Well, alright… a little about me. I am 28, male, Caucasian, six foot tall blue eyes brown hair about 210... like long walks on the beach and going to the- WAIT A MINUTE!
Sorry. So many of these "personal info" spiels I read are the same- la la la hanging with friends la la la having fun - What a crock. I expect more from the people here on BN and I suspect that they expect more from me as well. So, here is the real deal.
I am interested in a lot of things. TOO MANY things probably. I am an aspiring actor (who isn't, right?) and I am back in school at the University of Missouri Kansas City, trying to finish (finally) one of four degrees I have started. (English, History, Theatre and Tellecommunications Management) While having no life due to school and rehearsal, (See Blogs!) I am also very interested in becoming a pilot someday, and love aviation. I make my own beer, and one of my favorite pastimes is devouring the beer with good company so I have an excuse to make more. I also love history, and ask anyone who has had a few of those beers with me and you will know that I have a tendency to turn anything into an historical analysis.
I love music - of all kinds. I have a thing for all things pirate (history again) and I enjoy collecting antique weapons (much to my lovers delight *sarcasm*) I like to paint and build models and miniatures of fantasy and historical figures. I like to read, almost anything except romance and mysteries. I actually prefer to read reference books, biographies and memoirs. I am into computers, though not as much as a lot of my friends. I am dating a fellow “blogger”, who incidentally has me addicted to this as well now, Princess Lucy.
I like karaoke.
And I am a pirate. ( www.musicalblades.com )
I like to be on stage more than anything though, and I suppose that is why I am finally acting as much as I should have been in my early twenties- the age of every other undergrad at UMKC.
So now you know a little more about me. I hope that this has inspired you in some way to read more of my blogs, if not, then to hell with you ;)
