Backpacking, discussing the trivialities of life, listening to music at obscene volumes, the occasional clubbing, waxing philosophic, snowboarding, literature, art, psychology, surfing, just hanging out and having a decent conversation
Someone who, after years of knowing them, still surprises the hell out of me
I don't random add, and if you randomly request my friendship, you will be tossed aside like a used condom. Such is life, no one cares about your amassment of e-friends...come to this realization and deal with it.Other than that I'm a pretty friendly guy :)Anything with a good beat and/or relatable lyrics
Anything that makes me think...
