About Me


"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

I live in Colorado Springs, Co. I'm starting to get into rock climbing / mountaineering.. and interesting and if not expensive hobby. It helps to pass the time when I'm not working... we've recently got a dog so he will be my company into the mountains... hopefully he can scare off the bears and mountain lions... we'll just have to see how it all plays out.
I'm from Montague, MI. If you don't know where that is... well you probably never will, but this is what it looks like there. I miss my friends and family, parties, the lake, swimming, beaches, riding my bicycle home drunk from the local tavern, Big Bear burgers and fried mushrooms, etc...

You're cautious, a bit paranoid. You left the scene for the suburban married life, but somehow, touble seems to follow you and piss on your mornings. You are quick to share your point of view, but have no problems with giving in to the requests of wives and wolves.

My Interests


It is very good Karma to pratice random acts of kindness.

I'd like to meet:


People who share the same intrests as me, aren't ignorant, and enjoy the fine state of Colorado as much as I do. Also looking for some friends that enjoy hiking/mountain climbing...

Disorder, Chaos, Anarchy.....

Survey says!
Attitude

"The Longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than success, than what other think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one little string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to you."

By Charles Swindoll


Preface of Leaves of Grass:

"This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men, go greely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school, or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem..."

By Walt Whitman
