About Me

Leave it all on the field! Words by which to live. Too bad we are all asleep at the wheel. I'm a tired insomniac, a determined procrastinator, and an industrial minded environmentalist. I am into any type of art that inspires its audience. Not much is out of bounds with me. I enjoy being challenged and surprised...(amendment) within reason...and not like a Kato surprise in "The Pink Panther". My family...close family, is important to me. Friends can always count on me. I like a good Guiness and a football match (soccer in the states). I work hard and sleep late. But getting up early for a good reason is never a problem...like doing most activities outdoors. I'd much rather go hiking, skiing/snowbarding, surfing, site seeing or something interesting than hangout at a bar and drink. But, having said that, if my friends are at the bar...I'll join them. You could say I'm more of a free-thinker, an introvert; of course that doesn't rule out my being outgoing...it just depends on the situation. In short...I don't even know who I am. Spin the wheel, flip a coin, take a guess...see what you get. It's all SO unpredictable.

My Interests

Have I mentioned the arts? I love live performances. Redmoon Theatre. Live music, usually at the Metro. Havent been to the MCA lately. I never get tired of seeing movies, be it blockbusters or indie films. Mountainbiking, hikeing, kayaking, snowboarding/skiing,anything outdoors. Have yet to sky dive but it sounds awesome! Oh, and if I had to play one game for the rest of my life...It would be soccer.

I'd like to meet:

People who enjoy live music, theatre, or anything off the beaten path. (can't get enough of the arts) I like creative people who are just a little twisted. Curious. Introspective. Observant. Insiteful.
