About Me

I'm 6'2" and I live in Winchester, Virginia. I don't consider myself the organized type, but not necessarily the messy type either. I'm an Eagle Scout and a WV 4-H All Star. I graduated from Lord Fairfax Community College last May with my Associate's Degrees in Liberal Arts: Communications and Education, adding the total tally to four degrees. I love to travel and take photos of far away places. Although I've often traveled alone, I do enjoy the company of others on trips. I don't smoke or do drugs, but I do enjoy a Guiness once in a while. I do believe in God, angels, saints, and that you should treat ALL people the way you want to be treated. I don't classify myself as a Republican or Democrat because I think such labels are petty and useless. I treasure the value of an educated opinion, regardless of political bias. I like to learn new things (Spanish language, philosophy, science, cooking, music, etc.) and I like a challenge. Well, that's about it. Welcome to my home away from home on the internet. Read a blog. Play a game. Enjoy. Cheers!

Books:

I'm not going to lie to you...I'm not much of a book reader. However, I do believe in the power of books and the ideas they contain. I think that books can be a powerful tool in both a political and a social spectrum. I like to collect older books because I like to see how relevant their information is to today's day and age (the oldest in my collection is a College Math Textbook from 1898).
