I am here for Friends

About Me

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars" from "On the Road", my favorite book, by Jack Kerouac.

My Interests

Outside, long talks about philosophy, politics, & religion, family, books, music, art, travel, volunteering, existentialism, libertarianism, activism, stories, friends, mexican food, photography, mountain biking, hard work, summer, & learning.
