About Me

Jan 3rd 2007 - Ooh la la! Picasaweb kicks ass! I like! Check it out! My Picasaweb Album

Dec 6th 2006 - My phone went swimming in the laundry and drowned. I need a new phone. How about the K790a from Sony ?

Crazy things happen to me. That's the best part about life - you can never tell what curve ball LIFE is going to throw at you next. Live every day like it's your last, cos you know you'll never get a chance to relive today.

Most people find me incredibly hard to handle. I can't say I blame them. Few people have the energy to keep up with me. For example, just today, I worked a 10 hour day, went straight for my tae kwondo training and did a rocking two hour workout that left me barely able to stand. After training, I rushed home, showered, changed, grabbed a quick dinner, and went out to meet my friends at the bars. All in all, just another normal day for me.

My mind is never at rest. I'm full of crazy ideas, the energizer bunny on steroids, as spontaneous as a forest fire. Once you get to know me, you get used to me saying "duuuuuude, check out this great idea I just got...". If you're a predictable kinda bloke, I'll probably give you a heart attack.

But WAIT! There's more...

Do you look but never see? If so, you'll only see the shiny crazy party guy that lurks near my surface and you might never realize there's more to me. If you think you can handle me, then dig a little deeper.

I dare you.

My Interests

I love martial arts! They are the sun that my life revolves around. Well, not quite, but I really do spend a lot of time literally "kicking it". Gawd, I need to work on my sense of humor. My puns are killing me

I'm also somewhat of a (lazy) rock climber. Rock climbing gyms are fun. Outdoor climbs KICK ASS!

Nature is cool. Long walks on the beach are totally cheesy.

I appreciate good food, in particular, a nicely done piece of steak.

Yep, I definitely get my workouts in wherever I can. Can you imagine what a pain in the butt it is to change a car tire?

Like most other people, I am very open to new and unusual experiences. I'll try (almost) anything once. And if I like it, I'll try it a second time. And a third. Getting trapped in a phonebooth... well, let's just say I've tried it once and only once.

I have an artistic side. Photography is one of my mediums. I'm not card carrying PPGBA member, but I do like catching a good moment on digital film.

Other random shit...
Coffee, the way the air smells after a thunderstorm, rollerblading, spacing out at work, snowboarding, chess (yes, I play chess. Nerdy lil me)

I'd like to meet:

Maybe you... But I don't even know you! Next thing I know, you're gonna be asking for those photos of me in my Chippendales outfit! What am I? Easy?!

Let me get to know you first, then I'll consider meeting you. Alternatively, you could just get me drunk

...ponders...

If you look like this, please ignore what I just said and send me your digits!

Music:

Nothing plays sweeter music to my ears than a lady in the throes of a screaming orgasm. As long as she's not screaming in my ear, we'll be just fine. Did I just say that in public...?

Movies:

Click PLAY to hear some of my fav movie quotes!

Television:

Ah yes... I dig the boob tube!

Books:

Just finished reading:
Ghost - John Ringo
Interesting book with a very dark side. The rape scene I could probably do without, but the S&M stuff was yummylicious.

Heroes:

My parents - For everything. Words don't even begin to describe...
Dennis - For pushing me out of my comfort zone
Carrie - For showering me with unconditional love
