Drink beer. Ride bikes. Go fuck yourself.

About Me

It began as a mistake....

My Interests

Bicycling, climbing, backpacking, snowboarding/skiing ( yes, I go both ways on the snow), the outdoors in general, going to a bar and drinking beer while BSing with friends, photography, and just having a good time.

I'd like to meet:

My past, present, and future. Someone special. And not in the short bus, window licking kind of way either, well that may be okay too.
And this guy. img src="http://www.howtoavoidthebummerlife.com/weblog/archives/ card.jpg"
