About Me

Once upon a time there used to be something much more serious on here. I decided I didn't like how it made me come across. Here's the cliff notes: I believe in God, things bigger than me that can't be explained. It's a huge part of my life. I love my job. It's a huge blessing. I love my parents and family. I think it's important. I want a yard and a dog. I'm nice. I'm funny. I'm fun. I show my emotions on my face. I have a Wii and love it. I want to build a deck. And I want a bbq pit (charcoal not gas). I thought I was allergic to cats, but I don't think I am anymore. I have a fascination with orchids and aquariums. I love the beach or the water for that matter. I've never broken a bone, had stitches or braces. I hope to visit the Grand Canyon in the fall and Machu Picchu (before it closes?). I read a lot. I like cooking. I don't like going to the gay bars, but I do enjoy smaller bars or pubs that allow for some sort of normal human interaction. If I want to dance you'll find me on Red River. Otherwise I'm who knows where. I'm exploring the town a bit. That's about it I think.

I read this the other day and about fell over:

I want you to have this,
all the beauty in my eyes,
and the grace of my mouth,
all the splendor of my strength,
all of the wonder of the musk parts
of my body,
for are we
not talking about real love,
real love?

Seriously though, I'm funny too!

My Interests
