About Me:
Through a sea of corn I wade. I'm locked in a travesty of modern agriculture, all sides being walls of corn and soybean. My will is fading, as I find myself contemplating buying Reba and Big and Rich's new albums. I've been called a Theorist mascarading as an Empiricist, and I've been called things a lot worse. My life to this point is the culmination of one bad decision after another. This year I inspected 1,264 acres of soybean.

Who I Want to Meet:
Someone that has been moved in some way by something
other than NASCAR. Recovering Catholics, recovering Iowans. Phylogenetically isolated plant species.

horsie...looking very much like the
first time I met him except the
breeches were gray, not white, and the
horse was likely some wild beast with a
crazy mane and burrs in her tail :-)
should ask him about the
movie "Armageddon" and he'll tell you
some fascinating facts about how
scientifically inaccurate it is. He is
lots of fun to hang out with, and we've
been hanging out for many years!
best! Besides being an AWESOME
friend, he's funny and an overall
great guy. He definetly made my 4
years at Cornell more enjoyable. So
sad he's in Iowa now but now I can be
the one telling tractor jokes. :)
Miss you mucho!
Ryan justice...he's much less normal
than the three non-Iron Chef photos
would lead you to believe. He's been
crazy since high school so don't think
you can change his nutty ways. I will
(grudgingly ;) admit that he is the
wisest ass that I know. And I know a
lot of wise asses.
years, I can honestly say you won't find a
cooler guy in the entire state of Iowa.
Having visited Iowa, I can say this with extra
confidence.
business. Ryan is definitely my
favorite person in Iowa right now, and
definitely one of my favorite people
in general (in spite of his
politics). I think Iowa is taking a
toll on him because he said he'd see
Cher with me in Ames...I think it's
just a ploy to get out of staters to
visit. It just might work;-).
