never stop celebrating the life of our departed brothers, for in you and me they'll live forever

About Me

I'm big and strong, and smarter than most fools. I work my butt off. I train hard. And I force myself to charge towards the unknown that lay ahead(metaphorically speaking). I know that I can do anything I want with my life. I'm not there yet but I'm "terminally" optimistic(I've been told my positive attitude will be my undoing).I'm a geek to the core and I'm cool with it. But I like to think I'm the best of many worlds(or at least a rich blend). I love punk rock and tattoos but I'm down to go line dancing to country music. I bike everywhere, hundreds of miles a month, but I regularly spend my days off watching a marathon of movies, and eating gummi worms and twizzlers. I study mixed martial arts and spend several nights a week getting the crap kicked outta me by my training buds(and a little vice versa). I'm working on getting A+ certified so that I can start working in the IT industry. So I'm a geek and a jock right? a red neck and a punkrocker? a lover and a fighter? depends on who you're asking I guess. Oh yeah, and I'm fricken hilarious too:)

My Interests

parkour, martial arts, movies, pool, music, tattoos, fitness, climbing, hiking, biking, running, weightlifing, travel, superheroes

I'd like to meet:

I'm actually pretty content with the people I have in my life right now. And I'm afraid of meeting anyone that I really look up to because I might find out that they are really total schmucks. Like when I saw David Copperfield live and figured out that he wasn't a real magician, he's just a big faker. It was heartbreaking.
