I am here for Friends

About Me

So you wanna know about me by reading my myspace profile? That seems just a bit voyeuristic and stalker-esque to me personally. I'm a much bigger fan of the direct approach, if you want to know something - ask.
I'll give you the basics though; I'm Irish, I have red hair, I need Dr. Pepper in order to survive, I'm allergic to Beer and anything that's sugar-free, a little left of center politically, I have a sarcastic wit that may be more trouble than it's worth, and I can't swim. Family Motto: Non Sine Periculo ("Not without Danger" for those of you who don't speak as much Latin as I do).
My one big regret in life is that I didn't take nearly enough pictures with my friends.

My Interests

People, Women, Questions of the Soul and Metaphysics, Books, Music, Soccer, Rock Climbing, and general good times.Words to the wise (in order of importance):1)Live hard. Drive fast. Love, with reckless abandon.2)The world is a smoking gun and it's loaded, soon it's going to blow you away.3)Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive.4)It's only when we've lost everything that we are free to do anything.5)A man without fear is a man without hope.

I'd like to meet:

“Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. Damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”
- Tyler DurdenWho I'd like to meet? I've met most of the celebrities I'd ever want to, and all of my friends are pretty ridiculously badass so I'd have to say nobody really. If you're not on the list, sorry. Not everyone can run with this, but you can try.
