Failure is the best way to learn.

About Me

I really don't have much to say here. I am a full time student on the verge of graduation and the entry to the real world or grad school. Hopefully the latter so I can garuntee myself a job doing something neat instead of letting my degree sit and collect dust. I valet part time. It's the best job I've ever had. I hope to be able to do it till the day I can't run anymore. I am studying physics. I think a lot about really random stuff and I can't be blamed for my outburts of thought that permeate the boundry between my mind and tongue. I never know what to say till it's time to say it.

I'm a pretty liberal person. I have a very open mind. I'm mildly eclectic.
I can't ever think of how to sum up myself in a couple of sentences.
aim- thecrypticmaniac
Btw- If you want to add me as a friend send me a message, and I'll give you my email. I'm tired of the spam/bands/webcam whores.
