well..... lets see......
ill start from the top......
My name is Andrew and im 22 years old..... i just got back from my second iraq tour and am enjoying my down time with my wife brittany and my daughter elizabeth.

my writing style is probably alot different that most (i could give a fuck less about grammar and punctuation, english was my worst subject in school but, come on, really, you fuckers know what im trying to say when you read my shit) but everyone that i let read it has liked it...... except some of the unamerican pieces of shit on this website that tend to think that what im doing is worthless..... they might change their minds when a sniper gets them in their sights..... but thats a completely different rant for another time....

its simple really..... if you like me you like me...... if you dont...... fuck you i really dont care cause i have all i need in this world with out you....

what else do you want to know? message me and i might tell you.....
Andrew

(This is a song that will forever be dedicated to my beautiful wife Brittany)

Staind Lyrics

Safe Place

Another day inside my world
Im married to you and this road
A road that never lets me sleep
Theres no way to escape these demons i am forced to keep

But then i find ...you here
Through your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now

I mean the best with what i say
It doesnt always sound that way
I never learned to work things out
Cause in my family all we ever seem to do to is shout

But then i find ...you here
Through your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now ...alone for now

When i try to sleep
The drugs i take
Are killing me
I think of you to ease my pain
But your so far

Now its time to say goodbye
I love u baby please dont cry

And then i find ...you here
And through your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now ...alone for now



here's another one by Staind
this is for Brittany and Elizabeth
i love you both more than words could ever express

(Something Like Me)


Shards of broken pieces
shattered on the floor
its not enough to bleed

tears and angry voices
cracks around the door
no apologies

and every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
how can somebody love something like me
if you could only say your sorry
there is nothing in this world I can't forget
waiting here for you to set me free

toys and colored pencils
scattered on the floor
underneath my feet

crying over nothing
always wanting more
you never go to sleep

but every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
how can somebody love something like me
and every time I feel im falling
she'll be there to save me from myself
little angel watching over me

the taxi's in the driveway
my bags are at the door
and it still kills me to leave

but every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
how can somebody love something like me
and every time I feel im falling
your the one's who saved me from myself
you give me something to believe

and with you here
these cracks and tears
fade away
