About Me

when i was 19 years old, my best friend asked me if i wanted to go to california with him. we were in his car in northern mass in the middle of a blizzard. i had to agree with the bastard, new england was getting old. so we packed his car with all his shit and left that night without looking back. the drive across the country only took five days. it was amazing, one day i was in a blizzard weighing over 250 pounds, and the next i was in sunny san diego... and i had no clue what was ahead of me. over the past year in san diego, ive lost over 60 pounds and have completely changed my view on the world, society, and the universe itself. i love to read and hang out with friends. having long conversations about ridiculous encounters in lives fascinate me, and encourage my new admiration for our culture. people are funny, and its almost so funny because when you watch them, they dont realize how funny they are.so... to sum that all up, i love who i am. i think i am a terrific person, a great friend, and a bright individual. if any word could sum me up, it just has to be AWESOME.
