CURRENT MISSION

To expand my mind, share ideas, experiences, laughs, and anything else that comes my way. Live the pure life!

ABOUT ME

My name is James, I'm 22 years old and grew up in Long Beach, California. Although I love my hometown, I think there is still a lot out there for me to see and do. Hopefully CS can help make my travels and new experiences more interesting. I am a student transfering to Cal State Long Beach and also work for the Long Beach Fire Department as an ambulance operator. School keeps me interested in new ideas and I love my job since there is always the potential for the unexpected. But I think life can become routine and a bit boring if you stay stagnent for to long, just look at those somber faces in the car next to you if you happen to be stuck in traffic during rush hour. Well I have no intentions on getting that look on my face, I think there is too much out there to enjoy. I joined CS because I plan to study spanish in Costa Rica for awhile and hopefully take a break from my life here which is getting a bit too predictable. It's time to shake things up and meet some new people
As for who I am...Friends have said that I am a bit of a lost soul, I am a wanderer(you know one of those kids that gets lost at Disnyland or any other place you take them) I guess that's because I am natuarly curios. I love nature and being outdoors but of course there is something to be said for the warmth and comfort of your own home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving back from Utah with my friends we were passing by the salt lake right around dusk heading west and we chased the sunset for what seemed like hours.
