For you the golden has lost it's gleam

About Me

I am a united states marine, currently stationed in japan. I enjoy me some Iowa. I read, write, and attempt to think. I'm taking steps to change;not me, but my situation. I never really get bored because my mind wanders so much so fast. I've found that if you continue to look at me without saying anything I'll probably say something and then say some more. I enjoy verbalizing my thouhts to make them more concrete, and I like to write down some of them because I have a poor short term memory. My favorite smells are vanilla and Fresh Ice. I can think of very little that scares me besides fast/slow motion.I am an open book; if you ask the question, I'll answer it.This Here

My Interests
