About Me

I'm into a ton of things from making my own beer, to performing music (been known to sing and play piano after a few beers!), and then run a Triathlon the next week.After finishing grad school last year, I started going to a local dance studio and started taking classes for different latin dances. It's been really awesome!I'm the kind of person that might be into too many things, but I suppose I would get pretty bored if I didn't have all those interests.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone out there with similar interests? I've found that my closest friends share more of my 'key' 5-F's. Here they are: 1) Family - closeness with your direct family, 2) Friends - Similar sense of humor, topics of interest, 3) Food - Variety is good, limitations are bad, 4) Fitness - need to treat the body like a temple, 5) Fun - have to live and enjoy life.

So, I drove my mom to the Eye doctor's today - she needed to get cataract and corrective (myopia) surgery.  It went pretty well. The worst part about the whole thing was that I had to sit in the ...

Hot Sauce

I grew up eating hotter foods than most - especially since highschool and college. What I like most about those foods is the endorphin rush (natural mood enhancement) that you get from the capsacin (...
