I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay doing agriculture extension work. Mostly, I just watch cows and attempt to speak Guarani. No worries... someday I might understand what they are saying and be able to say more than "ane'e michimi guaranime" I'll keep you posted. I'll be in Paraguay until December 2008, then who knows. I've never been much of a planner.

My Interests

Summer. I love being outside all the time during summer. I love stargazing (and get pretty annoying because I know all the constellations, greek mythology behind many of them, and the names of many stars). I love traveling and seeing new places. Other random interests in no particular order: Fantasy Football, Watching Football (NFL or college), Playing Fooseball and Darts, drinking dark beer and coffee, and spending time at my cottage in Northern Wisconsin/the "yoop"... the best place on Earth. And lately, watching farm animals.

I'd like to meet:

People who are intelligent, like to talk about random things, but don't take themselves or life in general too seriously.

Music:

I have a very eclectic selection of musical tastes. I grew up on classic rock. Got into Punk and Ska in High School, ended up getting into Party Kid mode and going to raves and parties and listening to techno/electronic. Then I chilled out, started listening to mellow music like Ben Harper and Jack Johnson and some Ambient Techno. Now I live in Paraguay and find myself listening to , dancing to, and loving Cumbia. I loathe Christmas music.

Movies:

Must haves: Ghostbusters, Big Lebowski, Boondock Saints, Dirty Dancing, Captian Ron, Van Wilder.I don't like sad movies. At all.But I do like dark movies American Beauty being one of the best!

Television:

The Girls of the Playboy Mansion is my favorite show I get to watch when I come to the city.

Books:

Anything by Chuck Phalaniuk, "The mutant message down under", "This side of Paradise" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "of Mice and men" and "East of Eden" by Steinbeck, and "The sun also rises" by Hemingway.

Heroes:

To those who feel like I'm neglecting them...

... I probably am.  I apologize.  I have a ton on my plate at the moment and I'm really just trying to get everything done. Don't be offended.  I still love you all.

Oh yeah, I can't leave the subject line blank... that's bullshit.

Random Packer Thought

I'm glad that Farve had a good game last Sunday.  Yeah, he had a interception, and a costly one, but some of that could be blamed on my boy Henderson.  Farve did throw 3 TD's.  Which is...

Most of you probably don't care about this... it's another rant.

I know I went off about this a little bit last year, but can I tell you how much I do not like Ted Thompson?  No?  Well I'm going to anyway, so grab a cup of coffee.Ted Thompson is the GM fo...

The fresh part of waking up... [jingle]

I had once talked about how bartending is an 'Art'.  I've come to the conclusion that being a coffee shop person is just like being a bartender, and is therefore also an 'Art'. (if A=B ...
