About Me

Well, it's been a while since I've updated this, so figured this would be a good time to. I'm a very inquisitive person who likes to learn how everything works. In my younger years I was a bit of a goof-off, but I'm trying to make up lost ground now that I've seen my errors. I'm currently trying to earn a degree in Physics (minor in math), but it's still early in the process, so it could change or grow from there. I'm still unsure what I want to do with the rest of my life, but the 2 options currently on my thoughts are to be around other great minds in a prestigious scientific lab, or actually use the learned knowledge over the next many years to teach in a University. Again, it's still a work in process, but I'm dedicated to do something big.As far as my personality, I'd say I'm a friendly person. I've never been into a specific group, but many different types. I love to be in a group setting, or alone with my own thoughts. Just depends on what's been going on and the mood I'm in.I'm currently big into cars (Honda's to be specific). I've had my hands in the automotive scene for close to 10 years now. I don't fit the normal Honda owner stereotype though since I'm more interested in power and performance. I'm big into quarter mile racing (current fastest time is 12.75 all motor), and I hope to drop that lower sometime in coming year, but handling and corners is starting to bite on my heels, so I may go to more AutoX events and improve my ability.

My Interests

My biggest interests are Cars and nature of sorts. I love to spend free time on my car trying to pull more potential out of it, and then taking it out and testing it to it's limit. As far as nature, I'm a big redwood lover, and love to spend endless days under them. I spend huge chunks of off time camping, and now I'm getting into backpacking. Normal camping is great if you just want to relax for a few days. Backpacking requires more effort, but it offers endless freedom. Which I do really depends on my mood, though I find myself wanting to backpack more. Something about being able to go anywhere, finding that perfect spot to reflect on life far away from everything and everyone.

I'd like to meet:

Who do I want to meet? Well, nice people I guess. People that challenge my intellect, or let me challenge their's. I'd love to get to know those from my past, and those that I will know in the future.

Music:

I like a lot of different types of music, but if I had to pick a specific genre I'd have to pick alternative/rock. I play the electric guitar so that type of genre is kinda a must, but I just like a heavy drum beat and a little guitar.

Television:

Not to much of a TV person, and find less and less time to sit and veg. I'll normally flip from channel to channel until something interesting comes on. Majority of the TV I watch is the Discovery channel and Spike TV.

Books:

Does my Powerbook count as a book, J.K. (big Apple geek if you can't tell)!

My Blog

Our wonderful legal system, NOT!

Ok, I'll try to make this as brief as possible. Anyway, I was summoned to jury duty today, and wasn't sure if I wanted to go or not. But once there, for a while, I was actually interested to see how t...

Most that know me, know I'm not the most feeling type. But these are a few thoughts I had to get out. Just recently I met up with a long time friend from high school, and you know with that come memor...
