About Me

HAPPINESS IS: Camping. Adventure. Forests. Waterfalls. Tidepools. The moon. Twilight. Cloudy skies. The smell of rain. The color green. Sunsets at the beach. Sunrises in the desert. Playing music in the woods. Shafts of sunlight. The melody of a songbird. The company of friends. The smell of coffee. The whiskey I put in it. Late nights. Crazy people. Long hot showers. Little kids. Doodling. Flying a kite. Cuddling. Cheesy horror flicks. Road trips with good friends and plenty of cash. Acting. Watching. Thinking. Writing. Learning. Existing. Being creepy. Living easy. Nothing in this world would make me happier than to be a kooky old grandpa whose amazing / bizarre stories make him a legend in the eyes of his grandchildren.
