Schutze

I am Schütze, obviously not my actual name and my photo isn't actually me. It is a representation of everything I strive for. I don't know why I'm here, perhaps I am searching for something. Well, that's not really a revelation. Everyone is looking for something.

I am a young man from the United States of America. I'm not like most people my age (I know I'm sounding like a special snowflake, trust me I am not one of those people). I believe in Faith, Family, Country. I hold Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Self Reliance, Industriousness, and Perseverance as values to live my life by.

I have my faults like all people. Nobody is perfect, but that is not an excuse. I am often bleak and sometimes have a dark outlook on things (ow the edge). I hold myself to a high standard and I fall and fail in some ways, but I will not give up. Always fight, always move forward, never surrender yourself to your failures!

One day I hope to raise a large family with a loving wife, a role in my community, and a productive future for my children. I need to work long and hard to secure these dreams. I will gladly sweat and bleed for these dreams to become my reality.

I enjoy reading. Mostly military books and non fiction, but I do enjoy medieval fantasy and science fiction as well. My music tastes really depend on my mood. Sometimes I enjoy 80's new wave, heavy metal, and jazz. Other times I enjoy classical compositions, big band swing, and folk tunes.

Now for the real question: Why am I here? Since I've been typing this out I have had time to reflect on this. I am here because I am lonely and I want to find other people to talk to and create friendly relationships with. As I said before, I have my faults. I am an introvert and tend to be shy. I can overcome my shyness by being outgoing and I have done this. I admit I need to do it more but I also need to release and be myself. So, that is why I'm here. To be myself.
