About Me

I was born, moved, watched the little world series, got in trouble, did some fingerpainting, tried not to eat my vegetables, loved pizza, Yankees rock, fell off my bike, conquered my bike, discovered freedom, played some freeze tag, monopoly rules, tom & jerry were TV gods, broke some bones, school was easy, went camping, moved again, discovered girls were interesting, played some baseball, excelled at soccer, played in the rain, moved, broke some bones, slept a bunch, tom & jerry still rule, smoked a few things, became passionate about music, bought a car, enjoyed the taste of beer, went to college, beer still taste good, got enlightened, become confused by girls, found I like drawing better than crunching numbers or writing reports, didn't get much sleep, worked, graduated, car accidents suck, practice architecture, chovies and the buff become sanctuaries, cause quarter life crisis, and take some trips. Thus my life continues...
Here are some places I've lived:
Houston, Tx - Williamsport, Pa - New York - Lubbock, Tx - Pickerington, Oh - Tucson, Az
Here are some places I've visited:
only 12 more states and i'll have been to all 50, i did the typical college european trip...started with some friends, ended up having three weeks to myself, done mexico a few times & canada once. next place would have to either be australia, hong kong, or south africa. i guess i'll just start with leaving tucson.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who tell animated stories and are articulate. Don't talk to me if you are only going to bitch about your job, how hard school is, or problems with your family. I'd rather smile at you stories than have to sympathize with you.

Music:

Here are some of the artists that are in my collection (I decided to alphabetize them - this idea was stolen from a friend, who I believe in turn stole the idea from KAMP Radio). If you are looking for a good internet radio site, check out AccuRadio
