I like words. I find something in writing that helps me breathe more calmly, and once I'm out of the military, only 10 months, I intend to use the money I'll receive for college (hopefully I'll attend Portland University) and take writing classes so I can polish my writing skills. Other than that I'm not a very serious person and I am a huge fan of sarcasm and humor.
