I haven't been here long enough to pee on your shoes yet!

About Me

God, I suck at MySpace. This hasn't been updated for sometime, so I figured I'd do it while avoiding homework :) I recently got done doing a year long stint of volunteering for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, which I believe was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, I'm back in Portland, but for who knows how long, I'm just here enjoying the ride and seeing where it takes me next. I am stuborn, big-headed, and will probably never admit I'm wrong. I'm driven and great at motivating people. I almost never apologize, soley because I don't believe in regretting anything I have done. I think I may also come off a little hard, but I've learned that even I am not as tough as I'd like to be (but that's the only time I will ever admit that!). I live very much in the right now, and I feel like everyday is a new one. I was a pre-med student for years, but recent experiences have caused me to falter a bit on that... I'm currently looking at going into sports, ultimately I'd love to be an NFL coach (j/k, but only kinda) and if that doesn't work out, some kind of agent/commentator/PR job in sports will do. Other than that, if you are on here, you probably know me, so I shouldn't need to tell you much more.

My Interests

Life. And anything I can do to enjoy that more.

I'd like to meet:

Four football fans - a Colts fan, a Seahawks fan, a Chargers fan, and a Patriots fan - are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more.The Indianapolis fan insists he is the most loyal. 'This is for the Colts!' he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain.Not to be outdone, the Seattle fan shouts, 'This is for the Seahawks!' and throws himself off the mountain.The San Diego fan is next to profess his love for his team.He yells, 'This is for everyone!' and pushes the Patriot fan off the mountain.

Music:

New passion for Electric Six, Goldfrapp, and Gnarles Barkley. The Cure, the Beatles, the Doors, Hendrix, Franz Ferdinand, Talking Heads, Imogene Heap, Outkast, Madonna (gotta love her), Pharcyde, the Ramones, David Bowie (thanks Feeze!), Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Arcade Fire, the Libertines, the Clash, the White Stripes, Aesop Rock, Gorillaz, GNR, Journey, New York Dolls, the Smiths...
