I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

My personal motto is "make every day an adventure" and I'd like to believe I've been largely successful in this endeavor.
On an unrelated note, ask me about my adventures in such exotic places as Iceland, Finland, England, Spain, Egypt, Morocco, Israel, Estonia, France, and the French isle of St. Barth's, and, more domestically; in abandoned buildings and active train tunnels!
I never lie. Not even white lies, not even a slight skewing of the truth. I am very heavily grounded by my morals and this is something I will not sacrifice for anyone.
I ask one thing of you, possible friend, and that is to message me before you friend request me, that's not too much trouble, is it?
I'd prefer to use my photography as my mouthpiece for self expression, so without further ado...

I love to speak, much as you might say you love to paint. I view it as a just recently lost art, easily re-attainable through study of the great writers and wits from eras long gone, all of which I hold closely in the highest esteem today.
At some point in my life, I'd like to learn to play the violin, and to learn the dance styles of flamenco and swing.
I want to lose my virginity to either Zero 7's Simple Things or Massive Attack's MezzanineNOW HIT DA YOSHI ON EM

My favorite author is by and large Oscar Wilde, he was a man of great wit, and that is a quality I greatly admire. That being said, here's a cold, impersonal list of books I have read: Masters of Doom, the Hitchikers Trilogy, Goosebumps, the DaVinci Code, What Video Games Have To Teach Us About Learning and Literacy, Harry Potter series, Loser, Teenage Confidential: An Illustrated History of the American Teen, The Hypochondriacs Pocket Guide To Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have, anything by Isaac Asimov, that loveable old genius, and my all time favorite book ever is Brewer's Rogues, Villains, And Eccentrics, by William Donaldson.
