I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


So, who am I? Well, if you are what you eat, I’d probably be sushi. If you are what you do...well, I have no idea what that would make me.
I am...honest, straightforward, thoughtful and loyal. I'm a pretty calm person overall. Friends I'm sure would say that is an understatement. I consider myself pretty well-rounded and moderately intelligent. I love photography and have a failing business selling the results. But I could care less, I do it for myself, not for others. Other than that, I love traveling and exploring new places…I love the outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, snowboarding, etc. Getting into mountain biking here shortly…been wanting to for a while. I also love the indoors, whether it is a nice restaurant, a bar, simply sitting at home watching a movie or just hanging out with friends…I’m not a huge partier any more, just having moved from Chico, CA…party capital of the world. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still go here and there just not 5 days a week like we used to. I’ve always been an adrenaline junkie and want to find friends that will skydive with me…I would love to bungie jump or cliff dive again. I miss drag racing. I’m also planning on getting scuba certified this winter…there’s so much more, but I’m sure this is getting tedious…just ask, eh?
Oh...also, I am extremely driven and competitive when it comes to my career. I work hard, but my free time is mine...with that being said, here a quote that I found particularly worthwhile and describes how I live my life: "I have been at the bedside of many people in their final moments, when they stand on the edge of eternity, and I have never heard anyone say, "Bring me my diplomas! I want to look at them one more time. Show me my awards, my medals, that gold watch I was given." When life on earth is ending, people don't surround themselves with objects. What we want around us is people- people we love and have relationships with. In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later. Don't wait until you are on your deathbed to figure out that nothing matters more." Rick Warren
Oh, and if you are going to send me a random friend request have the common sense to send a message along with it...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


I would love to meet anyone who is interesting and challenging. Anyone who loves life and isn't afraid of change or new experiences and is just plain fun to be around...Anyone who thinks my photos are cool lol. I intend to have a ridiculous, absurd summer...anyone who wants to join, speak up!

Oh! And I have severe cravings for sushi pretty much at all times...If you love sushi, you get brownie points!

My Blog

A surprisingly good read about sex and relationships (from CL)

I apologize in advance for any possibly offensive language. I write these things from a human beings' point of view, not for religious conformity. These are things I've learned over the past three dec...
