I love the outdoors, hate it when I am forced to turn on the a.c., it makes me sick. And I never get sick. I love sweater weather (granted my threshold for "sweater weather" is relatively low) and night hikes. Pain, mmm (especially smashing fingers); one reason why I love construction work - much better than the soul injuring cubicle work. I'm looking for someone fun to share time with occasionally due to my busy schedule this summer. I would like to consider a meaningful pursuit; I am just picky, and would expect the same from you.
Exercise is must, I often get plenty from work, but ache for more. Mostly minimalist running. I enjoy yoga, when I go. The feel of batting balls is high on my list of favorite sensations; coupled with the anxiousness of getting hit by the pitch only adds to the pleasure. I've tried to take up target archery with a long recurve, I'm no good but feel it calms and connects me.
I play too much chess online, not anywhere near enough with real people.
Perhaps I drink a bit too much coffee and whiskey, though that's the extent of my addictive tendencies. Not too bad.
And I might be that annoying guy who, when walking through the woods or a park or just about anywhere really, spends my time identifying tree and plant species. I might be.

Having earned a degree in a field I am no longer interested in pursuing I have now pursued my true calling - horticulture with an emphasis in sustainable landscaping, it blends my interests of construction, design, and science.
I work hard so that playing hard feels well-earned. Balance of life through the extremes?

hurting myself and healing.

The tall bald guy, I have accepted this title much like accepting the title of being referred to as my older brother's younger counterpart when I was young. I don't like it, but recognize how it makes it easy for people

why did they plant that there?, slowing stormwater, how much corn fields upset me, should i pop that blister?, rip off that callus? did that hurt?, perhaps i need to drink some more water.

typical? ummm.. i'll choose hopping on my bike and going for a night ride, that is probably the most typical. plans do change
