I'm pretty quiet, and not necessarily shy; put another way, I'm rarely going to start a conversation but I will gladly have one if the other person wants to.

I like being outside. From basketball, soccer, swimming, snowboarding, or even just a jog/hike; I'm a pretty active person. This is my definition of "going out". I like my "nightclubs" to consist of dirt, rocks, trees, and a campfire.

I have hobbies, I practice instruments, I can do my own laundry and I cook.

I'm educated enough to have an intelligent conversation.

I'm very excited to be spending this winter as a part-time snowboard instructor at Snow Summit in Southern California. I learned how to snowboard at this resort 12 years ago and I remember being a little prick to my instructor. I'm glad things have come full circle and now I will have to convince other little pricks that snowboarding is amazing.

To pay the bills I write content for all of those websites and blogs you can't stand to read because they are so littered with advertisements. You might not read it but I wrote it and was paid in kind, so what do I care?

I also write my own website about--you guessed it--snowboarding. I'm aiming to start contributing to the major magazines, but first I need more practice and education.

Speaking of education, every time I went to sign loan agreements I freaked at the terms and refused to do something like that. Now I just take one or two online classes a semester at a price I am able to pay out of pocket. I am being educated while I gain work experience, and that is the way education should be. Who cares if it takes a little longer?

I will quote you any movie with Chris Farley/David Spade from start to finish, unless you say something like, "Dude, shut up and let them say it."

Everything reminds me of a song. I have no idea where I have heard all of the random songs that pop into my head daily.

I'm not sure. My modesty? Although, isn't saying that you think modesty is the first thing someone notices about you a bit egotistical?

I'm your regular renaissance scholar. I love reading detailed manuals, textbooks, and truly substantive literature. I'm hungry to learn as much as I can with the time I have; our generation has so many thousands of years of knowledge available at our fingertips and I take full advantage of this fact.

For movies and television I'm all about comedies. I'll listen to just about any kind of music, and eat just about any kind of food. And that's all I wrote.

Air
Mountains
Snow
Fire/Heat
Books
A Hobby

All the shit I have to do.

Hopefully in a hot tub soaking after a long week of snowboarding. Or if it's summer than soaking in a pool, escaping the heat.

As long as you can still see the world through the eyes of a child, we will get along just fine.
