About Me

whateverlife.com
78 degrees and sunny is my kind of weather, though those 10 minute Rocky Mountain thunderstorms are awesome. I love to read in my hammock, or by the fountains, where you get that nice, occasional mist from a summer breeze.
I'm currently finishing up my Master's degree and will be graduating this May. Afterwards, I'm looking to travel for a bit then score a job working for a small college or university library doing reference, instruction and digital work. I'm primarily looking at schools out west because I love the climate, the mountains and the national parks out there.
I'm an outdoor adventurer and will try most anything at least once. I recently went wakeboarding for the first time and it was awesome. Scuba, windsurfing and climbing are still on the list. When I have down time from school or work, I am almost always on the road traveling to see new places, snowboarding, paddling, camping, visiting friends or a combination of these things.
Carpe Diem!

*--------
Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style, someday
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
Moon River and me


*--------

Everything is everything.
What is meant to be will be.
After winter, must come spring.
Change, it comes eventually.
