About Me

Got intelligence? Check.
Got humor? Check.
Got milk? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh... Crap.
Ah well... 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
So I just finished typing a whole bunch of stuff in here and 'lo and behold it disappeared. How awesome is that? Not much, really :P
I've recently been bitten by the proverbial travel bug and am itching to do some travelling. I think it started when I went on a solo road trip for a couple of weeks a number of years back. I had an awesome time and saw lots of amazing things. My plan is to hit up Spain and see a few other parts of Europe whilst I'm on the other side of the big pond. Can't wait!
I've also been a guitarist for a bit over 10 years now. I started off playing things like rock and metal but after a few years of that I got into flamenco and haven't turned back. I've been performing flamenco with a troupe (dancers/singer/guitarists) once a month for nearly 6 years and it's been a blast!
There's quite a bit more to me, but it's all very complex, like cream cheese, so I'll wait to write it until I can wrap my head around it all.

My Interests

hanging with friends, hiking, biking, guitar, music, board games/video games, computers, learning new things, bowling, basketball, football, hockey, the ocean, comedy, sleeping, martial arts, brewing beer, snowboarding, road trips, vegas!

Things I've tried in China

1. Chicken Foot - Not too appetizing to look at (for me), but all over not bad tasting. They are generally broiled and very soft having a mostly gellatinous texture and very little taste.&...
