    About Me About me. What do I say, there is just so much to say that I don't konw where to start. I was in a motorcycle accident about 7 years ago when a lady ran a stop sign and hit me while I was on the way to Fort Gillium to leave for basick training for the Air Force. I spent 3 months in the hospital and 13 operations later I went to the road to recovery. But that isn't where the story takes off, only the preface to the book. After my accident I have learned a life that I didn't know exisited. I went to Montana and lived in Missoula, worked in Glacier National Park in north Montana and Canada, worked at the ski resorts in Steamboat Springs Colorad and Avon Colorado, now I am in Georgia working on my medical degree. So well there is alot about me that I don't even know. The door is always opening to new and great things. The way I see life, is we are here for just a short time. We need to make the most of what we have, and have what we make the most of. Remember, Never for Money, Always for Love, Follow the Music. Just when you think that you have life figured out, you get a curve thrown at you. You can't let life beat you, or you are just beaten. You must take all your energy to make the best of everthing, always. No matter how far you hit bottom, you can always look up at the top. As for the me, I am a out going person. I really enjoy having a good time and enjoy the company of many friends. I feel that I can do more positive work in a hospital. But other than that, there isn't much that I don't like to do, find out for yourself as to what I like, that is seeing that you have read down this far. Peace
    Music I enjoy all kinds of music, but when it comes to the raido and prefered music it will fall in to the area of techno trance and durm and bass, rock, and chill
    Movies Donnie Darko, Lord of the Rings, Edward Sissor Hands, more to come
    TV Heros, and pertty much all of Adult Swim
    Books Witch Fire Series, Clive Clussler
    Likes Walking in the rain, Cool fall nights, fall in general, Being out in Montana and Colorado, the mountians, many many others
    Dislikes not many at all
    Hobbies being happy
    Vices none
    Virtues being honest, true, kind, and trustworthy
    Heroes God

    Hey Rory,
    Both of the legs I have in my photos were made by my guy, Jeff, at Shriners Hospital. For the fish, I found the fabric at Wal-Mart and he laminated it to the socket. The Orlando Bloom is basically the same, I just printed out pictures onto that iron on t-shirt paper, ironed it onto some fabric and he laminated it. I'm getting a new one made at Walter Reed right now, and they are completely redesigning the socket, so I don't really know what the new one will look like yet. But, everything I've had so far has been pretty cool.
