A Travelin' Man

About Me


*********************************************************** sojournern : a temporary resident ***********************************************************A hh where to start with me? I am an enigma to say the least! I grew up in Virginia Beach, And went to college in Richmond,Va at VCU. I've been to 11 countries and three continents since '99, a fact I am very proud of! (Mexico, Iceland, Scotland, England, France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Czeck Republik, Barbados, and Bahamas).I am a Senior Sales Executive in the Owner Services Department at my resort in Surfside, South Carolina. Which is really just a fancy way to say "In-House Timeshare Sales". I love my job! With a passion! But then again I only work about 25 hours a week, and pull six figures! === Im mostly focused on my work now, but I always have an eye out for fun. I love adventurous things, I love Nature, and I love to travel! ===I've learned English and German, and hope to be tri-lingual with Spanish by the end of next year. Im fascinated with people and how they interact with each other on both large and small scales! That being said, I can be a bit of a dork from time to time.===I love smarts! And I dont care much for ignorance! And If you know know me you've probably heard me say"Just because I know everything, doesnt mean...Im always Right!"===---Life's a Box of Chocolates...we'll be cool as long as you don't touch my F*c%ing Caramels!---

My Interests

***Traveling : Backpacking, Hosteling, Camping, and even once Train-Stationing, you name it...Ive either done it or Im about to ... -Some cities include- Edinburgh (climbed Arthur's seat), Glasgow, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, London,Stratford-von-Avon, Bath, Salisbury, Lake District (of course I camped), Portsmouth (for a real medieval re-enactment in the Castle ruins), Cambridge-made a trip to Trinity College, Oxford, (Oxbridge), Amsterdam (4 times), Paris, Munich (5 times/meiner lieblings), Fussen, Berlin, Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Cancun, Bridgetown, and a partridge and a pear tree. ___***Outdoors : Snowboarding, fishing, hiking, kayaking, biking (bicycle and motorcycle), and or anything that puts me near a large body of salt water (swimming, surfing, snorkling, sunsoaking, and so on) +*Note*+ When I say swimming, i really just mean lounging in the water, especially in the tropics,(I dont do laps around islands or nothing!) ___***Motorcycles : Genetically, I am pre-disposed to Harley's. They run in my family. (none of this crotch rocket, rice burnin' bullshit)___***Knowledge : "If Ignorance is Bliss; I will never be happy!" I am currently working on my Bachelor's Degree in Bachelorism, and I am almost finished....or as my uncle would say, cramming 4 years into 6. Surprisingly enough, almost every person older than me congratulates me when i tell them that. "A Smart man learns from his own mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others" - a wise man..

I'd like to meet:

I got an Awesome Girlfriend who treats me right...

Music:

I have always been a musician my whole life, music is how I clear my head. Whether it be playing the Piano for hours, singing, playing my drumset, or my saxaphone, or strumming a guitar when one's around, music is my release. Piano is my AXE of choice, most defiantely. I also have the Korg Triton Pro for those who know about production, man is that thing amazing (worth every penny of the 3 grand i spent on it). ***Genres*** Reggae, bluegrass, Kaiso (Calypso for you non-islanders), soca, Rock, metal, country, punk, gogo, trance, house, rap, r&b, some gospel, JAZZ!, folk, and grassroots (like DMB, and rusted root)...you name it i probably like it. Unless it sucks, of course. {[Right now I am playing drums for a local band that is in its genesis, look for us, we are already playing parties]} "Sliced Bread and the Cornbread Crew" If you notice your jaw hurts after you see us, well, thats because we just Funked your Face!

Movies:

..

Television:

Try not to watch it much. But its down between History, Discovery, TLC, and the News Networks if I hold the remote...

Books:

I love Edgar Cayce books. But I like to read all kinds of stuff. Its good for the Dome!I have the "Millionare Mind" by Thomas Stanley on CD and I listen to it once a month!..

Heroes:

He from whom all Blessings come!................................and.................... ....My Mom of course. Her strength has always been an inspiration, and it just so happens I was born on Mother's day................................ _______________________Favorite Quote____________________________"Far better is it to have a Stout Heart always and suffer one's fair share of evils, than to be ever fearing of what may happen!"-Herodotus {Live by it!}

Barbados Last summer during crop over (2004)

I saw this guy in concert in Bridgetown Barbados, at Soca Island. He had just found out he got the deal to record in the states. The crowd went wild for him. All Night worth of Soca, and calypso. ...
