I am here for Friends

About Me

i love my family, i love my friends, my job is great, life is good.

My Interests

Well I have a horse. his name is Laredo, and he's awesome. I really like to repeat myself, and overuse the phrase "like, what.." I like to dance around to 80s music. it makes me feel happy and fancy free. I like making a fool of myself. i like to imbibe good beers with pals. I enjoy frolicing through fields, no seriously i do. When a big wide open field is waiting for you...run, just run through it. and i think that my main area of interest is laughing it up with my friends. i also heart sociology A LOT. I think 6th graders are hilarious and inspiring. I was a Youth Minister for a year and a half, and it was one of those fantastic things I hated to say good bye to. But now I am living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast working for a Faith Based Volunteer Organzation focused on Katrina relief and develoment. And let me tell you, its great. If you want to be humbled, joyous, appreciative, nostalgic, and see what life is really all about...come on down.

I'd like to meet:

people who live life and love it...they're always pretty cool to hang out with.Basically I think if you don't laugh, like a hard belly laugh each day you need to reevaluate your life. yes this is a big crazy, often sad world, but I think that laughter will save us all. what is better than laughing till you cry with your friends? yeah, thats right...nothing. When we are all old, senile and wearing diapers we will hopefully be with someone who can make us laugh...
