About Me


I need someone to understand. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life that have finally put me on the right path. I'm trying to make the best of everything that has happened to me. It's hard to look past the past when it is what brought you to where you are and where you will go. I've spent over half my life hating myself and trying to be someone else. Being someone else brought on most of all the things that have caused people to lose trust in me. I can't change what I did in the past, all i can do is be better from here on out...without anything to hide.
Handy Dandy List O'Things 'Bout Me
I'm weird. Sometimes I'm an idiot that makes bonehead decisions. I can be smart when I feel like it. Old Mustangs are my thing. I can strip one down and rebuild it damn good if I do say so myself. Just don't let me drive one. When I get nervous, I get extremely quiet and I flick my barbell like mad. I pride myself on being an awesome listener. Driving fast is like breathing to me. It just happens. I'll do anything and everything I can to help people I care about. I'm stubborn. I don't have a problem admitting when I fuck up and I won't let anyone else take a fall for me. I believe that you only get as good as you give. Opening up to people is something that isn't easy for me. Writing is the only way I know how to get everything out. I can play the piano, guitar and 3 types of saxophones. Vodka is my drink of choice. I ♥ Dr. Pecker. I think too much. I'm different. Sometimes I speak without thinking and that gets me in trouble. Fuck is my favorite word. I love the beach even though I live far from it. The only thing that beats a sunset is a sunrise. I'm a huge dreamer and sometimes I forget about reality. I have a sleeping problem. Looking back seems to be a huge problem for me. If you think you know everything, you were probably a short bus window licker. Licking windows is fun. Don't expect me to move fast because I won't. I have three pet ducks. Cheese pizza is my favorite thing in the world...well, almost. I tend to forgive when I should forget.
"That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
Marry me and I’ll fade into the ocean and become the dream you’ve never thought you wanted. Kiss me and I’ll leap to the stars to bring you back a piece of heaven that could never match the light in your eyes. If I sound corny, slap me, shy away and only speak that of what doesn’t make me sound like I am a boy in love with a girl who stole his heart away and couldn’t care less.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much; he who loses faith, loses much more. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. You and me...you brought a friend...and then there were three...we started our group...our circle of friends...and like that circle...there is no beginning or end...yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present.

My Interests

True love is the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another.

One bump in the road can change your life forever...literally.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

I'd like to meet:



I know there are very few of them out there, but people who mean what they say.

People make mistakes. People say things in the heat of the moment. People aren't always perfect no matter how hard they try or want to be. People are human. Humans falter, but they only fail when they stop learning. Someone that knows and understands that.

Losing hope means that we’ve given up for a moment. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If you can dig inside of yourself and find the courage to keep pushing on, hope will come back to you once again. The light that has been taken from you either by your hands or by other circumstances will eventually make its presence once again.
