About Me

I grew up in a small town in Missouri with two sisters and a brother. I was very active and enjoyed playing many sports. I did about average in school, and I am a huge procrastinator. I'm not very out going, but enjoy hanging out with my friends, which I have made some very good ones at work. I lived in North Carolina with my older brother for about a year and a half. I just moved back to Missouri, because I missed my friends and family too much, I guess. I love to play wiffleball, ultimate frisbee, and just about anything that lets me run and go crazy. Sometime in the near future I want to run a sub 17:00 5K (my best is currently 17:54) and maybe if I'm real stupid, some marathons. My ideal Saturday is just lazing around, listening to CD's, playing Nintendo, watching movies and hanging out with friends and family.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Playing sports, like: baseball, flag football, ultimate frisbee, badmitton, putt-putt golf, soccer, basketball, running and wiffleball. I enjoy listening to music, playing video games, reading, doing puzzles, etc. The St. Louis Cardinals (2006 World Champions!) I absolutely love Calvin and Hobbes (pure genius) weezer is my favorite band, and in my opinion, the Blue Album is one of the greatest albums ever. And my favorite gaming franchise is The Legend of Zelda. There is nothing better. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Favorite Video Games ************************* The Mario series, Legend of Zelda series, RPGs, and pretty much any NES game.

And a magazine I like to read is Game Informer. And PostSecret, even though it's not really a book, just a collection of secrets.

Heroes:

Steve Prefontaine - he ran each race with such heart and fire in his eyes. No one could match his guts or his tolerance for pain.

My Blog

Friday the 13th

I will make this brief.  It definitely lived up to it's name.  This was the most bizarre one I've ever had...and strangely enough...the best.  By far.  That is all.
