I am here for Friends

About Me

Together Every moment that we are together, I am learning something, and that knowledge becomes a permanent part of me.Though my feelings will be different a year from now, or ten years from now, part of the difference is you.Because of you, I am a different person, and the person I will grow to become will have gotten there partly because of you.If you were not in my life right now, I could not be who I am right now, nor would I be growing in exactly the same way.I do not worry about our future together, since we have already touched each other and affected each other's lives on so many levels that we can never be totally removed from one another.A part of me will always be with you, and a part of you will always be with me. That much is certain, no matter what else happens. Unknown "true love has no limits."

My Interests

easily interested....i enjoy going to the movies (especially if it's a kids/family movie), going to the beach and collecting sea shells for my not yet created sand garden on my not yet rented porch , skateboarding, basketball, anything that involves exercise as long as it's with someone, eating ice cream, learnig about and working on cars----old cars, earning lots of money and spending lots of money...i'm still working at this, an occasional walk in the park, Ooh, Ooh, and driving....I love to just drive and listen to some good tunes (which is getting to expensive these days), and the personal favorite of chillin at home and being lazy for the whole day enjoying the weather that's outside....especially if it's raining....and hammocks

I'd like to meet:

...more than what I am now, more than love found, more than life lost, more than those who hurt me most, more than my dreams, more than comfortable, more than my hypocrisy, more than my addictions, more than our struggle, more than always running away, more than religion, more than the religious, more than loneliness, more than my defeat, more than the way my heart pounds when she is near, more than the changing seasons, more than their admiration, more than respect, more than their disapproval, more than what I've worked for, more than what I have found, more than the emptiness, more than guilt, more than each other, more than her smile, more than the shame that never lets go, more than being haunted by my wrongs, more than the new, more than I know, more than goodbye, more than the promises that he'd change, more than our futile efforts to forgive, more than all the tears shed, more than our frailty, more than disease, more than visiting hours, more than her last words, more than they ever thought i could be, more than the love i gave away too quickly, more than the love i held onto for far too long, more than the lies i believed, more than the fields of saigon, more than the machetes of kigali, more than the towers of manhattan, more than the cages of auschwitz, more than our innocence, more than the glimpses of beauty that call us home, more than all the ways we love and hope and bleed and hate and strive...more than this. "Trading Yesterday"----

Music:

music is alllll good from the bump to the swang to name a few.... Death Cab for Cutie, Avril Lavine, BB King, The Who, Bad Religion, The Strokes, Yellowcard, The Violet Femmes, Ani Difranco , Tool, Ben Harper, Rage Against the Machine, Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, The Desendents.....just some of the concerts I've been to and every single performance was well worth the price of the admission ticket....and Steel Pulse, but I snuck into Steet Scene.

Movies:

to many movies to list the ones i love...a few: Playing by Heart, The Notebook, Hanky Panky, Drop Dead Fred, and When Night is Falling...I am a sap for cheesy love movies, but do enjoy a good scary movie and not to mention the occasional action/comedy.

Television:

Bob Barker has retired. The science channel on Tuesday nights has the really cool space stuff. There is always something interesting on the Discovery channel. Most of the time I like to watch movies though.

Books:

some: Einstein's Dreams, The Castle in the attic for a nice 2 and a half hour read, The Valley of Horses just for the challenge, and Jurassic Park my very first novel as a child.

Heroes:

:All the fabulous people in the world that keep smiling with passion and purpose and and love, My parents of course in a unique way (who wants to be exactly like their parents?), My brother Andy and....

some poetry

Standing Alone It's exhausting to think of the wanting.  My soul reaching out, my body crying, and my mind lost. That one day where all of a sudden that one person stands out from the Rest. That...
