Why do you want to know about me? Do I know anything about you? OK, I'll tell you about myself anyways. I moved out to California from Michigan in search of a better life. In some ways I have gotten it, in others I have not. I miss my friends A LOT back home. Though I suppose now they have a place to come and visit.
California is great, the people are pleasant and great to be around, and I'm only an hour from wine country. My passion in life lies with the airlines, thus it is naturally in my blood to work for one.I'm a pretty laid back guy with lots of goals in life. Goals are important, they give people something to strive for. How you get there is up to you, as long as you do it. Here's a sampling of my goals (in no particular order):1) Go mountain climbing in the Himalayas
2) Safari in Africa (perhaps Kenya or Nigeria)
3) Surfing in Australia (completed 09/2006)
4) Scuba the Great Barrier Reef (also completed 9/06)
5) Spend 1 week hiking China NW portion
6) Tip at least 10 cows in Idaho (joke people!!)
7) Fly the 787 Dreamliner, what an amazing jet
8) Date a flight attendant (completed 11/2006)
9) Skydive New Zealand
10) Visit my friend Chris who's stationed in AntarcticaOK, this is just a small listing of the many things I plan on doing before I die (if I can help it that is).So my departing words are this: 1)Be good to one another, we all have to live in this world. 2)Live life to its fullest, you never know when it might be taken away from you (RIP Danny!) 3)Friendships are just like good health, the true value is never realized until you no longer have it 4)Don't laugh at a persons dreams, a person without dreams doesn't have much 5)Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it 6)It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love 7)For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, "It might have been."
::"life is too short... grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. laugh when you can, apologize when you should & let go of what you can't change. love deeply & forgive quickly. take chances, give everything & have no regrets. life is too short to be unhappy. you have to take the good with the bad, & smile when you're sad. love what you've got, & always remember what you had. always forgive, but never forget. learn from your mistakes, but never regret. people change & things go wrong, but always remember that life goes on . . . as we go through life, we learn that even the one person who was never supposed to let you down, probably will. you will probably have your heart broken more than once, & it's harder every time. you'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. you'll fight with your best friend. you'll blame a new love for things an old one did. you'll cry because time is passing by too fast, & you'll eventually lose someone you love. so take too many pictures, laugh too much & love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

-Mohandas GandhiHatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
