About Me


9/11 = Inside Job!
But you don't have to take my word for it:
Scholars for 9/11 Truth
Infowars - Alex Jones
Prison Planet - Alex Jones
I'm a realist with idealistic overtones.
I'm well-versed, but usually not well-spoken.
Note: I very rarely use this site so please don't be offended if I don't reply to a message in a timely manner or accept your friend request. It's certainly not my intentions, but I'm far too busy to be on this site all the time.
During the winter, I become the manifestation of snowboarding itself. I've logged 14+ years as a snowboarder, five of them as an instructor, and designed/built/maintained the terrain park at Nordic Mountain during the 2005/2006 season. Snowboarding has allowed me to compete in the USASA National Championships at Northstar at Lake Tahoe in 2006. That was the experience of a lifetime. I qualified again in 2007, but did not attend the National meet, but have every intention in 2008.
During the non-winter months, I bide my time with the following:
- Audio Production (both Studio and Live)
- Graphic Design
- Website Design
- Disk Golf

My Interests

Snowboarding, Live Music, Audio Production, Website Design, Graphic Design, Designing and building Terrain Parks, Piercings, Penguins, and all animals that can bite back.

I'd like to meet:

- Passionate people

I do not wish to meet the following:
- People who post "Comment my picture" bulletins. (You will instantly be deleted)

- People who have 50 pictures of themselves on their page. (You will be ignored by me cause your page takes too long to load.)
