About Me

I'm the type of person who knows what I like and I don't like, but it's hard to put in words who it is I am. I believe that everyone is on their own journey towards self-discovery, and I have a flat tire. I can tell you what I'm not though. I'm not the arrogant asshole I'm frequently thought of as. I'd like to think I'm one of the last truly good people left in a world that has turned its back on morality. I know my limitations and weaknesses and that just makes me stronger. I'm insecure about chance and confident on certainty. I'm random. I'm the type of person who will IM you at 3am to tell you how I saw two blue cars next to each other today and how it made my day. Simple, yet complex. Insecure, yet confident. I struggle through paradox searching for the greatest paradox of all. Love. Love of friends, family, and she who is to be my own. Optimistic, yet a pessimist. All my life I've been waiting for someone to take me by the hand and show me a world I've yet to see. Now I realize the person I was waiting for was myself. Confused, yet confident. I always put too much into what I deem to be important, which suited to the paradox I live in, drives ppl away. I am both undauntingly loyal and honest, and yet such qualities leave me alone, whereas the cheaters and liars get all they dream of. Fate laughs at me in showing me women who are perfect for me and then showing me their boyfriend of many years. But I laugh back now, because I know now that I can make it on my own and that it's enough incentive to touch but one life for me to stick around. I can be the greatest friend you've ever had or completely invisible. The choice is now yours. I'd do anyhting for my friends, and I love my girls to death, and that's as far as it goes. You ask me who I am, where in reality it's you who need to figure that out. Shall I be the guy by your side, two shoulders to cry on? Or shall I be the face you pass by, purposefully ignoring? Nice guys finish last they say, I'm just trying to finish.

My Interests

I am interested in all forms of perception, of seeing through the eyes of another. I love the rain, and colors your eyes change with the sunset behind you. Randomness flows through my veins, as does a sense of self-enlightenment, enlightenment grasped only fully when I am in the arms of someone I love. I detest those who feel the need to label, as I fall into none of your categories. I am not like guys my age. I am interested in meeting people who truly care, and will be as trustworthy and loyal to me as I am to them.Most of all I'm interested in finding where I fit into the grand scheme of life, I guess if I believed in it I'd say my destiny, but I still believe that whatever I do, it will be spectacular. I'm just interested in finding someone who wants to enjoy the ride with me.

I'd like to meet:

The girl who every time I look into her eyes I fall even more in love.

Music:

Lately my favorite band is Placebo, my favorite song being Running Up That Hill. I also recently heard the song The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore my James Morrison, Call Me by Mat Kearney, and Working Class Hero by Green Day. I love em all.

Movies:

My four most favorite movies are Sin City, The Departed, Dodgeball, and Evolution.

Television:

The Simpson's and Family Guy (my two favorites), The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Futurama, World Series of Poker, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and That 70's Show.

Books:

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat

Heroes:

I have many heroes and all of them are loved.

A Love Revisited

The moment rushes through your eyes Permeates my very soul But a flash and all is lost I blinked and missed it all. The photo taken I hold near As it burns through my fingers The smoke clears my...

Those Words

The sweet melodious sound of your voice Is music to my ears. To hear it causes angels to rejoice And the Damned to cease their tears. The first time that our eyes met I knew that love would ensue...

For I'm in Love

A silent shout A whispered triumph And nothing becomes one For I'm in love My heart ecstatic The flow of joy Pierces everything Even what once was stone. For I'm in love. My pulse it quickens...
