Passively pissed off... actively angered.

About Me

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands,
if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

What to say about me. I really don't know what to say in here. I am 25 and I live in Minneapolis. I like to play pool and spend time in coffee shops. Watch movies and fires in the fireplace. I am a web designer and photographer for a few major college sports websites. If you have any questions, IM me at mplsphotoguy on AOL Instant Messenger.
I work days and nights on the websites, weekends in the field. I travel to shoot the Division III Football and Basketball National Championships every year.
Lately I have been trying to determine why my life is going the way it is going the way it is and I am at a loss. I guess I just need some help finding the redirection and reconstitution that my life is requiring of me.
Perhaps someone here can help me find that, but I won't be holding my breath. Empty promises have filled the lives of the people that call them my friends and I am done with it.
Photographs are the artist's depiction of the world and reality as they see it in that moment of space and time. -- Me. July 13, 2005.
Added February 1, 2006:
So here's a little look into my life, k? I tend to jump headfirst into anything that might possibly remotely be decent. It's my fatal flaw. But I'm not a hero (and definitely not a heroine); I'm just a boy looking to make it through life on his laurels and keep running head-strong into walls.
And I make decisive mistakes... I'm flawed. I see things that aren't there and I get caught up in ideas that aren't always real.
But if you ask my friends here, the people I have met in person or been talking to for a long time (Stephanie, Sara, Jon, Mikey, Kirk, Megan, Marissa, Cristal, John, Kelley, Dave, Kerry, Jennifer), they can attest to it.
I am just looking to be happy with life and the people around me... They've been the most supportave people in my life and I would have it no other way.
You scored as Simon Tam. The Doctor. You have a gift for healing that goes beyond education. You took an oath to do no harm, even when your patients have tried to kill you. You are out of place where you are, being used to refined society. However, if you take that stick out of your arse you should be fine.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.
