I am here for Friends

About Me

I consider myself a warm, loving, intelligent man. I believe honesty, level-headedness and compassion to be extremely important virtues. Hard work is good for the soul, and can be its own reward. I can be insufferable at times, particularly when it comes to grammar and spelling. I am definitely a geek at heart, and see no shame in it. I tend to be relatively conservative, but in the right environment I come out of my shell with a vengeance. I trust until it's no longer deserved. I'd like to make new friends in Spokane, to make it feel like home.

The unexamined life is not worth living

Socrates had a good point with this, although I will twist his meaning a bit to fit my own.  Most people want to learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others.  I feel that most ...

To every season, turn turn turn
