The main idea I had behind the name Focused Sketch was to show that though things may be hazy at times, through focus and determination, ideas can become clear and can shape the outline into a clearer picture.
Some of you may recognize a few things missing and a few things added to my page.
"But why Kris?"
That's what you were thinking in your head 3-5 seconds ago... Whelp, the answer is simple my probable friend. I decided that now is a time of new beginnings.
"But what's so new with you?"
That's what you were thinking to yourself then & since your not as good of a psychic as I am, I'll tell you...I recently moved into a house with a few friends and now after 2 years, have a vehicle on island...YaY me! On top of recently recovering from a collapsed lung and a 9 month relationship, I've realized a few things about who I am and what I want from life. Simply put I'm taking the clean slate approach and hoping to learn more from the world and those who decide to include themselves in mine...
More about me...
I'm a quizi alcoholic when it comes to Guinness. I'm guessing that growing up in a city called Dublin subconsciously had an effect on me.
I'm ridiculously allergic to bug bites. Not deathly, but I always seem to get eaten alive. =<[br />I'm an only child but kinda raised myself after the age of 14 since my mom was trying to support us and always seemed to work later than I would have perferred.
I freakin LOVE listening and singing along to oldies. I'm a spaz. It's cool.
I might have an oral fixation because I chew the shit out of straws alot and randomly find myself brushing my teeth throughout the day.
I rock the hand gestures with the best of em. Watch out Jazz hands...
I enjoy "pen time"... it's when I get to sign my name on receipts or just doodle.
One of my favorite things to do is take scenic pictures. I'm trying to start up a little side job with some photos I've taken around the island and from my travels, but not too sure when I'll be able to find the time.We'll see...
I try to make others smile as often as possible.
I read the dictionary... and the thesaurus.
Whenever I go to the grocery store with someone I always try to ride in the shopping cart... Just a pre-warning.
I enjoy the scent of vanilla, baking sweets, and freshly clean laundry
I'd gladly give a high-5 to the makers of most board games... yatzee bitches.
I require a steak atleast every 12 days.
I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar, but am finding that I'm really not too patient with it.
Before being in the navy, I worked as a paint specialist at Kelly Moore Paints. Before that, I served up the soft serve at TCBY. Endulge in my lameness. Ha!
I play thumb wars.
My dream car is a BMW M3.
I currently drive my Grandma's car. She passed away June of 05'. It's a sentimental thing.
I have a 4-Year plan.
I've discovered that peanut M&M's are the poor mans crack.
I'm pretty darn good at nearly all bar games: Pool, Darts, Quarters, Ping-Pong. Not so Much with beer pong... Your stomach can only take so much Guinness so quickly before it just says "NO MORE!"
You'll usually find me at the beach swimming and tanning atleast one of my days off.
Some of my fondest memories include sleeping on a friends floor all summer, Taking road trips along the East Coast nearly every weekend for 2 months, experiencing what seemed like a whole new world while in Germany after 3 months at sea and partying durring the World Cup & showing up to an advancement test blitzed and deciding that I'd toss up the hawk to do better on the test. Amazingly enough THAT didn't work out so well. May have had something to do with the fact that I fell asleep for a good part of it and rushed to complete it in time. When in doubt C out?
Life is really just beginning for me at the age of 23 and am honestly pretty excited to see what things can come of it... Why not be right?
