fight for felicity for me

About Me

first off, i cant spell and rarely follow any sort of punctuation rules. i am amazed at the talents of most of the poeple around me. 23 going on 72. ive had a lot of odd jobs which has given me enough skills to be mediocre at a lot of things or at least be able to fake it. my new hobby is archery. i am an eagle scout and my friends wont let me live this down. photography nerd. i admire function and utility.

My Interests

music, movies, bike riding/fixing, riding trains, watching trains, analog photography, laughing, food not bombs, guitar, free food, 4x5 cameras, mamiya645s, being outside, climbing things, roof access, tying knots, playing catch in the street till it gets dark, meng, a warm sunny day, some friends, and a baseball diamond, pre-post-apocalypticism,
