Tyler has returned to Rocky Top

I conquered Cedar Falls and have returned to trash the South. Yippee!

About Me

Hey Everybody. My name is Tyler, and I am working on a Master's degree in English at the University of Tennessee. I'm originally from Iowa, and did undergrad at the University of Iowa. I'm a pretty chill guy who likes music (a lot) frisbee golf (yep, a lot) and days when my car doesn't break down. I also like hats, and feel a deep spiritual connection with some guy named Jeff Lebowski.Sure, there's more to me, but this is all you get on my first day of Myspacing. Deal with it.

My Interests

The Written Word, Live Music, Bowling, Frisbee Golf, anything Hawkeye. Go Vols!

Don't you know who I am? He must not know who I am!
