Sooner or later, I'll figure it out

About Me

Let's see, I think the best way to figure anything out about me is to ask, it's much easier that way. But for now I am a 23 year old Political Science graduate from UNC. I have one older brother and a set of parents that aren't that bad. I enjoy sharing stories about life because it is my favorite way to get to know people, and it helps me keep my life in perspective.

My Interests

Right now, my interests lie in spending time with my friends when I am not serving up delicious seafood. I like to go rock climbing when I get a chance, I used to play water polo once a week, and now I can commit more time to my "training to be a boxer" which mainly entails putting on some Eye of the Tiger and punching a bag until my arms get tired, then I hit the bag once more to show it who's boss. I enjoy video games, music, and movies a great deal, my dvd collection is approaching 300, a good start I think. My newest interests involve ghost hunting, learning more about computers, and tubing down the Poudre river.

I'd like to meet:

If I could meet anyone, it would have to be someone who doesn't take life too seriously. Someone who enjoys randomness and spontaneity in life. Someone is is secure, or is alright with being insecure. Finding someone who is truely happy with who they are, and not nervous about not knowing what they want is very tricky. I've met too many of the same type of people who go through life without true purpose, ones who take the easy and polite way out of things. Those who stay and fight for what they believe in instead of running away in search of something new to believe in.

Music:

I like a wide variety of music with the exceptions of rap and country. I will grant you there are a few songs from each that I enjoy, but those are the exceptions that make the rule. My favorite bands are Eve 6, Seether, Third Eye Blind, Breaking Benjamin, Our Lady Peace, Smile Empty Soul, Fallout Boy, Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, and Fuel.

Movies:

Blood & Chocolate Trailer

Television:

I enjoy include, The Office, My Name is Earl, Family Guy, The Daily Show, King of the Hill, Reno 911, MacGyver, and House.

Books:

Hmm. I don't read as much as I used to, but all-time favorites would include A Time To Kill, The Prince, Jurassic Park, and Matrix Mythology...

Heroes:

Hmmm. This one is tough, it's not that I think I am so great that I don't look up to people, but I think I just see greatness differently. As cliche as it is, we are all great in our own way, I guess I'll go for people who are great in many ways. I think kindness is underrated in todays world, so some of the kindest people I have met would have to be the families of my friends who have helped me turn into the person I am. The Phelan family has always included me in their family activities and never treated me like the creepy person who just keeps showing up to things. The Almeida family took me in for a summer while I was visiting my friend in Hawaii, they are all full of advice, stories, jokes, and they have never failed in helping me out when I've needed it. The Miller family has also taken me in and allowed me to become part of their family whilst living in the living room on a sweet air mattress.

Some things are better left unspoken

Imagine a world where everyone didn't speak the first words that came to their mouths. What a world we would live in where even if only occasionally everyone would bite their tongues. Often when inter...

Warning, bitchy work entry incoming...

I'll preface this by saying that often times I am not as frustrated as I am now. I do not think I have had such a bad day at work in a very long time, it definitely ranks in the top 3 if nothing else....

Just keep going

I find it interesting what all can be accomplished by continually showing up. By not giving up the impossible slowly becomes possible. It's not to say that you can will whatever you want to happen, bu...

It was just a kiss

It absolutely boggles my mind what affect a kiss has had on my life. I refuse to refer to it as a mistake, irregardless of what those around me call it. It was a choice that I made, I will grant it wa...
