The Wildfire

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

About Me

Name's Oliver. I'm a ball of energy, always moving from one thing to the next with a passion for learning, living, and last but never least, loving. ;-)Want to know more about me, check out my blog, and for a somewhat different insight, feel free to check out my Livejournal or Xanga, since the posts on here are never the same as they are on those two.Check out the Xanga or the LiveJournal.

My Interests

Martial arts, soccer, poetry, writing, church, reading, football, basketball, volleyball, nature, hot chocolate, traveling, learning other languages, anything related to law enforcement or the military, making new friends, anime, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream LoL, Christian podcasts, podcasts on any topic I want to learn more about, and helping others.

I'd like to meet:

Soon I'll be in Denver, CO but the kind of people I'll want to surround myself with hasn't changed. I still want to meet vibrant people with a genuine fire inside, a real spark to the their touch. Intellectual, insightful and creative people who actually have deep and profound to say and who will challenge me to think from time to time. Fun people who love life even when they don't always like it, people with good, strong values and who actually care about others, people with lots of energy to share. And, if I should be so blessed, someone to share this journey called life with. ;-)
