About Me


What do you want to know? First and foremost, even though I forget sometimes, this life that I live is not my own. I am a son of the Day clan. I am a brother to two wonderful sisters. I am a wondering soul. I am a teacher. I am a student. I am a writer. I am an occasional speaker. I am simplistic. I am complex. I am an adventurer. I am a book reader, a knowledge seeker. I am a seeker of life, beauty, and truth. I am everything you see here. I am not everything you see here. I am loved. I am strong. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a son of God, and forever I will be His.

My Interests

Guitar, all music, outdoor things like: ULTIMATE FRISBEE, snowboarding/skiing, hiking, camping, rock climbing, lounging in the park on a Sunday afternoon, running, blogging, IM'ing, writing, singing, dancing, laughing, you name it!

I'd like to meet:


Id pretty much like to meet everyone at least once. Then if I like you, twice. ;-) Those who know me in real life know my true feelings about them. Even though I may not voice it all the time I show it in my actions. *If I have added you as a friend and you don't know me, that means I thought you seemed interesting and I wanted to know more about you. I really do love meeting new interesting people, especially people who I share a common interest with. ;-)
