I don't mind dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

About Me

Hi, my name's Josh and I'm just a Welshy Boy living in the High Desert. For fun I ride my motorcycle for efficiency and leisure and it has been one of the most rewarding hobbies I have ever picked up. My bike is a BMW F650 GS, arguably one of the best bikes they've built in recent years. I also play the Accordion. My favorite tunes are European, I can't stand most of the Central American Accordion Pieces. Brazil makes some sweet beats though. I love movies when I have the money and time. I love the fantasy genre and when I have the chance I play video games. I own a small record collection, my crown being The Clash. I fucking love traveling. I also own a VW Karmann Ghia which will never EVER be sold. I'm going to school for an Anthropology major with emphasis on Cultural and Archeology. I work at the Renaissance Faire. I love beer. I'm currently Inland Empire District President in Demolay. I work at Lenscrafters - crafting lenses. I'm also in an awesome ZOMBIE-KILLER relationship with my love, Skye. I still try to throw out original name puns when the chance shows itself.
