About Me

This is me according to you. I'm bold. I'm beautiful. I'm blunt. I think insecurity is unattractive. I love the outdoors. I appreciate everything I have, as well as don't have. I love to collect outdoor "gear." I am in love with Mike Ness. I get excited about traveling, Halloween, Christmas, hockey games, concerts, personal challenges, intelligence, lattes, cars, motorcycles, staying in hotels, dive bars, sparring, tattoos, waking up at 6 am to drive to the mountain to catch fresh tracks, camping, ROAD TRIPS, parties, my carhartts and having fires. I'm a Democrat. I recycle. I hate cats. I love pitbulls. I'm die hard Irish. I love my family. I wouldn't survive without my friends. I love the seasons...the smell of fall, the powder in the winter, the colors of spring and the energy of summer. I'm all about lakes, fire and snow. I know what I want. I am fiercely independent. Coffee is my heroin and I'm easy like Sunday morning.

My Interests

Coffee, coffee, Guinness, hiking, skiing, raquetball, horseback riding, biking, pilates, motorcycles, running, working out, muay-thai boxing,dreads, listening to the rain, reading, writing, philosophy of life, common sense, camping. People with depth, seedy bars, tatts. Making others laugh...at others.

People who are fanatic about the outdoors. Those that are hilarious. I'm a sucker for men who wear hoodies. Henry Rollins."Society can accomodate itself to the humble laborer, but it justifiably mistrusts the mad thinker..." Valentine

Spanish Harlem

I'm pretty sure I got my wallet stolen yesterday by 2 very tiny Spanish women and I'm pretty sure I got it back.  Let's just say it involved me, my guns, a dude from Canada, his guns (that were p...

stranger things have happened

My time here is winding down and i'm really quite torn about it... If it wasn't for Thai boxing, I'm not sure how I would have walked away from this experience.  It has taught me to look a little...

blissfully unaware

St. Paddys in Ireland

Where do I start?  On our first night in Ireland, Erin tells me she is dying to go to Temple Bar (which is weird because she's not a huge drinker).  I oblige because I am.  As we're cha...

Ok, so I'm totally confused.  I went to the doctor today for a blister, yes a blister.  And those of you that know me know that I wouldn't go to the doctor if my arm was dislocated, but this...
