I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like a good adventure, as long as it doesn't involve jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I have lived all over the United States. I have a rather offbeat sense of humor, and I would really like to eventually travel outside the US. I enjoy many types of cheese, on many different kinds of crackers. I enjoy photographing abandoned places and piles of garbage. I prefer red wine to white, and enjoy sushi as much as possible. Right now I am into experimental digital photography and trying my hand at illustration.
