About Me

I've lived a decently adventurous life. I try to balance my innate chaotic nature with my desire for privacy, and thus have attempted to (this might not make much sense to others) become unpredictably predictable. I spent lots of my past time hedonistically, then spent some time in the US Army Infantry (Bco 1/502nd 101st Airborne) and have seen enough to be pretty sure that for everything I know, there is the possibility that I could be completely wrong. That doesn't mean that I stagnate, that just means that I am always open for discussion, not always for debate. How do I see me? I'm a work in progress. How do others see me? Well, love me or hate me, their opinion is their own and none of my business. I expect that most people probably think about me less than I do, and life is better that way! I have the amazing luck to have a wealth of who I consider to be very good friends, and I'm content with that. I have room for more, diversity leads to broader horizons. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- START YOUTHINK.COM QUIZ RESULTS --

These are the qualities I connect to in people I meet: Adventurous, Spontaneous, Strong, Up for a Challenge, Good wit (sarcasm rocks!), Sophistication, Optimism, Not afraid to take chances, and some damn Class!These are the qualities I try to stay away from.

When real, kinda sad.)
