About Me

Iâ€™m actually a relatively simple guy. I went to Oregon State University and had a blast. I've grown up a lot since then, so I guess that puts me at about 12 yrs old mentally :)I love being outside, and am always trying to go camping, fishing, hiking, or biking with friends. If you like to do any of these please give me a holler since everyone else seems to have weekends booked until next year sometime. I also got to admit I'm an animal lover. It seems like animals, pets especially, connect with me. Weird I guess but it works for me:)I tend to be rather sarcastic but always with the intent of humor. I enjoy making people laugh almost as much as I like to laugh myself. I can even be found laughing at myself from time to time. I mean, if you sit down and think about it some of the things one does can be rather dumb, air-headed, or abscent minded...all of which are good fodder for a laugh. I guess this is why my sense of humor tends to get me through the rougher parts of life, I can always laugh it away...ha ha haFor those of you who want a challenge (Namely Kevin C.), riddle me this: What is fugacity and when is it used? (No dictionary crap either, I'm looking for a simple explanation since Iâ€™m a simple minded guy :)And just like half the other people out there, here's a fun little survey for your reading pleasure.

My Interests

I love to go camping, hiking in the woods, playing in the snow, seeing and photographing picturesque nature scenes, play with animals, and keeping healthy and fit. Of late I've been attempting to add to or improve some of my skills, so I've taken an interest in interpersonal communication/interactions, business operation, and investing.

I'd like to meet:

If your friends don't consider you prissy, a drama-queen, or high maintenance then you're half-way there. Other characteristics would include easy-going, intelligent, fun to hang with, enjoys being active, likes to be outdoors, and curiosity.Compassion, attitude, and intelligence makes you just as attractive as physical beauty. You can even get bonus points if you have in interest in science/engineering, business, investing, like to cuddle, or can teach me something new.Words To Live By

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Don't be irreplacable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. Before you critcize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. The quickest way to double you money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. A close mouth gathers no foot. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. Those MySpace Ads... So what is up with all these MySpace ads? So far I have picked the hottest woman on all three major TV shows, have demolished more mailboxes than I can shake a stick at, have lassoed innumerable cows, have out-boxed Mike Tyson, and of course have out farted a gorilla. With all these mad skills, not once have I actually received what was promised to me. Anyone else seeing there prized skills going to waste...and feeling cheated at the same time?

Music:

About anything goes, as long as it's not to extreame in any one direction. Not much into country or rap, but a little of each is fine. The best of course is White and Nerdy .

Movies:

Actively reading through an number of books that I feel will help reach my goal(s). To date they have been predominately investing and interpersonal relationships/communication. Ha ha, tricked you. You were expecting a list of cool movies instead, weren't you! Check out my books section instead.

Television:

Good for collecting dust, and that's about it. There are too many fun things for me to sit on my butt and watch TV. If you've sifted through all the junk I've written up then here's a little treasure. I'm on AIM as ptchemist, Messenger as ptchemist, ICQ as ptchemist, and I'll let you guess what my Yahoo!Messenger one is. No, I'm not a messenger freak. In fact I hardly ever use it, but I do use Trillian which lets you do all 4 at once.

Books:

And here's a good little snippet!

Heroes:

My grandfather, my grandmother, and my mom. Ben, my parent's cat, is also my hero. Anyone who can get by with nothing more than purring, sitting in people's laps, and napping has figured it all out.
