About Me

Laid back and easy going. Optimistic. Quiet, except when I drink too much...then you can't shut me up. I'm kind of a nerd. I can be a smart-ass. I like to make people laugh. I've got a horrible short term memory. I love being outdoors, especially at the beach and in the ocean. You can't tell by looking at me, but I'm a hard-core headbanger: I love being in the pit at a kick-ass concert. Family and friends are the most important things to me. I look out for and take care of those I'm close to. I get along well with almost anyone, unless you have no common sense or whine about stuff. Life can be a pain sometimes, but if something is pissing you off do something about it!
