Trying to find a balance.

About Me

I have a fantastic and beautiful girlfriend that lives with me. I don't drink, do drugs, or smoke. I'm a vegetarian. I ride a scooter everywhere. I'm a lefty liberal, I hate Bush, what sane logical person doesn't though. I like playing basketball but it seams damn near impossible to find 9 people that aren't assholes, aren't fat and lazy and would actually show up and not flake out. I find that to describe most problems in life involve one or more of those characteristics in people...assholes, fat lazy fucks and flakes. I hit the gym when I can. I guess I'm an interesting blend of ethnicities. My father was born in Germany, and my mother was born in the US, but her father is from Brazil and her Mother Puerto Rico. I live for music (600+ CDs) and my iTunes Library is simply out of control with almost 15,000 songs and 60gb of music. I love good creative music that pushes the envelope and/or makes beautiful sounds... hate bad music and bad movies. I understand we all have our guilty pleasures...as long as that's what they are and you admit it. I like traveling. In the US, I've been to LA, Phoenix, Tuscon, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, NYC, and over seas I've been to Rome and London. I know, kinda pathetic for someone who likes/wants to travel...but hey, It's tough finding people to travel with adult schedules and such. I work, I listen to music, watch movies, hang at coffee shops and bookstores with coffee shops....I love Espresso and Mint Tea....blah blah... Check it! I play with photography. Here's a link to some of my shtuff. http://www.pbase.com/michael_heimes
