About Me

I am a vegetarian of 11 years now that believes in making the best out of any given situation. I enjoy bicycling, camping, hiking, canoeing, and falling off mountains. In my spare time I like to lay in my hammock reading a new book, or writing while I drink a beer and listen to my favorite music of the week on my headphones. About the most important thing to me is my friends. They are closer to me than much of my family. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I like do a crossword when possible, cook dinners, watching live music, I am an avid reader, and any type of out door experience I will try once. I really like to go biking and canoeing when ever

Movies:

I have seen to many to list, and unfortunately find myself sometimes not even talking in conversations but repeating what I remember from these films.

Television:

Try not to watch any tv unless it involves rented movies or the series that I am able to weed trough to get to some of the actaul original shows that are out there. Let's hear it for TV DVDs. they make it so I don't have to watch unless I want to.

How's Texas?

How's Texas is the Question, apparently since I get asked that all of the time. So far I have been reluctant to actually answer that question with more than a simple, "It's fine." So I decided that it...
