About Me

To put it most simply if you take equal parts "Fight club" and equal parts "Forrest Gump" you will describe my life to to a perfect fit.
HI! my name is Courtland, I am from Birmingham,Al. And I have managed to return here after a bit of a hiatus. Of course now that I am back home every time I miss a call on my cell phone everyone assumes I skipped the country again.I really enjoy photography, travel, and adventure. late 2006 I completed a 600 mile bicycle ride from orlando to birmingham. After living in Oklahoma for a bit, medical reasons brought me back to Birmingham.
Check out my photo gallery from some of my adventures here
I am an extremely fun loving person who is always up for excitement. Try to catch me on aim my sn is "rifted mind" if you ever want to chat

And right about now, I just want to go and ride my bicycle

My Interests

I am interested in a lot of things. I really enjoy photogrpahy and motorcycles and I also really like origami, martial arts and foriegn films. I could ramble on and on about all the things I am into, but we can leave it at, i will try anything once, twice if it is cool

I'd like to meet:

I really enjoy meeting new people, I talk a lot but I like listening even more. I get a huge kick from foreign films strange foods and photography.

I really enjoy traveling around, but sometimes it is nice being a tourist in my own city. So people who are adventurous and are willing to get out and see new things are great, as well as people who aren't afraid to get a little messy from time to time

and of course other bicyclist

Music:

I listen to a lot of ska and punk music. I love indie rock and a lot of music from the fringes. And the occasional bit of metal makes me happy.

Movies:

I have a really varied taste when it comes to movies. I got a huge kick from pulp fiction, old boy, and kill bill

Television:

I dont really watch a whole lot of tv, I tend to stay pretty busy on weekdays. The only shows I really watch are House, Wifeswap and the L word (but only on mute)thank you tivo

Books:

I think "snowcrash' by neal stephenson and anything by robert heinlin will make for a good read. Most of the stuff I have read, falls into the realm of vintage sci-fi and cyber punk.

My Blog

It’s not real fun till the cops get called
