Hhhhmmmm, what are my interests....Well I graduated from the University of Oregon, go ducks!I just recently moved from New York City back to Oregon. I spent two years in New York and accomplished a lot, I have to say it feels pretty damn good to be back on the west coast though. Don't get me wrong, New York treated me very well. It kicked my ass every day but I experienced far above and beyond what I ever would have imagined by moving there. It was amazing. I met some people that blew me away, I learned more than I ever have about myself, the world, people, money, acting/modeling, humanity, drugs, you name it, I learned about it in NY. Now it's time to sit in the grass in Oregon, reflect, let it all soak in, ground myself, reconnect with my origins and prepare myself to move to Portland and start a whole new chapter...What else do I love. I freakin' love animals. Dogs and cats love me and I love them right back. I love my few close friends. I like my many distant friends. I love the country side, I miss my old car, I miss driving it around in the valley in La Grande listening to music and smoking cigarettes, sometimes with a good friend, boyfriend, or the best was by myself. I love the stars. I love noticing how beautiful the world is in small moments by myself. I love connecting with people. I love knowing how to make someone laugh and doing it over and over and over. I love good beer on tap and being with my brother and sister. I have very few best friends. Me and my cousin Kaci have been best friends since she was born, I love her to death, literally. Me and Stacey have been best friends since we were the most awkward couple of kids in 7th grade. I love being by myself, but I also have to be around good people to be sane. I don't like shallow friendships. I don't like shallow dates. I love performing, even though it will always scare the shit out of me. Which is why I love it. I look forward to doing more in Portland. I love partaking in the ocassional late night Taco Bell or McDonalds. I love Dave Matthews, one of the very few singers who have made me cry with their music. I love Oregon, almost to a point where it feels unhealthy and an obsession. I will try just about anything once. As long as you don't inject it, I'll probably try it. Not acid though. I like pot. Used to like it a lot more. I love London. I love Morgan Lake. I love camping. REAL camping. As in no toilet camping. Just a tent and a fire pit camping. Dirty, sunny, swimming, canoing, stars, smores, not caring how you look, drinking beer camping. Real Oregon camping. I live for it. I wish it was my every day. Just being outside, in nature with all your friends or family, or both, and having absolutely no agenda, no phones, no tv, no subway, no buildings, just a deck of cards, and the sound of the water running. I'm a nature boy at heart. I do whatever my heart tells me to do. To branch out, to experience, to explore, to learn, to grow. I've already done a shit load in my lifetime and I'm excited to see what else I can do before I'm old and shitting my pants.
I'd like to meet:
If there were anyone in the world that I would want to meet, it'd be Jesus. Did he have super curing powers with his hands? Maybe, maybe not. But I do believe that he was a real breathing human and an incredibly spiritual person who was very in tune with the world and I feel like we could have some great talks over coffee. I'm sure he'd drink decaf.Also I'd love to meet Alanis Morrisette. She seems very grounded and able to articulate things in life that I've always had a hard time articulating and I'd love to talk about anything with her.I'd also love to meet my ancestors. The people who preceded me. Way before me. I've heard all these crazy stories about how my grandfathers mother came to America as a stow away in some ship having to feed her baby brother by spitting food into his little mouth. And they somehow survived the trip and living in America, and now their children's children's children are my generation. And then on my other side of my family my Grandfathers Dad came over to Oregon on a wagon from Missouri. Seriously, a wagon. People have struggled so immensely to give their future generations a good life in the free world and I would love to sit down with them and tell them that since they risked everything me and my family and everyone before me were able to live in this country and here I am with my college degree and the ability and courage to go out and do anything, and none of that would have been possible if these people hadn't risked everything. I'm sure just about everyone's family has some story like that from the very beginning, it's just something I think about and I'd like to thank them. And also see if theres any slight resemblence. I think it'd make me a lot more thankful if I knew how much struggle and hardships happened to the people before me.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
I love everything. I love everything from fishing to playing my play station 2, to shopping, to concerts, to the cross word puzzle in the back of People magazine. I'm all about balance. I have to have a social life but I also have to have time alone. Sometimes I stay up partying until the sun comes up and sometimes I focus on taking care of my body and living well. Everything in moderation. I love extremes. I'm either in the heart of NYC or in La Grande Oregon. I think Portland will be a perfect balance. I have yet to find someone who doesn't like me. Try to not like me. Seriously, just try.
Music:
I love all kinds of music. I love Alanis, Dave Matthews, Ben Folds, anything that has something to say. But then again I am also a big fan of the pop music. I love Britney Spears. Despite everything...I love her. I can't get enough of her. I even went to the B. Spears concert and I'm not gonna lie, a little tear rolled down my cheek when I saw her. Even though she's a knocked up southern trash girl, there's still something about her, I can't stop looking at pictures of her, maybe I need to join a support group or something. Eh, fuck it. I really am open to all kinds of music. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Bjork, Bob Marley, Elton John. I'm finding new people I love all the time. I finally got into Lily Allen. If I were to list all my favorite bands or artists it'd just be a long long page of names and who wants to read that?
Movies:
First of all, I'm obsessed with movies. I own a bunch that I can watch over and over. I mostly own funny movies and classic movies, I'm not into movies too down. At least to own anyway. Favorite movies would be like, What the Bleep Do We Know?, Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle, Brokeback Mountain, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Love Actually, Drop Dead Fred, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Moulin Rouge!, Best in Show, Scary Movie trilogy, Naked Gun trilogy, damn, I just listed three trilogy, that's some crazy shit, any truly scary movie other than Exorcist, fuck that shit.
Television:
The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and I truly appreciate the intelligence in South Park. But I like other shows other than reality TV and cartoons. I love Reno 911, and now my all time favorite tv show is ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Possibly the most underrated tv show of all time. No show can make me laugh like that show can.
Books:
I still have a hard time getting into reading since college, but when I do read it's usually books on spirituality. I'm in the middle of a book about buddhism, I love "The Secret" and I'm a big fan of Deepak Chopra's "The Book of Secrets." I guess I should get more into novels and classic books. Right now I just like reading books that help put things into perspective.
Heroes:
Superman. I've always adored Superman since I was able to know who superheroes were. I don't really follow the comics, but I do like the movies. I've just always loved what he stood for and I've always wanted to fly on his back. I love him so much that I got a little tattoo on the symbol on my lower stomach/hip when I turned 18. I figure it symbolizes my entire childhood from 4-18 in one little symbol.
