Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

About Me

Ok, i know i havent updated this in awhile SHAME ON ME! but i'm sure you'll all get over it after i add the pictures of my latest and final new zealand adventure. I wont have much time before i leave, so i'll have to do it when i get back stateside which will be on Dec 5th. Then everyone who feels so inclined can buy me a hamburger or somthing! Look forward to seeing some familar old faces! -Andrew
Until then, heres a few pics from my uber-adventurous Mountain Man life in the frozen wilderland of Washington!

Music:

Classic Rock! Dire Straits, Tom Petty, Eagles, CCR. Also Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, Creeper Lagoon, and Zebrahead

Movies:

If its got explosions, vampires, Sean Bean, Ed Norton, hot girls, spy gadgets, and cheezy one-liners its totally good in my book.

Television:

Big fan of cartoons like Family Guy, Venture Bros, Futurama. Bigger fan of decent sci-fi with good characters like Firefly, Invisible Man, and Farscape. Hate to say it but im addicted to Lost as well... Which is all i actually watch on TV these days besides the news haha.

....I cant read or write :(
But if i could my favorites would be: Illusions by Richard Bach, Dune, Lord of the Rings & Silmarillion, Catch 22, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Eaters of the Dead, Starship Troopers, and The Man who Was Thursday

Heroes:

Shackleton is the Man, Cade Foster, Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and of course MacGyver
