I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

In the End
Its Only You
I love life. It can be both a beautiful and wretched thing but I will never stop living for each day. People who complicate things and are forever unsatisfied should be put on an island together where they can all tear each other down and leave the rest of us in peace.
I thoroughly enjoy expressing myself through words, I do it quite often. It's like breathing.
I take pictures. Lots of pictures. Of anything and everything.
Simple living is the way to do it, no matter who you are or where you're from. Take time to step back and do something spontaneous, it makes everything so much more alive and real.
Love is seen as something not to be trifled with, something that should be taken seriously, and in the romantical sense, something that must come naturally. Personally, I'm addicted to romance. I think it's the most amazing thing on the planet.
Playing my guitar is an obsession, despite that my lack of abilities frusterates me. It is a refuge much to the equivalent of writing.
I believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior, and I plan to passionately pursue Him and His will for my life.
As is typical, my friends are ridiculously important to me. So is music, yet another given. I do not pretend to know everything, nor do I wish to. Revelation and wonder make life worth living. Hope and faith keep me going. And laughter heals all wounds.

Dislikes:
slutty girls
People who can't drive the way I'd like them to
over-cooked pasta
Flakers.
clowns. I really really really hate clowns.
Emo-ness for the sake of fitting in.
Politicians who associate themselves with a group of people and claim that their opinions apply to the entire group... when they dont. Take Christianity for example... according to some people (select politicians, pastors, whoever)... all good Christians should hate homosexuals. I'm sorry that they feel that way. Because I believe that although God might not be cool with homosexuality, I don't have to hate those people. GOD LOVES EVERYONE. and He says you should too. So for the people who are treating others like crap... stop it. Grow up and learn to respect other people's lifestyles. If you want to effect them, do it by not showing hostility... otherwise they arent going to give you the time of day.
Liars. If you don't have the decency to be honest, get the heck away from me.
Random Tangent:
My birthday happens to coincide with National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day... just in case you care.

I'd like to meet:

The musically inclined
Those with a head on their shoulders and a sense for good conversation
Anyone who's real.

This here is the first boy to truly steal my heart at first sight - Elijah Chaz, my adorable nephew

This kid's already got me wrapped around his little finger...

"Love is walking the line between life and death: one side is dark and razor-edged, and the other translucent and glowing. It's never a possession, but always a possessor: with a smile as soft as clouds, and eyes that pierce like winter chill: Love is everything you have ever wanted. Goes wherever you go. Consumes whoever you become. It's everything."

In my opinion, good friends are the best kind of heroes.
So here's the Line Up
Love this boy. That's basically all there is to it.
Besties for life, the beautiful Samantha Kelley. She insisted on moving very far away for school, but we still have our adventures.
The infamous Miley Jean; we've been causing havoc in this small town for seven years and running... don't know where I'd be with this girl
The always smiling leprechaun who helps me get through my work day, David
Colby Engstrum, my former youth pastor, and one of the most intelligent people I know.
My sister, brother-in-law and most adorbale nephew, Eli.
