About merchantman
I was a US Merchant Marine for over 8 years. I have had the chance to travel the world, and see a great many things, and get to meet more people than I will ever be able to list. I loved the freedom of the job, but I had to leave it behind so that I could get on with MY life. I did my duty, and then I took the time to do some thing's for me as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to seeing many good opinions, and, I hope, writing some as well. Feel free to write me if you have a comment of any kind, or something that you wish to communicate. I expect this to be a very worthwhile effort.

As a final note, I do have very strong opinions, and when I express them I mean no offense to anyone... I am simply stating MY view. So if I should write something that you do not like, rest assured that I did not mean to offend. What's more, if I write something that you do not like, feel free to e-mail me, and tell me what you did not like. Update 09-11-2004: I have returned after a long time away from Epinions... I will get back to writing very soon, so please be understanding. Job update: Working In Quality Control in a very large multi-national corp. Promoted from button pushing CNC operator in less than six months, now I spend my days being fussy about things that don't get much larger than .001mm (thank you very much!). I am finding that I have a great deal to learn and loving every second of it!!!!!
