Hello all,
My name is Johnny. I am from Texas but stationed at Fort Bragg, NC right now. I am 24, and have a two year old daughter. Hmm...actually...i am going to cut and paste a profile from another website...that should be easier.
About Me: Well...I figured it was time to actually write up a profile. I have read some really good ones and had some interesting insights into a myriad of odd and new personalities. Well here is a small step into my life.
*Life in General*
I am 24 years old, I have a 2 year old daughter who is the light of my life when I get her from her conniving neurotic mother. I don't mind a little neurosis in my female aquaintances, it can be mighty interesting, but there is a place where you have to draw the line. I currently live with Carly, who is everything in my life that my daughter can not be. With the two of them together, I am almost complete(more on my completion later). Carly is still married, in the process of divorcing. For that matter so am I. Divorces don't go as fast as I thought they would. Anyhow, I guess that makes us happily married, just not to each other. I suppose that might be the key to being happily married, just don't live with your spouse. :) OK, and the final part that makes Johnny a complete and happy person(Johnny likes writing about himself in the third person, makes him feel important). ;) I am a Wiccan. What's a Wiccan you say??? A witch, a pagan, a heathen; a lover of the world, a lover of beauty, a lover of the dynamic ralationship we have with our planet; someone who believes in change through will, heart and divine intervention; a person who talks to trees, squirrels, faeries, and all other manner of things in this world and the astral that most will consider him weird for; someone who looks for signs from the unseen, portents from the weather, omens from the animals and doesn't mind asking a wave for advice; someone who knows that magic can change the world, and that such innate human traits such as love, courage, beauty, and compassion change it daily; someone who believes in the duality of the divine, that the God and the Goddess dwell among and interact with us in ways both seen and unseen, both felt and unfelt; basically, I am a tree-hugging-dirt-worshiping-hippie. More or less. I love my religion, I love my God and my Goddess, and I love the world they have provided for me to live in.
*Job*
This will be a short section. I am a radio operator and paratrooper in the U.S. Army. It doesn't fit well with my religion, I didn't convert until after I joined. Anyhow, it's a living, and I like the idea that I am serving the American people on a daily basis. I get out in less than a year. I don't know what I am going to do yet, but it will likly be serving the public again in one form or the other, or be a job where I can work with nature everyday.
*The World as I see it*
I truly do love the world I live in. Just as anyone else does, I have my moments in which people or things people do make me cringe. I try to keep those moments to a minimum. I believe that people in general are good. It is hard to stick to that sometimes, with all of the ugliness that is happening right now on our planet. War, violence, thoughtless killing of innocent people, the destruction of mother nature, and the lack of respect that many people show to each other constantly. It can seem overwhelming sometimes(I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you just be whelmed??? I think you can in Europe). Anyhow, the key to a happy life is spotting the beauty in everyday occurences. A babies giggle, kids playing in piles of leaves, and old man telling a story from the days of yore, a strangers smile with a hello, someone letting you cut in front of them in traffic, a sunset, rain, people helping people in times of need, a brother sharing his candy with his little sister, a dog whimpering in his sleep, a coy sexy look from a waiter/ess who you think is cute, a robin grabbing a worm from the grass early in the morning, a line of ants banding together to move a scrap of bread, a polite cashier at Wal-Mart, a note left on your car because someone bumped it while you were gone and took the time to let you know it was them and how to reach them, a wave crashing over a family at play in the surf, a kite in the air, tamed only by the person holding the strings, a scuffed up knee on an 8 year old and the chance to make everything better for them, smoke drifting lazily from the tip of a cigarette, and a rainbow when it's not raining on you. These are just a handful of the things you can see and enjoy every single day that can brighten your mood no matter what the circumstances. I remember at my great-grandfathers funeral everyone was sad including me, although I barly knew him. I looked at my grandfather, whos father was laying in wake, and saw a single tear roll down his weathered face. That was a moment of beauty in a time of sadness. You have heard to stop and smell the roses before. Well now is a better time than ever, so stop reading and get to smelling!!!
That was easier...the other website I took this from isn't a Wiccan website...thus the explanation. Anyhow I think this site is wonderful. I love the Dreams and Divination area...I enjoy interpreting dreams.
Anyhow...thats me!
