CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with.
I intend on getting the most out of life, which I think requires a healthy balance of organisation and spontaneity.
I love my friends and family, as well as meeting new people.
I can be very social and outgoing, but I can also be pretty introverted and introspective.
Big cities are fun and exciting for a while, but I prefer quiet country living.
I'm a nomad at heart and get restless when I stay in one place for too long.

INTJ. OCD. PBS mind in an MTV world.
I love life and the challenges it brings.
I am determined to change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

None of us get out of this life alive, make the most of it!

Music: I like a lot of music and will listen to almost anything as long as it's good. I'm a huge Bob Dylan and Beatles fan and grew up on classic rock and bluegrass. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Punch Brothers, Avett Brothers, Shakey Graves and Willie Watson. But my listening preferences fluctuate frequently. My favorite genres are Jazz, Classical, Folk/Bluegrass, Indie, and Blues.
I like anything from Frank Sinatra to Modest Mouse, James Taylor to Kings of Leon. I just can't stand death metal or anything involving screaming and banging of instruments instead of playing them.

Books: Bible, Dictionary, C.S. Lewis, Pilgrim's Progress, The Hobbit, Grapes of Wrath, Anthill, Dr. Seuss, History books, especially midievil, Roman, and early American history, Folk tales, Mythology, Political books, MacBook, many more.
