No One Knows This Place For What It Is

Here i scream, alone and unheard, that you're everything...

About Me

Sophomore at the College of Wooster, in Wooster, Ohio. I swim Distance freestyle and sprint/middle distance backstroke for the varsity swim team. My passions are sociology, philosophy, politics, engineering, physics, and automobiles. I put my time into swimming, automobiles, philosophical ponderings, running, cycling, and a few other random things. I'm slightly religious, and a very strong believer in the methods of Taoism. My dream job is to write for Motor Trend, that about says it all...Of note: I find the greatest peace in the silence that wraps around me when i drive my car at night through the city lights. The emptiest night and bright lights.

This is how my page looks so BA !

I don't know what i can save you from...

I haven't written a blog in ages. For one, i've been in a much better mood as of late, and this has decreased my need to vent my awkward frustrations about life. Also, i've been thinking inwardly a lo...
