No matter what I'm doing, I try to have a good time doing it. I'm not the run of the mill type who is satisfied with the normal rat-race style American life. I'm an optimist who believes that every situations is what we make of it. For having stayed put in Milwaukee, I can say I have been around enough to look at things differently. I have a Job (or two) and am looking to live comfortable at some point, but I intend to do it on my own terms. Being a parent has both humbled me and shown me that I have to live the lessons I try to teach. I find that it has empowered me to follow through with what I believe, as well see the difference between priorities and idealism. I'm coming out on top, I'm just not quite sure how just yet.

Working slightly more then full time and taking care of my daughter. Making time to finish the laundry list of unfinished projects, take over the world.

Fixing things, problem solving, getting into and usually out of, trouble, lifting heavy objects, building fires, ect...

That I don't look like I may have a week ago, my look changes a lot depending on my mood, and how much facial scruff i'm willing to put up with.
