About Me

My most recent photos: (click thumbnail to see larger size)

I'm fun loving, hate going to sleep when there's fun to be had! I love overcoming fear, coffee, plane rides, beautiful girls, basketball, traveling w/ friends, spring, summer time, sun/water, a shot a beer and a toke, driving w/ the windows rolled down and the music blaring! , sunny days

I hate succumbing to fear.

I love hawaii and nyc; my favorite natural beauty, and my favorite man made beauty. Ultimately my paradise lies within because when I'm happy with myself, I'm happy anywhere.

"And one day we will die and our ashes will fly
from the aeroplane over the sea,
But for now we are young let us lay in the sun,
And count every beautiful thing we can see"
- Neutral Milk Hotel
