About Me

My name means honeybee and I have the tattoo to back it up! I'm a pretty happy kid all in all and if you're looking for someone to complain about stupid crap you'll have to look elsewhere....it's just not my style. I also will not speak poorly of people I don't know regardless of what they've done to you or said about me....I just don't like judging before I know someone. I have a fantastic family life and they are on the top of my list. I used to get down about things from my growing years but I soon realized that I've been a lucky person and I lead a blessed life. Being unhappy solves nothing and heals even less.I love Chicago and all that it has to offer. I'm working on traveling the world and hope to one day go everywhere. I need to be academic. A big nerd in sheep's clothing if you will. I will become a PhD and a college professor of Political Science and Law. So don't underestimate my mind it'll screw you over and is in better shape than my physical self. There are many things in this world that make me happy...BBQ, steaks, friends, family, sunny weather, ice cream every time it snows, money, and daydreaming. AND I am an observer...like the old lady on a park bench feeding the pigeons and staring right through you. I will forever be enthralled with the way people behave. It's what makes this world what it is and I am loving it! I also like to challenge people. Sometimes I even enjoy a little defensive banter. Those of you who know me have probably experienced one such time. But defensive banter is just that...banter. I rarely hold on to anger. And if I do it only comes out when I've been drinking.

My Interests

.. Someone who cares about me more than I care about you took some infamous Myrtle Pictures....He will be rewarded accordingly ***Pictures Descriptions In Order Of Appearance*** *We are eating chicken cartilage....don't think I'll ever be doing that again* *Grilling and beer and some asses in the background...doesn't get any better than that!* *Fuji-San kicked our asses and got us all wet in the process* *Matsumoto Castle I think this picture looks like a postcard...I'm so talented* *Kyoto random friends we met that night at a beer garden...what a great night* *I wanna go back to Okinawa...even though I look bald in this pic.....*TOO MANY TO NAME! But there are a couple key ones: music, reading, drinking (i love my whiskey but am trying to get into vodka)/ socializing (i've lost many a male because of this...they just don't get it). chicago, traveling ( i will go anywhere so if you need a partner for a road trip i'm so there)
What Do You Cry Out During Sex? by twinkerbelle
Name/Nickname:
Age
What You Cry Out: "I think I..m turning Japanese I really think so!"

Quiz created with MemeGen !

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who veers away from the overly dramatic. Somehow drama follows me wherever I go and I just want to have fun! I also like to talk to people who have ideas, or think about ideas, or talk about other people's ideas.

Music:

All kinds

Movies:

Again too many to name...get to know me and I'll tell you! Basic Favorite Genres: Foreign Flicks (Farewell My Concubine, The Blue Kite, etc.) Old Timers Movies (My Fair Lady, Casablanca, etc.) Westerns (Josey Wales, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, etc.) And then all the other genres that everybody knows about. But whenever I'm sickly (which is often) I watch The Princess Bride

Television:

When I get to watch it....time is of the essence Simpsons, Family Guy, Heroes, Meet the Press (I like yelling at the T.V. especially when they have one side vs. another in a debate. It's almost like I'm there)

Books:

I read a lot...about two books a week so this category could go on for days....but I'm always looking for something good to read.

My Blog

sometimes i have trouble falling asleep

Haha this has nothign to do with web, html, or tech but who actually blogs about those subjects so I thought it would be nice to give it some love. Another night staying up doing nothing in particula...
