You can fool some of the people all the time...can't you Mr. Bush.

About Me


I hate this sh*t...but oh well...
Well lets see...
Simple Version: I'm just like every other recent graduate who feels lost trying to find their way on their path through life.
Likes: I am full of countless insignificant details, but among others, I enjoy loud music (I wanna rock!), dancing with myself (oh oh oh), philosophical jargon (I'm agnostic, but find most religions to be "fundamentally" important), astrology (LEO), astronomy, "staring at the sea", Greek/Roman mythology, and of course all things green. =) I also consider myself to be somewhat of an "individualist". In other words, I don't like stereotypical labels that attempt to define the essence of everything that is "ME" by a set of some defined social standard. I'm unique and greatly cherish the ability to continually grow and change. I'm not the same person I was yesterday, so any label placed on me today is probably not going to be valid tomorrow anyway. Just take me as I am and try not to think about it too much! Oh, and in case you havent figured it out through the sarcasm by now, I try not to take myself too seriously most the time. Sometimes it feels good just to be able to laugh at yourself. My advice: Don't be afraid to be yourself and act like a fool...life will be SOO much more enjoyable in the end!
If you are interested in the even more Complex Version, you're just gonna have to discuss it with me.

Quotes About Me:
"I think you are just different enough from everyone else to be worth noticing" - B.B.
I love to travel and by the looks of this map, I have a lot more to do...

My Interests


"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
