I swallowed a bug.

About Me

Hello, I'm Mike, or Michael, or really whatever you'd like to call me, so long as I know you're talking to me, I'll most likely pay attention. I'm 24, sometimes going on 30, other times going on 10 (but don't take that in a bad way, I'm just still in touch with my inner kid). I'm an artistic person, I enjoy drawing and painting. I've even sculpted a few pots. My mind is a little left of center, I have a way of seeing things not quite the same way everyone else sees them. I'll solve a problem, but it'll be in a way that won't be the normal method. I'm something of a geek, but not afraid to admit it. My family and friends mean the world to me, Anywho, though it might not show up through this blurb, I have the wonderful ability to ramble on and on about things if I really get into them, but I'll spare you and put that on hold right now. Feel free to write, talk to you later!

My Interests

Art. I love to read. Music, even though I can rarely hold a note. In a strange (it used to be anyway) turn of events for a Georgian, I'm a hockey fan. I used to have a weird dislike for shoes, I came up with some reasoning as to how they were the root of the world's problems, but that was just one of my things (I've kinda gotten over it); It's not nearly as crazy as it sounds (actually, it might be), it's in a blog somewhere if you really want to know. Mostly though, I like making things, I like the feeling of knowing that something is there now because of me, even if no one else recognizes it. I love to take pictures, most of the time they turn out looking good, sometimes bad, but I love taking them and wish I could do more. And I'm a film kind of guy, I can use digital and appreciate it's value, but I prefer using film, I think it's that I like to have physical proof (or it's the fear of file deletion).
