About Me

If there's one thing I can say for sure about myself, it's that I am very introspective, so I should be good at this.

I once used this phrase on a social dating site, "Athletic - Hippy - Nerd."

I think that sums me up pretty well actually. I love letting go and playing some basketball, touch football, ultimate frisbee, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It is a great way to ease my anxiety, get out of my own head, and completely forget about the world for a bit. Its amazing how refreshing some good competition and lively games can be.

I also love getting down and dirty, as well as getting in touch with my inner spirit (yea I'm talking about my hippy side.) Walks in the woods, enjoying some time on the beach, guitars around a campfire and classic rock music will always be a part of me. The older I get the more in touch with this I seem to be (though I do listen to other styles of music). My inner (and outer) hippy is the most liberating part of who I am, and which I have the most respect for. I value wisdom over intelligence.

Finally, I'm also a nerd. That's probably why I go to U of M. I can state that as a fact because I used to do my homework on friday nights in high school so that I wouldn't feel pressured on the weekend to stop playing The Sims or Roller Coaster Tycoon on our family's computer. I also love the board game Settlers of Catan and getting into deep discussions at house parties. But my inner and outer nerd is where my intelligence comes from, and when paired with wisdom, can be an amazing tool.

I hope you enjoy my writing, and if not that's alright too. I appreciate the time you've given to checking me out. It's all a work in progress, and always will be.
