About Me

"Do or do not. There is no try."

- Yoda

Life is like a zoo in a jungle, would you like to come into my cage?

I consider my self as a nice and understanding person. I try to see the goodness in everyone I meet. I love making people laugh. I 'm always tempted to say, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." That is when I'm not tempted to be "Naughty." I can be quite silly at times.I love Japanese food, but I am always down to try out all sort of new and exotic cuisines that are alien to me. I still play video games, and I have a crazy Jack Russell Dog named Tucker. He's a handful but adorably cute.

Overall, I'm just a guy who enjoys life in every way possible. A guy who sees beauty in everything and appreciates all the world has to offer.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do and damned if you don't." - Eleanor Roosevelt

My Interests

Video games, fencing, photography, poetry, movies, billiards, bowling, road trips, sushi, concerts, new challenges, but most importantly taking care of family and friends.

I'd like to meet:

Childhood friends, and those who value and know the meaning of friendship.

... Understand that friends come and go. But with a precious few... you hold on.

"Always in motion is the future."
