CURRENT MISSION

keep keepin' it real

ABOUT ME

i live in/love pittsburgh (city of champions!) but love new People, Places, Experiences too so i have traveltimes pretty frequently (why i'm on this site). if you couched with me, we would morethanlikely bike (have multiple spare rides) around the city seeing a couple of the tourist spots (free stuff only), and many more 'splores off the beaten path. then a night on the fair city entailing dinnerdrinks and such. but, you know, whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

try to livelove for other people and get beyond Me. as hard as it sounds.
