About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be interested

ABOUT ME

I'm a slightly cynical person who still manages to laugh a lot. I like to do things, as opposed to sitting around and talking. Active stuff: hiking, kayaking, tennis, racquetball, American football. As for passive activities, I enjoy pool, board games, poker, cards, stupid drinking games.

PHILOSOPHY

What does this mean? Don't do any harm, I guess.
