I'm really bored so I'm going to update this.

In the Army, in Afghanistan. blah.

I'm from Pensacola Florida-. I used to live in Portland, OR and Hawaii. These are all places.

I like boxing, vintage advertising art and belgian beer, Darwin, Hard bop jazz and stupid indie music, Tom Waits and the beatles. and so much moooore. I like thunderstorms, calvin and hobbes, stop-motion animation, and stripping leaves in half.

The best thing is making people laugh, I get a lot of enjoyment from that. My humor is-weird? Look at my journal, you tell me. I'll map a basic idea of the the things I want to do, but I will likely take a couple detours along the way. I like women who love conversation. And sometimes that means debate, nothing makes a pretty girl into a sexy girl faster than her intelligence. I like to think of myself as a nice guy. That doesn't mean boring, though. Just light-hearted.

Well...hoping to have fun, as an obvious short term goal. I'm looking at where I will be living in the near and distant future. So far I know this: somewhere not in Afghanistan.

I'm taking a lot of online classes and missing sleep while I'm here. And illegally downloading music. Life is wild.

I run and work out a little, so keep myself from falling apart.

pffffshhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmuuuuuuh...quick thinking.

if i knew this then the first thing I would notice about anyone else is what they were noticing about me, which I hope isn't the case.

I'm tallish, reddish hair, blue eyes. one of those, I guess. Do people actually notice eyes or is that just a way to not say what they are thinking?
