I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a middle class rebel who enjoys film, photography, and music. Nothing is as relaxing as good music, good friends and good beer. Right now, I'm slowly fixing up an old house, shooting videos, bartending, and trying to find time to chill with friends and family.
You Are a Visual Learner
You tend to remember what you see, and you have a good eye for aesthetics.
You excel at art, design, and computer programming.
You would be an excellent film director - or the next Bill Gates! What's Your Learning Style?
Once I save up some more money, I'm attending graduate school.
Chinese Calendar: Aquarians are Rabbits
THE VIRTUOUS RABBIT
The reserved Rabbit is very intelligent, intuitive and in touch with nature. Generous by definition, Rabbits can also be afraid of their own power. People trust them easily and admire them, but Rabbits themselves are cautious and discreet. Everywhere they go they create peace for others but can compromise their own inner harmony with fear. They are gentle and kind. The Rabbit is a performer. Rabbits can speak eloquently about many things. Their interests are wide-ranging and global. They can be generous to a fault. Rabbits can be very successful as long as they keep their fears in check. You may think you know a Rabbit, but it's very hard to find out how they really feel, as they are so discreet about their true thoughts and feelings. If you have a Rabbit friend, make sure you honor his or her heart.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC
"Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back"

Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos.
But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last! What's Your Theme Song?
I'm an aspiring filmmaker and writer, but so is everyone else!

You Belong in Greenwich Village
Avant garde and bohemian, you're quick to adopt new ideas and lifestyles.
And while you're a bit less weird these days, you still have a "live and let live" philosophy. Where Should Your Inner New Yorker Live?

You Should Be a Film Writer
You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen! What Type of Writer Should You Be? /divI started writing a book last year but it's still in development. I enjoy writing poetry and I'm still trying to turn my poems into song lyrics.

Heroes:

Veterans. Our Founding Fathers / Mothers. Politicians that actually care about the American people.
