About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
- Let's see here, I am an American/Brit who appreciates a good cupa tea on a cold day and a biscuit or two to go with it. I love living in Portland and think it is one of the greatest cities on earth. I am a big fan of the seasons and I love the winter because people decorate themselves better. Especially girls around Christmas time when they wear mittens and scarves, and get cold cheeks drinking carmel apple ciders in Pioneer Square...makes me want to kiss em all! I appreciate music and art very much even though I am not extremely skilled in either. I would consider myself a funny mix of mountain boy wanting to be a city kid who can''t decide whether he would rather skateboard across town to see Sufjan play the Roseland or take a horse over the pass to see Old Crow play the range hall. There is nothing that warms my soul more than being around a campfire with the boys drinking a beer and telling stories except for maybe an autumn walk on Tabor with a pretty girl drinking cocoa. I am a romantic to the core and yet appreciate the grit you find in the men of paperback westerns. I love the ocean whether it is catching fish with nets on The Maggie(commercial boat) or a a wave with a board beneath my feet at Short Sands. I think I am funny and yet I don't think people laugh with me as much as they laugh at me. I love sport and think that soccer(or football as it should be called) is the greatest game on earth. If America is where I reside than England is where my heart is. I think family is the most important physical thing on this earth and I love mine dearly! Jesus is my savior and life and the only way to make it in this little world of ours. It is my relationship with Him that makes getting up in the morning not such a daunting task. I love to talk about the Bible and am open to share with anyone who asks...so feel free! Thank you for wasting your time reading about me.

My Interests

skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, listening/playing music, soccer(or football as it should be called), journalinginging, shooting things, reading old paperback westerns, darts, dancing, good conversation, commercial fishing, shuffle board, drinking tea/coffee, film, horseshoes,....i don't know...being kind to birds and squirrels...~.. height="350" ..

Books:

The Bible I feel should be in a category all on its own since there is no other book that has as much of an impact on my life. After that books that have left an impression on me are: The Walking Drum ~ Louis L'Amour, The Man Who Was Thursday ~ G.K. Chesterton, The Lord Of The Rings ~ J.R.Tolkien, Highliners ~ William McClouskey, The Lost Princess ~ George Macdonald, The Saving Life Of Christ ~ Major Ian Thomas, The Death Of Ivan llyach ~ Leo Tolstoy, The Last American Man ~ Elizabeth Gilbert, The Alchemist ~ Paulo Coelho, Cash ~ Johnny Cash, The Education Of A Wandering Man ~ Louis L'Amour, Blue Like Jazz ~ Don Miller, The Sea Wolf ~ Jack London, All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarden ~ Robert Fulghum, In The Name Of Jesus ~ Henri Nouwen, Life After God ~ Douglas Copeland, How Soccer Explains The World ~ Franklin Foer, Uncle Tom's Cabin ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Sacred Romance ~ Curtis and Eldredge, The Pearl ~ John Steinbeck, Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austen, most C.S. Lewis, Hamlet ~ William Skakespeare .....plus so many more but enough for now!

Heroes:

The person who has had the greatest impact on my life is probably my dad. He is really wise and has modeled for me what it means to live for Christ. I also have a great amount of respect for both of my grandpas. In turn that means I really admire my mum and grandmas because behind every great man is a great woman! As far as heroes I would say: Jimmy Stewart, Johnny Cash, Margaret Thatcher, Louis L'amour, Bono, G.K Chesterton, Eric Liddel, Corrie Ten Bom, Billy The Kid, Sir Ernest Shackleton...there are many more but those are the one's that come to mind.
