About Me

i travel around, from place to place, and do alot of things that involve paintball in some way, shape, or form. i like to tell stories. i like to live stories. Stories make me feel not dead. I've spent most of my years on the road, in an intense drunk-on-life daze, trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to describe this vivid ride. When not on an adventure, i'm in the amazing paradise of SD, where i grew up, spending time with people who have something to say, with people who are awake, not slumbering through the brief, eye blink of time we get on this world. Open your eyes. look around. enjoy yourself while you're here."Don't loaf and invite inspiration, light out after it with a club" -Jack London-

My Interests

Writing, reading, thinking, drinking, watching, playing, traveling. words by miller, bukowsky, keroac, conwell, cash, yuknavich, Chuck palahniuk, and many other poets and sages, both alive and dead. Movies that make me want to either fight, fuck, run, throw-up, drink, or howl at the moon. My friends, who keep me entertained just by waking up everyday. oh, yeah, i play paintball for a living.

I'd like to meet:

people who are incredibly interesting and have something to say. People who have a story to tell.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
