I am here for Friends

About Me

There really isn’t much to be said about me and like everyone I hate filling this section out. I spend most of my time at work or school, but my favorite way to pass time is chilling out with my friends. The things that I cherish the most are God, my wonderful family, and my friends.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams . If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~ Jack Handy

My Interests

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." ~ Edith Wharton

I am interested in a lot of stuff that I’m really not good at… like technology, mathematics, writing, playing pool, bowling, fishing, and exercising. I am not interested in spending my life in front of a computer screen or a television set… I love to be outside; for me gardening is a great outlet for relaxation, as is a cup of hot tea alongside a pen and paper. I’m interested in building strong relationships with my loved ones. I am passionate about people, but I don’t care for those who are self centered or negative… they have a way of bringing us down.

I'd like to meet:

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." ~ Barack Obama

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." ~ Dalai Lama

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." ~ Snoop Dog

"Do or do not... there is no try." ~ Jedi Master Yoda

Music:

"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence." ~ Leopold Stokowski

I can appreciate just about any type of music. A couple of my all time favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Metallica. Also, few modern bands that like I are The Foo Fighters, Taking Back Sunday, Flyleaf, AFI, System of a Down, and Cold Play. And I'll always love Snoop!

Movies:

"A film is never really any good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet." ~ Orson Welles

Star Wars!!!, L.O.T.R, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Napoleon Dynamite, Pans Labyrinth, Pirates of the Caribbean, Oceans Eleven, The Labyrinth, and Legend. Some of my favorite made for TV movies are Horatio Hornblower and Shogun.

Television:

"Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms." ~ Alan Corenk

PBS,they only broadcast commercials in between programs (How efficient!!!) and all of their programs are in someway educational. A few of my favorite programs include Globe Trekker, Untold Stories of the Dead (It's about WWII), And Flog it.As for network television, I like E.R., The Family Guy, The Planet Earth series on the Discovery Channel, The Simpson's, and The local news @ 10 :)

Books:

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." ~ Mark Twain

I am an avid reader, however I don't get to devote the time to reading that I would like. The thing's that I read the most are my school books and Wikipedia, because I am stuck behind a desk for eight hours a day. I prefer a fantasy epic such as the Lord of The Rings. I just finished reading The Chronicals of Narnia series and am having a having a hard time finding a book that I want to read. Maybe the Harry Potter series, but I dunno... -- Is there such a thing as readers block?

Heroes:

My mom... She is a rock star!!! The wonderful Jesus Christ who died on the cross so that I should have everlasting life.
