About Me

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

My Interests

All right, here it goes...
I am looking for friends, preferably 21-30.
I love people who are spontaneous, caring, funny, and honest.
I am not a competitive guy at heart; I like to play sports like tennis, racquetball, and pool that are low on ego.
I like doing what most 20 somethings do... you know shopping, going out, drinking, dining, traveling, laughing, cooking, video games, and technology. But, I love new things and people keeping me on my toes!

I'd like to meet:

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped into the next room.
I am I, and you are you:
Whatever we were to each other, we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name;
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone;
Wear no air of solemnity or sorrow;
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we enjoyed together;
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever
The household word that it always was.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.

What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort.
You are not a very grounded person. You prefer dreams to reality. For you, it's all about possibilities.
You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself.
Your near future is in a very different place (both physically and mentally) from where you are right now.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul
You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Picky
You have no problem attracting guys - and even dating a little
It's just around second or third date time where you start to see faults
If a guy isn't near perfect, you're not into him.
It's good to have standards - but yours rule almost everyone out. Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

My Blog

Heartache came to visit me, but I knew it wasn't ever after...

It wasn't heartache per se. I just moped most of last night away. I had the South Park marathon to keep me company. My friend, K, never got back to me about helping him move... I WAS STOOD UP. I find ...

Feeling like a million bucks

Spontaneity. I can't say that word (or spell it?). Yet, this word gets me into the greatest situations. This guy, this incredible guy, someone I was introduced a while ago walked into my life. Spontan...
