I am here to make friends especially if you are a Simpsons character, dead communist or part of the Karate Kid series of movies . . . also I would like to meet people from other parts of the world who can tell me about living in their countries. I would definitely like to live overseas in the future and would love to hear about life in other countries . . . I moved to Portland in April of 2005 and have found myself to be pretty busy these days with a new job, newfamily, new home, commute etcVisit my blog!Check out my photos on Flickr!
