Just looking to meet some interesting travellin' folk!

ABOUT ME

Well, I grew up in a good home with good parents and a good childhood. I didn't get everything I wanted, but I had everything I needed. I was an excellent high school student and an average college student. I've got my share of baggage, but I've learned to keep it out of sight at appropriate times. I try and keep active by working out weekly and playing in regional ultimate frisbee leagues; I played ultimate at UW and fell in love with the sport. I do a lot of reading to keep the mind from atrophying. I've got a job that pays the bills but doesn't necessarily give me peace of mind. I enjoy a good party the same as I might a quiet mountaintop. I've got a good group of friends from both the past and present that I can always count on to have a good time with. Like many, I've got a plan for my life but I have a hard time sticking to it.

PHILOSOPHY

It's human nature to look in the mirror and realize things could be better than they are. What people always forget is that things could also be a lot worse. The one thing you must remember is this. No matter how down your life may be at one moment in time, there is always someone somewhere who feels happier in your presence. Take joy in that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken some spills in my life. In fact, I could probably count on both hands and feet a few times over how many times I've banged myself up doing something daring and stupid. What's amazing about that is that I have yet to break a bone!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in a lot of things like anyone else. Let's see, I enjoy things like reading novels, shooting pool, playing guitar, collecting music, ect. I used to draw a lot and play drums too. I'm interested, as far as subjects go, in time travel, physics, astronomy, chemistry, people profiling - like why people make decisions they make - math, computers, and art - mostly drawing, painting, or computer graphic art. I can share all that.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, United States
