Hello dear reader/visitor/badger,
this is the blog of an eighteen year old half Mexican half French Canadian male with a lumberjack's vocabulary.
I mostly reblog military pictures and stuff I find funny or thoughtful/interesting.
I also reblog lots of Band of Brothers/The Pacific/Generation Kill stuff. I'm planning to join the Royal Military College a year or two after I get out of high school to become an Infantry officer in the Canadian Forces. No, I'm not a homicidal maniac so fuck off. Iron Maiden is my strawberry jam. The bacon to my ears. The reason I've been learning the guitar since August of this year(and I still suck at it). I listen to just about any type of music besides R&B and most rap. Send me an ask if you're up for a bit of meaningless chatter.
Tumblr is where I spend all my spare time. You'll see death and destruction. You'll see kittens and puppies. You'll see what my idea of a sense of humour is(hint: it's dull and about as funny as watching somebody throw a bag of puppies off a cliff, which isn't funny at all). You'll see how awkward and stupid I can be. I will bitch about everything. You'll probably unfollow me within five minutes. And one other thing: my Canadian nationalism reaches a fanatical extreme, so you'll often see me rave about how fucking awesome Canada is.
I'm crazy, I have too much spare time on my hands, and, to the average human being, my thoughts and opinions are muddled and incoherent and fickle. Soooo...
If you value your sanity, press Alt+F4. And do a Google image search. For kittens. In a bucket. And try to forget you ever saw this blog.
You've been warned.
