My Interests

I'm a goofball that loves to have fun... I love the outdoors, and therefore, I do miss Cali...Also, I'm addicted to water :)

I'd like to meet:

Positive Souls. Open hearts.

Music:

A little bit of everything.

Movies:

American Beauty. Million Dollar Baby. Monster's Ball. Traffic. Napoleon Dynamite. Cold Mountain. Crash. Cinderella Man. Gladiator. Old School. Blow. Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Chicago. Rize. V for Vendetta.

Television:

I'm not much of a TV watcher. I did watch an episode of Entourage... not bad. I may finally start turning on the tube. Sometimes something on the Discovery Channel catches my eye.

Books:

Once I get started on a good book, I can't put it down. I sometimes spend an entire day at Barnes and Noble without necessarily buying anything, I just take up space. I don't think they like me too much. But I do enjoy: all John Grisham books up until he changed his style about 3 yrs. ago. Stolen Lives. The Bluest Eye. Where the Sidewalk Ends. Memoirs of a Geisha. Freakanomics. Angels and Demons. The Rose that Grew from Concrete. Kite Runner. The Alchemist. Currently reading: Love in the Time of Cholera and The Lost Horizon.

Heroes:

my dad.... you already know...

Can't do it all?

So I was talking to my sister, telling her there was so much I wanted to do. She tries to help me put things in perspective by telling me that I have to pick and choose, because I can't possibly do EV...

Gretchen-isms

During the time that I was working at the educational center in California, kids would always ask me,  "Why are you always smiling?" And I would always just shrug my shoulders and say, ...

Retired Pants

Today there were no keys to get in the front door at my friend's house, so I had to jump the fence to sneak in through the back door. However, upon reaching the other side, the crotch area of my jeans...
