About Me

Finally... I'm filling this out again. I'm Brian, or Love, or B.Love, or B, depends on who you ask. I am at a turning point in my life where I have come to accept a lot of things yet I've also realized how many things are under my control. I am enjoying that I can be concerned with things without being bothered by them. I am making positive changes in my life and doing the things I should have been doing for years.
Travel is now my #2 priority right under getting through my classes. At the moment I'm halfway through my EMT class and doing amazingly well, and hope to get into a fire academy next year. Where exactly is still up in the air. Until then, I have learned how to have the proper mindset at work so it will not bother me and I spend most of my time with my nose in my books, forcing myself to prep in the gym or doing little tweaks on the dune buggy.
Musically I like a weird mix of things and that tends to confuse people. Most of the stuff I like has some sort of reasoning behind it. A lot of things I do not like have no valid reason at all. I can live with that. I like some local bands, which amazes me considering how much I used to despise the idea of it. I guess I had just heard the wrong crowd's music. Take a peek over to the left for list of music I listen to at least semi regularly.

What it was built for

Does anyone else just go for Sunday drives to get away from the traffic and noise and just to see what they can find? Now that I have proven to myself that my turd-car can make it half way...

Old but why not...

I'm getting rid of old files and I came across this letter I wrote to someone. You may have read it or maybe not, but its from 2001 so I practically forgot about it. Reading it was like reading someth...
