Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted

About Me

I am a tall, scruffy looking son of a b..*ch with blue eyes and a regular build. I eat alot (about twice as much as a normal person) and weigh 240 lbs but I'm thin :) . Women especially hate how I can eat as much as I want and not get fat. I don't talk much unless I feel I know you. I think differently about this world and my part in it than most "normal people". People think I am strange but I like it that way because I think other people are strange anyway. In my life I am in no rush to get things done in the "normal" order of life. I exercise and eat real good so I can stay feeling like I am 18 for as long as possible. I hope to live a real long life and to do as much as possible for adventure as I can. I am majoring in Geology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I like to travel a lot and must have at least one adventure a year to be satisfied. I have been to Germany, Egypt, Bermuda, Canada, Macedonia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Tahiti, Iraq, and at least half the states including Hawaii. I hope to step foot on all the continents in the world before I get too old. By the time I am 100 years old marijauna will most likely be legal and I'll be the old super-long beard dude sitting on a porch toking and telling amazing stories to whoever has time to hear them. I like the outdoors a lot; I like the smell of the woods all year long and the crispness of a winter landscape. Sitting on top of a mountain and seeing the world all around you is one of the best feelings. I served my country for 5 years in the US Army and I am a veteran of the Kosovo campaign and the Iraq war. I am too tall and when I walk on the sidewalks I collect all the cobwebs on my head that everyone else is too short to gather. I like music a lot especially Rock n Roll, but I also like Bluegrass, Heavy Metal and classical stuff. I like to go to bars to see bands play. I like to play the guitar but I am only an average player. I also like the thrill of flying down a mountain at high speed which I do by skiing or mountain biking down it.

John Lennon"When I was younger, living confusion and deep dispair. When I was younger, ah hah, living the illusion of freedom and power.When I was younger, full of ideas and broken dreams my friend. When I was younger, ah hah, everything's simple but not so clear.Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow.Now I am older, the more that I see the less that I know for sure. Now I am older, ah hah, the future is brighter and now is the hour.Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow.Good to be older, would not exchange a single day or a year. Good to be older, ah hah, less complications everything's clear.Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow."
