About Me

Ha! Time for a change, my last profile was getting boring - i.e, i was tired of seeing it. However, being a pack rat and ultimately able to appreciate and harbor the desire to save good writing about myself when I see it, you can find a copy of my previous, "about me" column in a blog that will be posted shortly after I'm finished writing about pure ridiculousness here. And here starts...my life's story. Fun. If I could sum me up into one word, fun would be it. Don't think so? Too bad. I didn't necessarily mean that you think I'm fun - I meant simply that I like to have it. Lots of it. Here, there, now, later. Whenever I can get my hands on it, I'll do whatever I can to reach out for that totally gnarly feeling called fun. Exciting movies, rock concerts, music, parties, games, whatever. If it's fun I'm there. Ok, sure, there's a bit of work sprinkled in what with some school and work here and there...or rather...ok...work takes up most of my time. But hey, there's still fun the other day of the week. Heh. If you like fun too, then I like you. So if you wanna join me and my girlfriend Carrie, and our friends for a game or to at the pool hall, let one of us know and we'll take you out for a night of fun. And if not, well, that's ok, you'll just have to find it on your own..."http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnByb2ZpbGVma WVuZC5jb20="

I'd like to meet:

I'm basically up for meeting anybody that wants to go to the trouble of writing me on this page, or really anybody that takes the initiative to talk to me anywhere. I'm a pretty easy going, laid back guy, and I've got friends with all kinds of hobbies and interests, so meeting people for me, isn't limited to my own likes and distastes.

Heroes:

Heroes...anyone that does one of my passions better than me...i.e any snowboarders or skaters better than me. Any mechanics better than me...and anyone that plays music better than I can...(exp...just about anyone that's played for any length of time) a word of note...heroes are a two sided coin in this case...as much as their (wrong their by the way...) my heroes...i hate every fuckin one of em for being better than me...and yoda knows where hate leads...
