About Me

Enjoy life because in the end I doubt anyone will miss you because of your great knowledge or experience, more likely it will be the simple things like a smile or kind word that will comfort them --- George Washington

My name is Chris and I am 23 years old. I consider myself to be open minded and optimistic. I am all about making the best of each moment and having a good time.

Im facinated by the simple things in life, but on the other end I enjoy thinking about the grandscale of things as well. I believe, there is so much to life and we've barely scratched the surface. Im determined to get as much out of it as possible before I leave this place. I may be only 23, but I've already purchased my own house and 2 vehicles!:)

If you want friend me, shoot me a message first since I have myspace set so that you need to know my last name in order to weed out fake accounts

I'd like to meet:

In general: I'd like to meet other people that are passionate about life and making a difference. People that like to think outside the box and discover what makes us tick. People that are dedicated and full of ambition, that hold tight to their dreams and wont stop until they've become reality. Visionaries.

Like a fire, you are full of power and light.
A born leader, you easily draw people toward you.

Heroes:

my parents - theyve always done what they could for my brother and i, even my friends. I could only hope to one day be like them when i decide to raise a family.

my brother - he has always believed in me even when I didnt believe in myself. he is the reason i have taken on my life and am creating everything i want!

Don Miguel Ruiz - Ive heard this man speak. He is such a powerful, peaceful, committed man. I was absolutely mesmorized by his words.
