About Me |
|
| I live and work in downtown Minneapolis. I work for a small company specializing in computer training materials. The company I work for, CustomGuide I have a B.S. in English and plan on going back to school to obtain my Master's degree in English Literature in the near future. A strong spirit of adventure flows through my blood, continually driving me to seek new, exciting, and amusing experiences. While meeting new people is a thrill for me, I remain intensely loyal to my friends and family. My family I have a wide variety of interests and am deeply passionate about life. My Paternal and Maternal Lineage ”If we start believing in a world that could be a better place, then that’s the first step towards making it that way.” -Simon Le Bon Despair is self-fulfilling; we must continue to hope because, by keeping open the possibility of a better future, hope releases the imaginative and creative powers that are the only means of achieving that end. "Beauty is Truth, Truth is Beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know" - John Keats "...The biggest dreams can still come true." - Bret "The Hitman" Hart "Whatever you do, do well, and may success attend your efforts." Some of my favorite places are: Riverside, Minneapolis, Minnesota Dingle, Donegal, Ireland San Francisco, California Prague, Czech Republic Birmingham, West Midlands, England Siena, Tuscany, Italy New Orleans, Louisiana Vienna, Austria Merida, Yucatan, Mexico Rennes les Chateau, France Grand Marais, Minnesota Tintagel, Cornwall, England Paris, France The Scottish Highlands Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, Minnesota//Background code here Myspace Layouts |
