About Me

I'm a writer, a thinker, and a philosopher. Lately, I'm even dabbling a bit in swing-dancing--which, if you know me, is pretty amazing!!.

I love nature, hiking, running, working on cars, singing, playing guitar, karaoke, performing, and entertaining people. I'm an incredibly busy guy, but I always try to set aside time for the things and people I love. I can be completely CRAZY or completely tame, depending on who I'm around and how comfortable I am with them. I HATE PEOPLE WHO LEAVE THEIR CAPS LOCK BUTTONS ON AND TYPE LIKE THEY'RE REALLY ANGRY ALL THE TIME. IF THIS INCLUDES YOU, DON'T MESSAGE ME!! :o)

I'm not a druggie. I drink, but maybe not enough. I brake for pedestrians and (most of the time) go the speed limit even though I drive a semi-fast car. I'm a humble JESUS-FREAK, but I'm also not uptight about things. I don't judge--okay that's a lie--but I do my best not to, and most of the time I think I do a pretty good job.

I'm a sucker for sappy movies, 80's music, and fast American cars. I have a psychology degree from the University of Washington that has absolutely nothing to do with the career-track I am pursuing in business but everything to do with the way I live my life.

I'm a very chill person for the most part, but intolerance, hate, and ignorance really piss me off. I'm not extremely selective in my company, but those closest to me are the ones who can keep pace with me intellectually.
And no, I do not/will not EVER have a MULLET! :-PMyspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

The Proclamations of a Self-Declared Lunatic

It's funny waking up and feeling alive. These days, it's so easy to get stuck in a groove in which we don't truly feel, see, or hear. For a long time, I felt like I was waking up in a tunn...
