ABOUT ME

Born in central Minnesota I might have been a subject of the Lake Wobegon effect. Then again most people back in that area are. While I was one to leave Minnesota to follow dreams and start a new life in the Pacific Northwest I will never forget my Minnesota upbringing. Someday I will be back, Someday... I am twenty six year old male living in my own apartment. Dante said that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who in time of crisis remain neutral, so I am often passionate about politics in my daily life.

No matter what it's a beautiful world, rain or shine, and there is more to life than winning. I have dreams and I will go after them, I am passionate and believe in my convictions. I believe that one can always strive for better and to remain content is to die, and as always in Lake Wobegon "the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

In all I am an average Joe trying to find his fit in life. Right now I don't really know where that could be, but I am enjoying a heck of a good time trying to find it.
