Everything happens exactly the way it's supposed to.

About Me

Good intentions. Questionable results. Flawed to a never before seen level of perfection. Quick to think. Slow to speak. Always ready with a laugh. Insanely curious. Aurally stimulated. I enjoy engaging in the games people play. The truth is perfect and free, but not always simple.

My Interests

Crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me and hearing the lamentations of their women. Aside from those main three, I enjoy: kickin' it with Bear, lazy afternoons, cold lampin', the sight, smell and sound of racebikes racing, the subtleties of tea, special treats, camping, road trips, fishing, the airplane I'm on landing with the wheels down on the runway, carne adobada, fish tacos, pinche funditos, my headphones, guns, knives, sharp sticks, live music, one on one conversations, murderin' suckaz on battle.net, crankin one off, painting, people who mean what they say, sleeping in, riding fast bikes fast, baseball parks, reckless eyeballin', cooking, eating new stuff, cold beverages on hot days, playing golf, raquetball, dominos, backgammon, cribbage and euchre.All that shizz and more in no particular order.
