About Me

I'm a pretty laid back, nice guy who loves life. I'm a fourth-year dental student at U of M, with around 7 months left to go. I'm originally from Oregon and moved out here just to experience a new place while I still can. I love my friends and family, but unfortunately my family's out in Oregon and I don't get to see them too much these days. While I do love Michigan, the weather sure does suck. Snow all through the winter and thunderstorms every day in the summer? God must have a sense of humor. I love to travel. Seeing a new place for the first time is just a huge thrill for me. Generally, I'm one of those guys who gets along with everyone, whose friends feel they can trust, and am generally happy with the way my life is right now. I'm on this site mostly just to stay in touch and get back in touch with old friends.

P.S.

If anybody out there who reads this wears sweats in public regularly, could you please let me know why?  Other than just not caring about how you look that day?  Which is fine.  Or is i...

Are baggy sweat pants sexy?

So I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Ann Arbor supposedly studying for my boards (all three days of them) coming up this week.  Two undergrad girls were having this inane conversation, complaining ...

Hey all, I'm a little bored and tired but don't wanna sleep quite yet.  To update the situation, Jill and I are still at a standstill.  We see each other every now and then, but I really do...

Single again?

So I'm not getting married.  I don't even know how many people knew that, since I never posted it.  I got engaged on May 6 of this year, was happily planning a wedding a few weeks ago, but n...

Friday, 3 days from my long-awaited homecoming

Good news...I think I'm over Heidi.  Sometimes.  The bad thing is that I like to listen to country music, and so many songs are great, about loving and leaving, and moving on with your life,...

Update

Well, I'm on day 6 of being single again, and things are going much better.  I was pretty much completely over Heidi until Saturday, when she called me twice, the first time just to see how I was...

I don't get it...

My girlfriend Heidi and I just broke up.  We had only been together for a couple of months, but I was pretty excited about this one.  We had a great time together and in a lot of ways she wa...
