My Interests

I like the simple things in life like a good book, movie, or TV show. I don't drink or do drugs because of this reason: they cause trouble. I don't like to embark on adventures of epic proportions. I leave the dangerous stuff to the imaginary people in my head, in the pages of a book, and those that are depicted on the "big" and "small" screen. I like to watch anime, listen to stand-up comedy, play baseball, go jet skiing, and watch football. I don't like to try new things unless it's food.

I'd like to meet:

People that respect life and themselves. I don't care much for people who take advantage of their positions in life to cause trouble *cough* George Bush Jr *cough*

Colorado

I realized this the minute I stepped into the colorful state of Colorado but I brushed it off for a long time...Colorado kind of sucks. Don't get me wrong, the people here are nicer than they were in ...
