When you know what you're doing, work isn't that bad.

About Me

So what about me do you want to know? Is it what I do for fun? Well then the answer is everything. I rock climb, relax on the couch, play video games, drive really fast and hang out with my friends. A walking contradiction if you will. I give you Brandenpalooza. A magical world where anything is possible. College is a definite. A higher education makes everything better. I've seen what happens without it and frankly, I don't want that life. I respect the people in the military, but that also is not the life for me. I know what it does to people's families, their relationships. I've experienced that firsthand from my father. My family is largely a medical one but I think for now that I'll avoid that road without pending further incentive. Obviously I like to write; anything from TMIC to letters, to serious things not yet revealed to the world. I'm definitely influence by my mental state while writing and so what I write reflects everything about my world. I've found my life also stems from a certain beat, a rhythm that helps me drive, write and even think better, stronger and faster than I would otherwise. I seem shy at first, but I warn you now, when you get to know me I can be either the best or worst person in your world.Usually the best but it's a toss up.

My Interests

If you can name it I will try it. I like to relax and play video games with friends, read, write, swim and in the warmer months take my bow out and take a few shots. I love to rock climb because it both gives me something to do in my free time and helps me stay in shape. Sometimes new things are fun to try out, I'm thinking about getting into boating. Maybe working in a boating store has colored my perceptions but it sounds fun all the same. I have gained a fondness for hiking and walking as well. Something about being out in the middle of nowhere and knowing that there aren't crazy people around to mess with you....

I'd like to meet:

Someone completely and utterly innocent to the trials, tribulations and evils of our modern day society. Someone untouched by the horrors that we have grown so accustomed to. Other than that, just people. Except clowns, they're kind of creepy. (reading Stephen King did it for me)stay away from me if you're anything close to a clown, related to a clown, interested in being a clown. It's for your safety not mine.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Blooo

To start off, I think that life can be measured in sniffles, coughs and sneezes. When you're sick, every single thing takes an eternity of headaches, runny noses and aforementioned things to accomplis...

My wonderful yet chaotically fun life of funness and but bruising adventure!

What do you call love? Is it a wild night? Is it laying together under the blanket in front of the fire? Is it roses? Or candy? Maybe it's just an acceptance of destiny. Could it be a great mystery? I...
