Who am I?
I am a "Man". I have done it all; I've lived, I've loved, and I have lost. I have witnessed death and I have saved lives, I've played on the sports fields just as easy as I have walked on the battlefield... I have tasted the sweat, the tears, and the blood of my victories as well as from my losses. I am a like every man out there who lives his life to the fullest... I am that Average Joe.
