Happiness is the moral purpose of life

About Me

I'm a cityboy who grew up in the sticks. Growing up, I couldn’t hit my neighbor’s house with a rock from my yard, now I can't miss. I wouldn't live anywhere else if you paid me, but I love the woods. I go camping a lot during the summer and enjoy hiking and mountain biking to get my fill of the woods, but I couldn't live for long without my corner store. I grew up skiing and snowboarding, but haven't been either in way too long. I love soccer and play as much as possible. I like to swing dance and would love to learn to salsa, but I'm not a fan of clubbing. I am fanatical about proper English, but my spelling sucks. I don’t cause as much trouble as I used to, but I still have a mischievous side. I am extremely loyal to my family and friends and would do anything for the people I love. I am intelligent and rational, but passionate about my loves. That quote in my headline is from the Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. Read it. It's great.

My Interests

Reading, Politics, Soccer, Camping, Live Music, Biking, Long Boarding, Motorcycling, surfing, disc golf, pretty much anything active and outside.

I'd like to meet:

Rational, confident individuals. Objectivists. Realists. I'm looking for people of substance and value. People with a moral compass and belief in objective truths, not subjective excuses. I will not make excuses for my actions or words. I say what I mean and mean what I say. If you can't handle it, leave me alone.Motorcyclists. I just moved to San Diego and got my license and my bike. Now I need people to ride with. I plan to start Surfing soon and I'd like to meet people who can help me learn. I like to spend lazy Saturday's wander around the disc golf course. Anyone want to play a round? Also, as a newly relocated person, I'm looking for people to hike or mountain bike with.

Indie rock...or whatever

Lisa has really kicked my butt to get off it and enjoy the scene here. We've got a lot of great venues in Philly for good rock. I think I like heavier stuff then her, but once she finally moves here, ...

Open minded

What so great about being open minded? If you're right, you don't need to be open minded. Some people are so open minded, their brains fall out.

Selfish Love

"I love you. As selfishly as I exist. As selfishly as my lungs breath air. I breath for my own necessity, for the fuel for my body, for my survival. I've given you, not my sacrifice or my pity, but my...

I was out the other night with a few friends and we were discussing fidelity. It seems that I am one of the few individuals left in the country that actually thinks it is possible to remain faithful t...
