Lets get started now; shall we. Hi, how are you? My name is Andrew. I was born and raised in Tennessee; I lived there for most of my childhood. I have been living in North Carolina since 98'. I lived in north Charlotte for a year, then moved to Concord. Most of my values, morals, and viewpoints have been created while living here; So I'd say that North Carolina is more of a home to me than Tenesse is. I have been taught in private schools till the 7th grade. Public schooling brought on a whole new meaning to the words peer pressure, drama, and immaturity. Most of which i did not easily adapt to. I attended high school at Central Cabarrus High. During my Senior year I signed up for the Army National Guard. Partialy because i was interested, but mostly as a means to pay for college. I left for basic training literally 4 days after graduation. After that is the point that my head got screwed on straight. I currently have my college education on pause, while I am participating in Operation Eduring Fredom in Iraq. I can't wait to get back stateside in January!

I never really enjoyed school till I started attending ECPI in concord; studying computer electronics engineering. Now I look forward to going to class the majority of the time. When I get back home I plan to take a month of not working while I find a new job related to technology, or computers.

Fixing most things with electricity; especially computers and car audio. I like to keep an open ear to what other people have to say. I tend to stay calm after everyone else gets be pissed off and starts to throw fists.

I have an accent. Pay attention next time; you will understand what I said.

Researching forums while snacking on some mexican food and listening to Tool, Combichrist, Charlie Daniels Band, Nickleback, Guns n Roses, or some random rave music create a great enviroment when I am bored and trying to get something acommplished. I think it is interesting to see how people will change their taste in music depending on their enviroment, mood, or even who they hang around. So just stick a "bug" into the computer speakers of your best friend, and we will see if they really do listen to "Everything". People go around and blasting their rock tunes, then when they get into the parking lot some church that is really serious about their religion, they scramble to tune it to a "christian" radio station.

My familys encouragement and support.

Some form of communication to the outside world whether it be a phone, computer, or one of those really big horns from the old Ricola commercial.

Driving around with my friends. We may decide to go to the park late at night, or simply play around Walmart for a few hrs. Sometimes it is fun to simply go to the little kid's casino(nascar speedpark @ concord mills). Then hang out at Mcdonald's for a late night snack It doesn't really matter as long as you have your friends with you.

I have a mild case of ADD.
