I am here for Friends

About Me

"Quit pretending you're lame. Be legendary."

"Climb On!"

"Live the wonderful life that is in you. Be afraid of nothing."

OK, let's get down to it... I'm on an amazing life journey that has slammed the lifetimes and travels of many people into my short life.

Here are the VERY important facts: At least twice a week somebody I've never met swears they've met me before. If I were a literary hero, my tragic flaws would be that I'm way too trusting, loyal, and rosey-eyed. Those qualities have been the sources of my life's greatest 'wins' but also my greatest 'losses.' I'm deathly fearful of q-tips. Quality friends and my family are of paramount importance to me. I recently accidentally kicked the wall after getting out of the shower and broke my pinky toe. If halloween were weekly, I would love life a whole lot more.


By the way, if you're attractive, female, and insane, then I'll probably end up dating you. Just a heads up.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The owl in the tootsie pop commercials. "Ah-One. Ah-two. Ah-three. Three." Also the person who invented the slap bracelet from the 80's, but only so I could slap them.

I am retiring in November. Seriously.

If you haven't read or heard of the book, 'The 4 Hour Workweek," do yourself a favor and get it, because it's largely responsible for my next bold life move. I am retiring. Well, I'm going ...
