My names is Westley, I usually go by West. I'm an odd one, only one person that I can recall has EVER called me normal... I still don't get why. I try to be different, mostly because normal guys are bungholes and I don't want to be. I try to be sensitive and understanding and I like to think I do well at it. I'm quite open minded. It helps that I've lived abroad, in the Philippines, for a bit over 4 years. I'm a bit of a traveler and one of the more spontaneous types. I love meeting new people, so be warned if you talk to me, I'm probably going to want to meet you and I sometimes get a little too excited about the idea. I'm more of a listener than talker, but sometimes I do my share. I'm good about understanding and care about past hurts in people. One of these days I'm going to write and finish my book on cutting, but I've been busy with life and writing a sci-fi with my older brother. I like writing, reading, paintballing and lots of other things. So hit me up if it sounds intriguing.

I am a contradiction, strange, and unique

Fixing my car. Going back to school (Fall '06). Talking to people. Writing songs and poetry. Planning my future in counseling teens.

Never Be - By West

I could read your soul, if I could read your heart. I could rule the world, if I knew where to start. You turned my night to day when you took my breath away. I can't wait another day. You took my breath away.

Please pardon me if I don't speak so eloquently.

Chorus: Are those freckles on your face? Are those tears that I can taste? All the pain I caused in my haste. All the times that I would waste. Flying in the wind, Are you listenin'?

You took my past away Gave me another day Tell me that you'll stay 'cause it's for that I pray. ----- I could touch your heart, if I could find your soul. I could learn to love this world, thats what I'm told. I can't wait another day. You took my breath away. I can't find the words to say, But here's what I am today.

I'm the lover you never had I'm the boy that hit your dad. I'm the friend you never had. I'm the one who made you sad.

Chorus: Are those freckles on your face? Are those tears that I can taste? All the pain I caused in my haste. All the times that I would waste. Flying in the wind, Are you listenin'?

You took my past away Gave me another day Tell me that you'll stay 'cause it's for that I pray. -------------- It would never be my place, to ever be so bold But I had to tell you this, cause I am getting old. You set my heart so free After it'd been chained to stone You taught me all I could be And now I'm flying on my own.

I wish that I could be Your love's security But it's plain for me to see This love can never be. 'Cause I'm flying in the wind And you're never listenin'.

'Cause I'm flying in the wind And you're never listenin'.

Because I am flying in the wind And you are never listenin'.

Listening to people and trying to help them with any problems they may have. I love to psychoanalyze and predict things about people (ie favorite colors, life experiences and states of being...). I'm pretty good at reading certain things about people.

I'm tall and quiet.

Air, water, women, books, God, writing utensils

Deep and abstract things, past mistakes, ways to improve peoples' lives.

Saving the world, or talking to people... whichever comes first.

I'm honest and way, way too open with people. If you ask me something, I'm likely to answer you as best I can.

You are intelligent and would like a friend to talk to. Or if you're female and find me attractive; or, lastly, but not the least important, if you just need someone to talk to.
