I'm past long monologues about my life. I realized it's more important what you do with people than what you say to them. I got up on this to keep in touch with friends from college, and to see how uncanny it is that everyone seems to know everyone else when you get down to it. I'm loving it in Japan right now, traveling around the Pacific as money and time affords. Other than that, I'm just looking forward to my next chance to get back to Texas for a visit of the bars and friends I'm fond of.

Either a ninja or a pirate, but I'm smart enough to know that they don't get along. So I'd have to arrange two meetings.

Aside from that, I'm always interested in people that are into getting out and checking out something new in this land of a thousand opportunities, preferably in a heedless and spontaneous manner. I also appreciate people that throw ideas and words in front of me that allow me to learn something new or challenge myself. An ability to appreciate a pint and live music is a must.
