Hello, my name's Mike.
I'm a sane guy from East County who is not a bro or a deadbeat. I'd like to think that I'm an all around good guy, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
I'm an interesting human with an assortment of interests, vices, hobbies, and loyalties.
I can be rather goofy and have quite the sarcastic sense of humor pretty much like every other person around. If you don't mind a good laugh and randoms topics ranging from odd toponyms of small towns in Newfoundland to a dare to see who can run up Cowles Mountain the fastest, then we might just get along after all.
I love my friends and I would do anything for them. I am truly blessed to know people like them. In addition I love my girlfriend Aivi very much, we've had our ups and downs but she really does make my life that much more worth it.

I value people who are mature and have a good understanding about the world. Ignorant assholes need not apply, the same goes for fat chicks.
New people to go get coffee with are always cool so drop me a line sometime, my AIM sn is VelvetAcidMike
However, if you have a special place in your heart for drama, bullshit, a martyr complex, or you're just a self centered asshole then we probably won't get along.
You hope, and you dream. But you never believe that something's gonna happen for you. Not like it does in the movies. And when it actually does, you want it to feel different, more visceral, more real.
I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, 'cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever...
So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, you know what?
It's probably worth it. ..
"This is the moment when one needs morale; this is the time it pays to hold on to yourself, when everything is perfectly bloody and conditions are impossible, when one is an inch from letting go completely. Character comes through in moments like this, and those without fiber bend."- Simon Murray
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects."

I don't care anymore - WWIII, Global Warming, shift of magnetic field, killer asteroid, whatever.
