live adventure!

About Me

hmm...what to tell of the man, the myth, the legend, the mountain man, lol...well, the biggest news about me lately is that im raising support or fund raising my own salary to do college ministry at Fort Lewis College. For more info on how you can help out, please go to www.myspace.com/supportmikewall. So yeah, Jesus is my homeboy...and employer. im just living the adventure. im living the dream...maybe i should start from the begining though...well, i grew up in lee's summit, mo. I now live in durango, co. im a script, song, etc. writer. i love to act, sing and play guitar also but i like to think im too busy to be famous, lol. i guess my personality would fall under the label of one burly dude but with a heart of gold. im real. im raw. i tell it how it is. i may not be tame in many areas of my life but im good...at least i try to be. i live adventure. i have no piercing or tattoos because i believe scars tell better stories and i have plenty of those. when im at home, id rather sleep on the floor or outside than in a bed. even with the love i have for the outdoors, im always up for just watching movies at night with a friend or two. relationship wise, im in need of no one and nothing but my Jesus. when i pursue friendships/relationships, its because i want to, not becuase i need to. in that, i will lay down my life for any friend in need. who do i try and be like? well, Jesus but that doesnt always work out so well but i try my best most of the time. what can i say, im selfish at times. that being said, im not perfect so dont expect me to be. well, if u have any questions, feel free to email me and ask.

| View | Add FavoriteAn Adventureful Life:Continuously in an aw, I have lived a full life, Slipping the boundaries of common sense. Red meets green, then green meets blue, I’ve climbed, Through storms of dreary lighting so intense. I have stared down fear to find my true self, In the rivers, canyons, and mountaintops I called home. Free to go where the wind blew brisk, I found a land I loved while still finding peace in my roam. Most have not done what I have done; Nor have they seen the wonders I have seen. I have hucked through the thin cold air, Feeling the weightlessness that lives in dream. My young heart stopped still knowing its alive, Gliding the currents that most don’t dare touch. A giddy roar belts from my warm lungs, Such a simple life not asking for much. I have chased love and had love chase me back, Finding such beauty while dancing cheek to cheek. A woman could take my breath away if she had my heart, The melody of her voice as beautiful as a mountain creek. I’ve experienced a thousand things most men would not test, And have pushed my body past the limit, its character to learn. From raging rivers to snow-blasted mountains, Sunsets and sunrises being the memories of a world at turn, Up, up, I climbed ever so higher. Up to the twilights, seemingly heaven bound, Soring through water-colored clouds, In the rolling mists, I was eventually found. I have lived an adventure that truly will never end. Challenging death till he steps up to fight, I live in my courage that calls to my heart. I have gazed in my amazement and been touched by God’s light. by m.K.wall copyright 2006

My Interests


umm...yeah, my life pretty much rocks! playing in a rock band is a highlight of my week normally. i like playing football, hockey, and soccer. i like chilling with my college group and youth group. Storm chasing, skydiving, camping, backpacking, kayaking, surfing, skiing, mountaineering, and canyoneering (nothing better than jumping off a 60 ft waterfall into the water below...except maybe eating Serious Texas BBQ or Arthur Bryant's BBQ and having a big glass of chocolate milk...mmm...) r fun too. anything that give me an adrenaline rush basically. also, i know it sounds stupid and is crazy but i love climbing mountains in thunderstorms. to be in the heart of something so powerful and destructive is amazing yet so peaceful. facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=674651255
