About Me

For the longest time, I believed I knew exactly who I was. Even as I type this, I find that I become someone/something entirely different from what I certainly believed to be a comfortable assumption. What I have come to be sure of however, is that in order to truly understand who you are, you need to first realize the way in which you're perceived by others. I don't necessarily mean by the information you provide or even so much as the gossip most are coaxed into believing as truth, but rather by personal connection. So much is exchanged in moments of silence that the human vocabulary simply can't express. Philosophy aside, I'll attempt to paint the picture I hang on the wall of society.....I serve at a restaurant.

My Interests

enjoying time with friends, going to bars, meeting new people, longboard skateboarding, smoking, philosophy, learning new things, random events and the discussions because of them, letting my mind wonder, not knowing what lies ahead of us, looking around, things that make me smile when I'm by myself, being brought to new places, writing poetry, writing in general, watching movies, mountain biking reading, going to school, riding my bike to work, sneezing, discovering new music, traveling, the occasional serious discussion, learning about wine, experiencing what life has to offer and realizing there is more......

I'd like to meet:

real people not worried about what others think of them, anyone and everyone wanting to talk about anything and everything, anyone that regularly attends this eventimg src="http://www.bigupradio.com/newsimages/00_title.jpg"
