One of these days... A mud hut with a view

About Me

Ummm... I'm a really happy person. I love my friends and my bike. And green tea and Red Strips. I graduated school a few weeks ago and since then... yea... I've slept and been to the beach a lot lol.I think people are total treasures… Their stories, lives, pains and loves. Life is such a freakin’ gift, you know? I’d rather spend all day sitting on a curb talking with a homeless guy than bragging to my coworkers about my new car or bank account. This is life. Go outside and live it.

I'd like to meet:

Donald Miiller, Gordon Parks, the guys from "Relevant magazine", Ryan Adams on a rainy day, those crazy/hella brave guys from green peace who get between the whales and evil whaling boats, someone from Baliand, Amy Lee, the dude who came up with cannibalism as an alternative to eating animals, and, um, Michaelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... cuz i've had a freaky mad crush on him since I was like, you know, six.uMMM... And I GUESS it would be ok if an adventurous, goofy, brave, guy came my way... Someone who could keep up with me on a bike or in a conversation... Someone I don't have to ask to push me up against a wall and kiss me.
