About Me


Myspace LayoutsA bit about me...I would hope that when I die, they say he burned like a rocket. I spend a lot of time trying to avoid boredum, and you can pretty much always find me doing something. I value my friendships, and believe there is more than enough room for more. I consider myself worldly, as I have been across the planet on many occasions and have seen many things in my travels. I have been to the Great Wall in China, seen the Terracotta Worriors, enjoyed Peking Duck in Peking, Drank Singapore Slings in Singapore, and stood on the palace steps of the Forbbiden City,. I have been to a temple festival in Burma in a desert villiage with 1000's of temples, to the floating city in Bankok Thailand. From the Panama Canal to the peaceful islands surrounding Bora Bora. I have been up and down mainland Mexico, smoked Cuban cigars in Colombia, swam with the sharks and rays in Morea, got married on the beach of Maui, and hiked a volcano on Hawaii. I've hiked a trail in the cloud forests of Costa Rica, and rode horse back in the jungles of Puerto Villarta. I went the worlds fair in Canada, ski patrolled Squaw Valley, fought wild fire in Montana, and saved lives in Napa as a paramedic. I recently saw the Norther Lights in Alaska when it was -28 degrees and I have fought fire in Butte county at +114.If I could give advice...dont take anything for granted. Stop to enjoy the sunset and perhaps smell the flowers, travel the world, enjoy a beer with new friends even if they are friends for the day, and don't be fruggle with love.

Day 11

I awoke this morning to the soft rocking of the boat, and the sound of rippeling waves licking the side walls. I threw open the hatch to see my sails filling with the gentle breeze. The slowly rising ...

Day 7

I'm sitting on the edge of the boat, feet dangling in the cool, still water. My arms resting on the cable rail that holds me back from diving into certain doom. "Surely I can swim it!" I say aloud. &n...

Ships Log~ Day 1

  The Ocean is as smooth as glass.  Not a ripple to be seen for what looks like miles. I haven't seen another ship pass my way in days and even the gulls have abandoned me. The weather ...
