CURRENT MISSION

making people smile, giving out free hugs, and generaly doing my part to make the world a better place

ABOUT ME

well, I'm goofy to start with. I'm almost always happy and I'm pretty content with very little. I have so many good friends and life is just having a real hard time trying to get me down anymore. I play guitar, mainly, I'm learning piano, and have picked up a bit on the drums. I'm majoring in photography, I got one of my pictures on a bottle of jones soda a while ago. I put 20,000 miles on my 80's motorcycle in five months and it died on me, those were the cold months too, I'm currently working to get a new one. I dabble in the arts, drawing, painting, whatever.... I'm kind of a big kid, it's usually immediately obvious. so, I'm fun, and my room mates are also fun, and I bet you're pretty rad, you are more than welcome to crash here :D

PHILOSOPHY

it changes according to what I'm reading and whatnot, but it usually orbits around being a good person and making my friends smile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the rain freeze in place right in front of me. I jumped off of a waterfall during some pretty heavy rainfall, and for a few seconds, as I saw it, the raindrops froze in place. it was a pretty magical combination.
