About Me

I was told that there are no answers in your 20s.
I'm not one to believe everything that I'm told..but..I'm beginning to have more and more faith in that statement.
I tend to put all my eggs in one basket and end up disappointed. Because of this, I'm more guarded than I used to be. I guess you could say I've put up some walls. They'll come down eventually.
I'm always game for trying something new.
I've realized that developing an appreciation of simple things and taking advantage of seemingly ordinary opportunities is more satisfying than anything that can be bought.
I have a hard time breaking bad habits.
I live to snowboard.
I've learned from experience that what goes around comes around.
I'm not one to burn my bridges. I just back off for a while.
I am a work in progress.
I take a long time to make decisions.
I love to meet new people, even though it makes me a little nervous.
Depending on what situation I'm in or who I'm with, I might seem withdrawn at first.
Give me some time to warm up, and I promise it will be worth your while.
I feel restless a lot of the time.
I want to see the world.
well, most of it anyway.

Karma's a bitch.

Monday night I headed down to Winona (all by myself) to see some friends that were visiting for the evening from Chippewa.  I didn't get there until around 11, and  discovered that driving t...
