About Me

my name is brock and i grew up in wimberley, a small town just outside austin. i am back in austin after two years in san antonio, where i got to do some really cool things. i learned to make a helluva cup of coffee as a barista at starbucks and i was able to serve the most amazing group of kids as an assistant youth minister at st.luke's episcopal church. the most important thing in my life is my walk with christ. in my free time i love to play basketball and i'm learning to play the guitar. i've had the opportunity to travel some and i love just about anything outdoors. i guess that's all for now, anything else just drop me a line..........things that bug me: people who go 45 in the fast lane, the fact that they have to put 15 stickers on a new cd, that Friends had to go off the air, the bottom dryer at my apartment washateria put little oil stains all over two loads of whites before i noticed it, my cat sleeps all day and then runs all over the place when i lay down to go to sleep, i can't live without my cell phone or my laptop, that my golden retriever has to stay with my mom until i get a place with a yard, i have a hard time getting new pants with legs long enough, forget finding shoes that are big enough..........things that don't bug me: when my cat does finally settle down she sleeps really close to me, that once you get through all those stickers the cd is awesome, spring days, goin' to see texas country concerts, sportscenter, coffee and a good conversation, walking with christ, adam sandler movies, flip-flops, longhorn football, quad grande americano's with a little room, my kids at st. lukes, freebirds, adult swim, the look on the ladies face at the office when i call them "toots", the way cooper jumps around when it's time for him to eat....
"What kind of eyes do you have? (with pictures)"

Moonlight
You have moonlight eyes. Moonlight is the color of mystery. Your eyes symbolize your ability to see yourself as others see you. You have finesse for letting other people know what you think. You have a soothing and calming ability that you may or may not know about. You have the awesome ability to draw a person's negative energy out and replace it with a positive energy; the world needs more people like you. Some words to describe you: patient, self-controlled, perseverance, insightful, reflective, understanding, serene, and caring.I have edited my layout at Crazyprofile.com

My Interests

basketball, football ( the horns and the texans), fitness, my walk with christ, family and friends, my golden retriever (cooper), hanging out at the river, finding a new trail on my mountain bike( then eating crap on said new trail), cooking on the grill, max lucado books, finding new useless information on the internet...
