Just your good friend, Erick

About Me

I grew up in Floydada, TX which is fairly small for all you not familiar with the area. I ended up going to school at Texas Tech and pursued a few majors, but ultimately ended up going into nursing. While in college, I found myself in the unique position of being a youth minister at the Methodist church in Ropesville (an even smaller town). Over five years, that congregation became my church family and the kids there grew to be a big part in my life. My wife (Abbie) and I have since moved away from the horizons of west Texas to the greenlands of Indiana. Indianapolis, as it turns out, isn't such a bad place to live. It's not hard to find a place to fish, which is a hugh plus over Lubbock. I found a job on an orthopedics floor, so I'll be working with people that are recovering from hip and knee replacements and other issues dealing with bones. The only thing lacking right now is a bar with dartboards for steel tip darts. When I find that, and when Texas Tech football plays to thier full potential, things will be hard to beat.

My Interests

Darts, Disc Golf, photography, thinking and talking with other people who think

I'd like to meet:

On myspace: old friends. In life: The Dalai Lama really has a lot of things figured out and is humble enough to admit that he has a long way to go. It would be nice to have conversation with him.

Music:

Ian Moore, Pink Floyd, all of the cool bands from the '90s, Jazz, Blues. Abbie even got me listening to little bit of country music

Movies:

Any movie with Brad Pitt, Robert Redford or Salma Hayek.

Television:

I have cable now, so I am looking forward to watching NHL and all the college football games.

Books:

Praying for Gil Hodges, Meno, 100 Years of Solitude,Fight Club

Heroes:

My Dad
