About Me

"The great tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it." I'm pretty good at anything I try out, but I dabble in so many things that I haven't really excelled at anything to this point... I'm working on changing that. I like the tattoo process from start to finish. I love to be active, but cherish the downtime as well. Not too much annoys me more than those who think they're better than others. I hate being "the nice guy" but I can't change it...I know, I've tried. I love having pictures of things I've done and places I've been, but am faced with the dilemma of trying to choose between really experiencing the moment and only having the mental memories, or detaching myself from the activities enough to take the pictures to remember it by, but by doing so, risking not experiencing the fullness of the adventure...if that makes any sense. Chicks that try and be "tough guys" make me laugh...but not in the good way. I'm a people-pleaser, much to my dismay. I have a weakness for good food and nice jeans. I want to be an actor in Hollywood movies more than anything. I get attached too easily. The contents of this paragraph is the absolute truth, and probably more info than you'd ever hear me speak about myself in person...

My Interests

Hittin' the gym...Make-your-sides-ache laughing...Spending some QT with those I care about...Having nice things...Listening to good music...Traveling the world...Reading good books...Eating good food...Sports...Being creative...Always trying to improve myself and my surroundings.

I'd like to meet:

Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, Thomas Delonge, Leonardo Da Vinci, the me from the future... For real though, people who are honest, positive, and fun; people who challenge me to keep getting better...

Music:

I don't want my life's soundtracks to all sound the same...Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Rascal Flatts, UnderOATH, Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Frank Sinatra, Jay Z, MXPX, Jamie Cullum, Cartel, Reliant K, TBS, The Album Leaf, Thrice, T.I., Story of the year, old FFTL, old Saves the Day, Ludacris, even some classical mixed in there. Seriously, I'm into whatever...

Movies:

I love 'em. I've seen a bunch of movies, and enjoyed most of them but typically I won't watch the same movie more than once. If I watch it more than once, chances are it's a comedy...those never seem to get old. One-liners, facial expressions, reactions...good stuff.

Television:

Only when there's nothing else to do...

Books:

First off I want to say...I'll read pretty much anything, but there are only a few books I've really enjoyed. There's a big difference between reading a lot and being well-read.

Heroes:

My Father and Mother, , , , . I admire a lot of people, but I don't know if I'd call them heroes...

My Blog

For her...

Her name is lovely. She goes by another, but this is what I call her. I see her often  but it is never enough. Our eyes meet, then dart away. She can't see me wanting... She is beautiful, and s...
