I am here for Friends

About Me

About Me...I am male and 25 years old and I am somewhat shy until I get to know someone. I love to read and write. I also have quite an obsession with snowboarding,biking, and the outdoors. Photography is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy traveling and seeing new places so very much. The ocean and the mountains are my favorite places to be. I currently live in a small town called West Salem in Ohio. Its interesting for sure. I would eventually like to move to the mountains, maybe northern California or Washington so that I can be by the ocean as well. I am planning on taking a 6 month to a year round the world trip within the next year or so. After that maybe join the Peace Corps or something. I just cannot imagine living the typical live,work,die kind of life as I desire so much more. I am currently jobless for the first time in 6 years and loving it. I don't ever want to return to corporate America. I am going to try to start my own business doing something artistic. I like to draw and paint, I also write poetry and various other things. I am currently working on writing a book. Music omg I love music of all different types. Mostly artsy punk, emo, indie, folky, stuff though, but I like pretty much everything. I play guitar and piano/keyboard, I am not great at either but have fun with it. My dreams and aspirations are to pursue my life and live it to the fullest because I am not geting off this planet alive. I want to see the world and all it has to offer. I want to take in all the beautiful sites that I can, and I want to meet interesting people. I want to read great literature for my own edification and I want to be an inspiration whenever possible, and learn what I can from others.

My Interests

Reading, writing, poetry, drawing, painting, snowboarding, hiking, camping, rock climbing, outdoors, good movies, computers and the internet, biking, music, meditation, herbal/naturopathic medicine, spirituality, philosophy, good friends, intelligent conversation, having fun and laughing, cooking....
