About Me

Hey, what up all!
about me... just an average, laid back guy. i hardly ever meet someone i dont get along with, and am up for pretty much anything, anytime. i want to do everything, see everything, and meet everyone i can, and hey, ill try anything twice. i work hard when i gotta work, and party hard when i can. i love to travel, love workin out and playin sports. ive played everything from soccer and rugby, to running track, to rowing on the crew team at UNC. oh yeah- and i ran the boston marathon for the second time this year (3:12, and 3:10 last year!), which is pretty damn cool.
right now i have recently moved to LA with my boyfriend, Jamie, working, and life is good. i'm pretty content, but its always nice to meet new people, make new friends, try new things.
so hey, if like sittin at home reading AND going out clubbing; if you like kickin back watchin the Sox, chilling in a bar throwing back beers AND going to museums, if you like smokin cigars AND running marathons; if you like pointless philosophical discussions AND playin tackle football in the mud in the middle of a thunderstorm; if you like skinny dipping AND going to the theater; if you like spontaneous trips, and a little bit of everything, and a whole lot of nothing, then maybe we should be friends!
today is not gloomy or miserable
come outside with me and feel what it is like
to be awake and aware
free to swing your arms
to look into the rain
(so small it feels internal)
to feel ten feet tall
with your eyes closed
smiling

IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling
