My name is Russ and I am a US Marine. I'm in Iraq for a little while longer, but I'm orginally from Indiana. I'm stationed in North Carolina, though, so I guess I'm all over the place ;) I love to read all things literature, all the way from Geoffrey Chaucer to T.S. Eliot to Stephen King. I'm also an *aspiring* writer when I'm not running around in a DESERT WASTE! I also like to play and watch any sport except golf, which makes me so mad that I think I might die of a brain hemorrhage when I play. I always make time to party with my friends, because when that dirty whore in ur life rips your heart out and eats it like candy, your friends will still be there to forcefeed you beer. I like all music, except polka, which just sucks. Sorry to any hot Polish chicks!I'm an easy person to talk to but a hard person to know. I think that things are rarely black and white but that there are answers out there. I make stupid mistakes and typos, but I have an IQ of 147. Here are some fundamental truths that I've found. Or maybe they are just my opinions... either way.Fat people need to get the fuck over that "retaining water" shit. You're retaining crisco, tubass! Iraqis need to move on from trying to terrorize us. We'll leave when we wanna leave, bitch, and not a second sooner. People who post negative comments on other people's pages are usually, though admittedly not always, vastly insecure people who get kicks from shitting on other folks. This is typically caused by the anger of having a small penis, unless they are a "female." Then it's because they have a big penis. ;) You should give out your word sparingly. A promise should never be made unless the giver is absolutley sure he/she can follow through and keep it. Therefore, don't promise stupid shit if you have even the slightest idea that you can't swing it. If you DO make an ass of yourself and make a stupid promise, you STILL have to keep it. You cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be excused for breaking a promise. Ergo anyone who is guilty of this can only be trusted to an extent you deem apropriate. Children are the salt of the earth, and should be allowed to flourish in a healthy environment. People who abuse children are secretly sending me a coded message that says something about how they've always wanted a boot to come sailing out of the air to kick their teeth out of the back of their skull. I'm a giving person :)Chivalry may be dying, but if you have a penis you should conduct yourself as a gentleman. You don't hit the ladies, even if they are yelling at you and smacking you, unless it is a random, unprovoked attack by someone you don't know/hate and they go for your nuts. Then punch that bitch in the nose. Tara Reid is the hottest woman on the face of the earth.Pete Rose should be in the hall of fame.Michael Jackson makes awesome music, and the fact that he's on trial for all kinds of crazy things does not take away from that. It makes him suck, not the songs.Ty Cobb might be the greatest ball player who ever lived.Allen Iverson is a douche bag.Peyton Manning is the best QB in the NFL.Johnny Unitas was the best QB to ever play the game.George Bush is between a rock and a hard place, and his attempts to get out are making my ass hurt.John Kerry is a bitch. But maybe he'll stay away from my ass.Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are racist idiots, and they should be shot.Colin Powell deserves the respect of everyone.Slavery was an atrocity.I had nothing to do with it, and I'm not paying reparations. Racial profiling is racist.So is affirmative action.Sometimes abortion is necessary. Period.The pro-choice activists who see nothing wrong with partial-birth abortion anger me.I want to hit them in their faces with a sledge hammer. Most homeless people are homeless because on some level, they want to be.That's fine by me. Live free or die, and all that. I won't tell you how to live if you don't pester me for spare change.Rodney Carrington is the funniest man alive.Dane Cook,Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Sean William Scott and a few other rank a close second.Chris Farley used to be number one.Amy Lee has the most hauntingly amazing voice in the world.T.S. Eliot might be the smartest person to ever grace out little planet. His brilliance makes my head hurt.-------update-----I'm not in Iraq anymore. I'm not even in the Marine Corps anymore. I went and got myself hurt, and now I'm a psychology major at Purdue. I'm also minoring in law, and I want to go to law school after this. I live in Gemini House and I party more than can possibly be healthy for anyone, but I've got good grades! 3.29 GPA!!! WOO!! Who says you can't get plowed three days a week and still be successful!?BOILER THE FUCK UP!!!"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. " ~Frank Sinatra
