scarlett Johansson, Kim Novak to name a few

Nowhere to go n nowhere to be,with a friend on a stool next to me,takin shot 1 by 1 we slide from reality,with nowhere to go n no where to be.Theres jerk chicken grillin on the grill.Sure feels good for some time to be still.Even if its only for a little while.Sight of the sails in the wind makes me smile...He said I fish n I play my guitar,I laugh at the bar with my friends,I go home to my wife,I pray every night I can do it all over again.Somewhere over Texas I thought of my Lexus n all the stuff I work so hard for n all the things that Ive gathered from climbing that ladder didnt make much sense anymore,I just wanted to retire and live like him.To think that I thought for a while there that I had it made,when the truth is im really just dying to live like him n just fish,play my guitar,laugh at the bar with my friends,go home to my wife,pray every night I can do it all over again.Wouldnt that be the life?Wouldn’t that be the life? = Kenny Chesney lyrics...Pretty Ideal, say's alot & so true!
Country You are a respectable, simple, and kind person. You're an american classic who enjoys fishing, hunting, and driving big trucks. You're deeper and smarter than most people think and the highligh of your year is Countryfest. You're not bound by love, sex, or any other kind of commitment. You just plain enjoy life.
Every 60 seconds a person dies of cancer, that is every minute a person loses their life, the battle to cancer. This can't continue like this, anytime you can spare a few dollars, it don't even have to be alot, they'll take anything because anything is a help, donate to the different cancer programs around like: American Association for Cancer Research; American Cancer Society; National Cancer Institute; among even your local hospital; childrens hospital; and if you don't have the money to spare, you can go and volunteer often at these places as well. Right here in Newark, DE there is a one of two in the country, seriously ill childrens residential hospital called Exceptional Care, www.exceptionalcare.org, I personally gave some of my time in the building process of the hospital and I continue to donate and I can tell you they're not only looking for money, they are looking for much more, for example something as simple as a decorated Christmast Tree to bring the kids a smile through the Christmas season, nothing can compare to the feeling, I know, I gave one. Also you yourself can prevent cancer by not smoking, managing your daily stress, eating a proper diet, writing your legislative members and tell them the facts such as every minute a person dies and demand that they make cancer a priority, and of course go to your proper examinations, the best way to beat cancer is to detect it early, that can not be done unless you go to your examinations!
Support the Family Farm, Support Your Local Farmer & Buy Local! This is something I care about a lot. I lived in the same house from when I was baby up into reaching adulthood, in the beginning we were completely surrounded by farms, needless to say that is no more, there is only 1 and a half farm's left from the 5 that surrounded us before and they are disappearing like that everywhere. Another thing is if you've always bought your produce at a store instead of your local farmer, you've never tasted fresh produce; there is a world of difference! I myself love nature, I'm a country boy, I'm perfectly happy living out in the country, surrounded by wood lands, creeks, farms, that's what I want. What I don't want is to be surrounded by Walmart’s and other shopping facilities, etc. I believe in land conservation and I hope more of you will look into preserving land/helping preserve it and as I stated above supporting your local farm's. If you don't know how to do this, or need to find local farmer's and where they sell their produce/any other way you can help preserve land feel free to get in contact with me and I'll help you or if not I promise I'll be able to steer you in the right direction!
I love pig's!
An often overlooked place when it comes to conservation is the ocean and the animals within it. I love the water whether it be a lake, ocean, pond or stream and I love the animals within each. I have swam side by side with the "most dangerous" or so most people think animals of the ocean including sharks, barracuda, sting ray, etc. I have been a hobby fisherman for many years and not once killed or took a fish in that I caught. I am totally against such things as whaling, over fishing, championship shark fishing tournaments among others and as you see above, against the seal hunt being done by the Canadians yearly!
Did you know there are no regulations to what is being done to the animals that are suffering, being tested on? The animals are fully concious, with no pain killers while they are electricuted, burned and cut open. Think about that everytime you purchase a product that was tested on animals. Just remember all that they suffered and endured so you could have the prettiest nail polish and the best smelling shampoo ... I worked for a fortune 500 company as an electrician during my high school years as a internship. One of the buildings was used for animal testing (rats), I was sent there on a job once and I saw bags and bags of dead rats. People need not be afraid to stand up and speak your mind, I certinally did by telling my boss I refused to do that job and refused to do any more jobs in that particular building and I was still, nonetheless awarded the best co-op of the year nationwide for this fortune 500 company! I also never took part in a dissection just to say so and received straight A's.
I love competition! That's why I love racing so much, there are very few things’ that match my love of music, and racing is one of em!
Check out my ride!
According to the Wedding Crasher's rule book: Rule Number 76: No excuses. Play like a champion!
Those who risk, win! A real loser is someone whos so afraid of losing he doesnt even try
I'd rather have a old pickup truck then a ferrari
"These days theres dudes gettin facials, manicured, waxed & botoxed. With deep spray on tans & creamy lotiony hands you cant grip a tacklebox. Yeah with all of these men linin up to get neutered, its hip now to be feminized. But I dont highlight by my hair, ive still got a pair, yeah honey, im still a guy"-->Brad Paisley
"All these modern day wanna b's,im proud that I can say I dont wear this hat for show or fame. No im not 1 of them posing pretty boys. Im an every day all the way 100% cowboy. I'll still tuck my shirt in & crease my old jeans. Yea when im layin in that old pine box, my family gathered around, they'll say there goes a dying breed.Yea Im a cowboy"-->Jason Meadows
"Well I had them on my lap so I could read them. I lit my cigar, the hot ashes fell on my crotch, and the map caught fire. I had the choice of either finding the house or burning up one of the most important parts of my body. Guess which I picked?"-The Great Walter Matthau
KNOCKED UP - Ben (explaining the conceptoin to his newborn baby): … & then your Mommy said, "Just do it already!" which was very confusing to Daddy, so I took the most literal translation. But between you & me, it was the smartest thing I ever did, 'cause now youre here.
AMERICAN BEAUTY - Lester: I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isnt a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure but don't worry... you will someday.
My philosophy on life is simple, enjoy it. That means do what you love, not for the money aspect. If you want to sky dive, do it, there's no reason to be afraid. If you want to hop in a race car, go 200 mph, do it. If you want to ride a bull, whatever, don't let that chance pass, don't regret down the road that you chose not to have that experience. My belief is to go after your dream's, no matter how big they are, don't be afraid to ask that guy or girl out (even if they’re the prom queen/king after all what's the worst that can happen she/he say's no?), I believe when it's your time to go, it's your time to go, so enjoy life while it last's, live with no regret's, go after your dream, give your all, gamble, go all in, NEVER give up!!!

Ashlee Simpson, I VOTE!!!
I think, I form my own opinions and I say them (no matter who is offended because afterall freedom of speech to me means well freedom of speech) and I don't just roll over like the majority in this country
Richard Nixon: “A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”
Last but not least, here's a little thing for you Democrat liberals out of the jackass party:
Are You Voting Democrat? If so here's the "intelligent" reasons why you are I guess:
I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves
I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.
"A Liberal is a person who will give away everything they don't own" - William F.Carling
I'm a car nut & along with the car talk I'd love to meet Jay Leno and Tim "The Toolman" Allen, whom are also both car nuts
Oh and yeah, I'm completely addicted to the Ice Cream, I have no clue how I'm not 500 lbs!
Some people are willing to give away there life;no family,but hey they have millions upon millions.Im not that,all I want is a simple life.I dont want to come home to a huge mansion but be alone in it.It isnt all about the money in life as some are,I myself would rather have a small cottage on alot of land,I do not need nor do I want a big huge 25000 sq foot mansion,nor a big huge yacht,I myself am happy with some jet skis/a small white wooden boat in a lake,thats me,you can take your big $10 million mansion, your wine cellar, i'll be happy with a small cottage, a white porch with a porch swing to lay out on and enjoy the beauty that is land
I love nature, hate being stuck in a house, or especially a classroom lol!!! No matter what season it is there's always something fun to do out and about instead of most nowaday sitting behind a tv or computer 24/7 ... GET OUT ENJOY THE WORLD :-) !!!
I love the country ... I like just old timey small town living type scenario, if you really know me, you will know Im sorta old fashioned in ways
I love the rustic, lake outdoorsy venue's around the US, which close to Nashville (where I want to live) I found the perfect place, Old Hickory Lake like Hendersonville to buy property and build on when done college!
EUROPE equals LOVE!!! To me Europe is just beautiful, I love the cities (I know I hate them here in the US but over there love) & I just love the architecture, it's not bland like most of the house's/buildings here just square boxes, same thing repeated over and over and oh yeah the women lol, especially love the women of Europe & Russia area! Ideally I'd like to spend some time in Europe for a length of time actually living there not on a short term vacation, I do love travelling though if you're not aware of lol, one of the things I really want to do is get a RV at some point in my life and travel all 50 states and see the state parks and other beautiful sights that America has to offer as well off the beaten path. But in Europe I would love to spend a period of time in for instance Wimbledon (London England), Prague, Amstersdam, Brussells, Ireland coast/highlands, and alot of other areas as well I'd love to do the same in AUSTRALIA sometime in my lifetime (Brisbane, Sydney, Queensland)!
You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. Live everyday to the fullest you possibly can. Go after your dreams, no matter how big or out of reach they seem. If you only try, never give up, you can accomplish anything

Support the Family Farm, Support Your Local Farmer & Buy Local! This is something I care about a lot. I lived in the same house from when I was baby up into reaching adulthood, in the beginning we were completely surrounded by farms, needless to say that is no more, there is only 1 and a half farm's left from the 5 that surrounded us before and they are disappearing like that everywhere. Another thing is if you've always bought your produce at a store instead of your local farmer, you've never tasted fresh produce; there is a world of difference! I myself love nature, I'm a country boy, I'm perfectly happy living out in the country, surrounded by wood lands, creeks, farms, that's what I want. What I don't want is to be surrounded by Walmart’s and other shopping facilities, etc. I believe in land conservation and I hope more of you will look into preserving land/helping preserve it and as I stated above supporting your local farm's. If you don't know how to do this, or need to find local farmer's and where they sell their produce/any other way you can help preserve land feel free to get in contact with me and I'll help you or if not I promise I'll be able to steer you in the right direction!
I love pig's!
An often overlooked place when it comes to conservation is the ocean and the animals within it. I love the water whether it be a lake, ocean, pond or stream and I love the animals within each. I have swam side by side with the "most dangerous" or so most people think animals of the ocean including sharks, barracuda, sting ray, etc. I have been a hobby fisherman for many years and not once killed or took a fish in that I caught. I am totally against such things as whaling, over fishing, championship shark fishing tournaments among others and as you see above, against the seal hunt being done by the Canadians yearly!
Did you know there are no regulations to what is being done to the animals that are suffering, being tested on? The animals are fully concious, with no pain killers while they are electricuted, burned and cut open. Think about that everytime you purchase a product that was tested on animals. Just remember all that they suffered and endured so you could have the prettiest nail polish and the best smelling shampoo ... I worked for a fortune 500 company as an electrician during my high school years as a internship. One of the buildings was used for animal testing (rats), I was sent there on a job once and I saw bags and bags of dead rats. People need not be afraid to stand up and speak your mind, I certinally did by telling my boss I refused to do that job and refused to do any more jobs in that particular building and I was still, nonetheless awarded the best co-op of the year nationwide for this fortune 500 company! I also never took part in a dissection just to say so and received straight A's. 
I love competition! That's why I love racing so much, there are very few things’ that match my love of music, and racing is one of em!
Yes I am a STRAIGHT male and like figure skating lol, I also LOVE hockey both. But hey I think being around the likes of a beautiful Kimmie Meissner or SASHA COHEN is much better then a Forsberg or Gretsky anyday lol.
