I used to think life's a bitter pill, but it's a grand old time

About Me

I can tell most vodkas apart, which may be a good or bad thing, depending on the night. You can't take me anywhere without me trying to figure out what music is on the PA.

Definitely a social creature, with tons of great friends...actually too many friends...don't need anymore.

Currently running my own business, which to my surprise, is going quite well.

My Interests

Music, Travel, Frequent Flyer Miles, Technology, Carbs, Travel, Sleep, Laughter, Hiking, Walking Aimlessly, Speeding, Smart Movies, Silly Theater, Dining, DJing, Decent tea, Raw Fish, The Pacific Ocean, Commas, This, That
