Even the biggest failure or the worst irreversible mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.

About Me

I like cool adjectives and oxymorons, turning board games in to drinking games, ant eaters, sugar gliders, watching full seasons of television series in a weekend or less, coffee, cheese, traveling, intriguing people, making salsa, and bold flavors. I hate hot dogs, ketchup, and baseball. Call me un-American if you will, however I will likely take it as a compliment. I don't like inconsiderate, in genuine or closed minded people. Not a big fan of snow unless I am inside by a warm fire drinking wine or something tasty like hot chocolate. I'm an overall random individual whom likes to associate with interesting, outgoing, and socially conscience people.
