About Me

ME...
Just a guy living in a world. Trying to find my way, develop myself personally to be the best that I can be. I love my friends and my family, sometimes to my detriment, but that's what love is, right?
I have many sides, from the outdoors to the designer brands to the arts and theatre... I love it all. I can usually talk to somebody about any one topic for at least 5 minutes. I love new perspectives and getting to see a different point of view. I like to think of myself as open minded, but I know there are some things that I'm just not open to..
I love the outdoors and doing new active sports... Kayaking, rock climbing, camping, boating, skiing, bar hoping! I love it all. I want new friends that like these things too! I'm in the best shape of my life and it's only getting better. The fat kid inside still comes out from time to time, but it's my inner demon that still haunts me on a day to day basis...
I guess I'm just a guy that makes people feel comfortable... that's not so bad, is it?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm a member of the "I'm looking for the woman of my dreams" club... So if you see her, point her my way.. uh... found her, married her.. LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!

Oh yeah, and THIS GUY!!!

and the winner is...

So this should come as a shock to most, but I, for once am wrong. Well, let me simplify this answer and say that I am wrong to the point that the satisfaction of being right is less than the effort go...

Chapter 5

Pretty much I've moved on from being that guy I used to be. And by "that" guy, I mean a single guy. I've been unsingle for quite sometime, but now I'm engaged. Our story is not anything miraculous, ot...

International identity theft in Pleasant Hill?

So I'm here in Ireland and check my bank account to make sure that all of my bills got paid while I was away (sometimes those scheduled payments can backfire) and come to find out someone charged my c...

Muscles that didn’t exist...

Camille and I hiked in Briones Regional today. We hiked up to the top - to the first gate and then turned around. Pictures to follow. This would have been a feat for us any way we did it, but we did i...

a life not much different...

So sometimes I look back into the lives of people that cross my path and wonder if their life is different than mine. Not necessarily their path, because anyone can choose a path or direction to trave...

soul searching...

Do you think that you can lose your soul? I mean not like figuratively, but actually lose bits and pieces? Do we leave a piece of us with every person we encounter? Does anyone that ever meant an...

don’t come knockin...

Earthquakes are funny things to me... I don't dislike them, they don't really scare me.. I guess it's the infrequency of them. I would much rather live here, where a natural disaster is a RANDOM thing...

karmatic manifestation

I just had a very long thoughtful blog full of the same pretentious bullshit that I always post and I hit the back button. I guess that was karma telling me to keep my thoughts to myself...   fuc...
