About Me

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."
Q: Why do surfers make great lovers?
A: Because they like to go deep into the barrel and they would ride all day if they could!
"The reef scares me more than anything else in the ocean. Because you can always penetrate through liquid, but you can't penetrate through reef." --Rochelle Ballard
The reef penetrates through you.
Don't be scared of the ocean, but you should fear it.
CALIFORNIA LOVE!! SOUTHERN Californication... In-N-Out double-double animal style... mmm... and getting anywhere takes 15 minutes!
But I gotta give props to Miami night life.
You Are 70% Boyish and 30% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

My Interests

Any sport (playing, not watching), surfing, snowboarding, and missing playing with my ferrets.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
--Marianne Williamson

I'd like to meet:

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Kelly Slater, Brad Pitt, and my favorite female surfers.
You Should Drive a Ford Shelby Mustang Cobra
You have an extreme need for speed, even when you're not in a hurry.

Movies:
