About Me

Kinda over myspace, but whatever. Trying to truly live life and not just let it be lived. I'm very motivated to squeeze every drop and cross off as many things as I can on my "never done that" list.
Posted some pictures from an epic day at Tuckerman's Ravine. Check them out.

My Interests

In: ROAD TRIP!, reading, writing, upcoming surf and softball seasons, my personal video game revival, carving stuff out of wood.
Out: Being bummed about rain in the winter and not snowboarding because of it.

Music:

In: Labseven and Tony's band: Genius of Soul.
Out: Every show is sold out these days, you can never get tickets at the door. Lame.

Movies:

In: Ratatouille, The Life Aquatic
Out: The Bourne blah blah blah. So exciting it's boring.

Television:

In: Learning stuff on the history channel. Especially that show The Universe and anything that has to do with the ocean.
Out: Everything but the history channel, especially Lost. So many plot twists it's boring.

Books:

In: Chuck Palahniuk, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
Out: Taking too long to read books I don't like but must force myself to finish. Reading the books I like so fast it seems like I'm done too soon.

Heroes:

In: Myself, Jen, bros, Jeremy Jones
Out: Unreasonable expectations of mortal men and women. Everyone makes mistakes, even heroes.
