Metro school on the 4th!!! Woo hoo!

About Me

Well here I am in Salt Lake City and I'm still not sure how I ended up here but I'm really enjoying the sights. I havent seen mountains in freakin' YEARS so this is very very cool to see again and be able to fly over and around. Not sure what Salt Lake will hold for me but its an adventure I've been waiting a long time for so for better or worse I'm looking forward to the years ahead. I'm not a club person by any means or a heavy partier but I do love the occasional drink with friends and have had some very good times that way. I enjoy being around my friends but dont think I'm not open to random people who want to talk. Sometimes those have been the best conversations I've had so dont be afraid to drop me a line! I come across as a little shy at first but it just takes me a little while to warm up. I'm usually better with smaller groups and feel lost if I only know one person in a crowd of like a hundred but thats just who I am. Until I figure out where I'll finally call home, I'll continue to enjoy what I have and look forward to the future where ever it takes me. I've driven the entire East coast from FL to NY and I just finished driving from FL to CA on I-10. Its really weird when I realized that I drove the entire length of I-10 from start to finish and yes, I thought I would NEVER get out of Texas! GOD that sucked! Now that I've found myself in Utah that only leaves the North West and the upper mid-west and I have a feeling that one day I'll find myself traveling through there cause Hell, I've almost got it all covered, might as well finish it off! As much as I love the new scenery I'd love to find a place to settle down and call home. My origional home though is in Rochester, NY and I love going back home where its cold and I can attempt to break my neck sledding and skiing to my hearts content and visiting my life long friends around there. That and my two huge Bernese Mountain dogs are up there who always love when I come home to visit! If ya wanna know anything else, feel free to ask!

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
You Are 21 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. What Age Do You Act?

My Interests

Interests huh? Okey, lets see....uhhh of course I love to fly and that should be obvious. I'm also a big history person and love reading about WWII. I love parks and trails and can wander them for hours if theres good scenery. Prolly more stuff but thats all I can think of right now!

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty much open to anyone dropping me a line. Random comments rock!!

Music:

My music WIDELY varies. I'm more of a fan of rock old or new and maybe a little bit of punk but I also love movie soundtracks alot especially those old war movies from the 60's and 70's. I know its sad but I can't help it. I can tolerate country and R&B but dispise rap in all its forms. A couple of my favorite bands are the Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews Band, Sarah Mclachlan, 311, Jimmy Eat World and Tori Amos.

Movies:

Ahhhhh movies! I'm a huge fan of war movies past and present though I think they made the best ones in the 60's and 70's. I love a good comedy as well as drama but I'm not a horror flick person at all. I'd prolly spaz at the scary part and poke someones eye out. I've always wanted to ride in an ambulance though...Apollo 13, The Shawshank Redemption, The Big Lebowski, and The Longest Day are just a few of my favorites that I can think of at the moment.

Television:

Good ole' TV! From my earliest days the Simpsons has been my favorite and lately Family Guy has taken over that role. Both freakin' hillarious but the Simpsons has dropped off a little in the past years. That being said, the History channel and AMC are what I usually turn to cause theres ALWAYS something good on one of em'. Besides those I will randomly channel surf on other stations till somethin' catches my eye which might take a while. Freakin' 100 channels and nothing good on ANY of 'em!

Books:

Havent read a whole lot of books lately. The ones that I have read are for class and they prolly put me off reading anything else! Ha! The last one I read was a biography about the Navy's first Blue Angel Butch Voris. The best part was I got him AND the author to sign the book so I was very lucky to get that once in a lifetime chance.

Heroes:

My heros. I love talking to any vet but especially WWII vets. All of them have great things to say if you'll just shut up an listen. My parents cause they put up with one of their kids wanting to do a crazy thing and fly for a living. My best friends cause no matter how many stupid things we've done in the past and present as well as what we'll do in the future, we're still alive to tell the tale! I still wonder how we made it through high school with only a few minor flesh wounds and concussions...Such great times.
