CURRENT MISSION

Getting my life set up in Detroit. Finishing novel. Meet interesting people.

ABOUT ME

My name is Adam. I just moved back to Detroit after being in San Antonio the past few years. Most things seem the way I left them. Although the smoking ban in bars is strange. Anyway, I'm one of those student of life types. I'm am always looking to learn something new. How else can you stay fresh? I'm trying to make a living as a writer, so I'm always looking for new inspiration. I really enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories of life adventures and close calls out on the road. I really enjoy driving. Last month I drove from Texas to Detroit, then from Detroit to New York and back. My Ford Focus seems to be able to get anywhere for around $100.
