About Me


I like to... swim, play with the squirrels that live in my front yard, drive to almost nowhere, argue the mundane, act like "the shit", admire the beauty of motion and rest, espouse on the profound, shun shorts in the summertime, practice not playing the guitar, read novels, watch movies, take pic's of landscapes and sunsets and 'yes', Lily airplanes, listen to my Zune on shuffle (when did I buy this song?!), talk with my friends, mushrooms of all varieties, did I mention drink?, let my inner monkey roam freely, eat at diner's (and Waffle House), go for long walks and take my kids to concerts! And every once in a while meet new people.I've lived in Michigan most of my life but have also lived in New York and Utah.

A person of action and self-direction, you love being independent.
To outsiders you seem impulsive, surprising, and unpredictable.
You are good at understanding how all things work, except for people.
In love, you tend to be very easy going and flexible.
The only thing you can't stand for is someone trying to change you or your life.
At work, you can stay completely calm under pressure. You handle stress well.
You would make an excellent pilot, forensic pathologist, or athlete.
How you see yourself: Logical, flexible, and unconventional
When other people don't get you, they see you as: Indecisive, flippant, and disrespctful What's Your Personality Type?

My Interests

Growing a beard, guacamole, someone to invent a better smelling mosquito repellant-(What? Mosquito's don't like Aqua Velva? Musk?),(Don't go changing!), response: Dirty!),planning the soundtrack of my funeral, turning wine back into water, sleeping on it, 'manning up' (from a comfortable distance), acting like that one thing and giving serious thought to retiring early!
