    Mountain Man Mike's Interests
General
umm...yeah, my life pretty much rocks! playing in a rock band is a highlight of my week normally. i like playing football, hockey, and soccer. i like chilling with my college group and youth group. Storm chasing, skydiving, camping, backpacking, kayaking, surfing, skiing, mountaineering, and canyoneering (nothing better than jumping off a 60 ft waterfall into the water below...except maybe eating Serious Texas BBQ or Arthur Bryant's BBQ and having a big glass of chocolate milk...mmm...) r fun too. anything that give me an adrenaline rush basically. also, i know it sounds stupid and is crazy but i love climbing mountains in thunderstorms. to be in the heart of something so powerful and destructive is amazing yet so peaceful. facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=674651255
MusicPM Milk, Death Cab for Cutie, Newcomers Home (and their solo projects), Matt Wertz, Tara Leigh Cobble, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Hurst, Eric Peters, Howie Day, The Fray, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joseph Arthur, ColdPlay, Postal Service, Nickel Creek, Jhan Doe, Hanson, Stricken, Jars of Clay, Damien Rice, Yellowcard, Waterdeep, and last but not least, the TNF Band (but im a bit biased in that i play guitar and bass for the band.)
MoviesMovies to see: The Passion of the Christ, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Aspen Extreme, Luther, Donnie Darko (Director's Cut), Butterfly Effect (Director's Cut), Crash, Dust to Glory, The Jacket, Top Gun, Romeo and Juliet, Into the West, Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Snow Walker, The Village, Signs, Sixth Sense, Boondock Saints, The Last Samarai (i probably spelled that wrong), A Scanner Darkly, The Ring, Man on Fire, Band of Brothers, Napolean Dynomite, Fallen, Out Cold ("loving it strong"), and one for the ladies...The Notebook. Movies not to see: The Hulk, Alexander, Elephant, Star Wars (any of them), wow...there r so many...i shouldnt even waste my time with the rest.
TelevisionPTI, Sports Center, Primetime, Love Monkey, The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Law and Order SVU, Radio Free Roscoe, How I Met Your Mother, X-Files, ER, Friday Night Lights, Whistler, Boy Meets World, Survivorman, and Ghost Hunters...i only catch these shows every now and then cuz i dont get much time to watch tv.
BooksThe Bible is a nice read...kinda long though...but then again it is the Word of God and all...specifically Job, Legends of the Fall, Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, 1984, Wild at Heart, The Twilight Labrynth, those r the only books i've read in my life so i can't comment on any others (okay so ive read a few more than that but the obviously werent good enough to put on the list.), Lord of the Rings (havent read it but the movies were great so it's got to be good also, right?)
HeroesJesus, can't go wrong with that...followed by my grandma, grandpa, and my mother. outside of the fam, id have to say buck o'neil.

About me:
hmm...what to tell of the man, the myth, the legend, the mountain man, lol...well, the biggest news about me lately is that im raising support or fund raising my own salary to do college ministry at Fort Lewis College. For more info on how you can help out, please go to www.mikewallministries.weebly.com. So yeah, Jesus is my homeboy...and employer. im just living the adventure. im living the dream...maybe i should start from the begining though...well, i grew up in lee's summit, mo. I now live in durango, co. im a script, song, etc. writer. i love to act, sing and play guitar also but i like to think im too busy to be famous, lol. i guess my personality would fall under the label of one burly dude but with a heart of gold. im real. im raw. i tell it how it is. i may not be tame in many areas of my life but im good...at least i try to be. i live adventure. i have no piercing or tattoos because i believe scars tell better stories and i have plenty of those. when im at home, id rather sleep on the floor or outside than in a bed. even with the love i have for the outdoors, im always up for just watching movies at night with a friend or two. relationship wise, im in need of no one and nothing but my Jesus. when i pursue friendships/relationships, its because i want to, not becuase i need to. in that, i will lay down my life for any friend in need. who do i try and be like? well, Jesus but that doesnt always work out so well but i try my best most of the time. what can i say, im selfish at times. that being said, im not perfect so dont expect me to be. well, if u have any questions, feel free to email me and ask.

RockYou slideshow | View | Add Favorite An Adventureful Life: Continuously in an aw, I have lived a full life, Slipping the boundaries of common sense. Red meets green, then green meets blue, I’ve climbed, Through storms of dreary lighting so intense. I have stared down fear to find my true self, In the rivers, canyons, and mountaintops I called home. Free to go where the wind blew brisk, I found a land I loved while still finding peace in my roam. Most have not done what I have done; Nor have they seen the wonders I have seen. I have hucked through the thin cold air, Feeling the weightlessness that lives in dream. My young heart stopped still knowing its alive, Gliding the currents that most don’t dare touch. A giddy roar belts from my warm lungs, Such a simple life not asking for much. I have chased love and had love chase me back, Finding such beauty while dancing cheek to cheek. A woman could take my breath away if she had my heart, The melody of her voice as beautiful as a mountain creek. I’ve experienced a thousand things most men would not test, And have pushed my body past the limit, its character to learn. From raging rivers to snow-blasted mountains, Sunsets and sunrises being the memories of a world at turn, Up, up, I climbed ever so higher. Up to the twilights, seemingly heaven bound, Soring through water-colored clouds, In the rolling mists, I was eventually found. I have lived an adventure that truly will never end. Challenging death till he steps up to fight, I live in my courage that calls to my heart. I have gazed in my amazement and been touched by God’s light. by m.K.wall copyright 2006

You know something? You are the best! Thanks for doing the Bible study last night, i love it...and yeah, i fell asleep 15mins after you left, i'm very blessed with my sleeping skills.
I'm @ the library near the magazine racks and the french toast on one of the covers is making me drool, i should go eat something before the loud grumbles get me kicked out for breaking the noise ordinance codes. Can't wait to see you at 5

Hey guy!

My Christmas was great, very low key and relaxing. How about yours?

Oh, just FYI I am mostly on Facebook these days, so if I don't get back to you quickly, it is because I don't check this all too often.

So, you engaged yet?

Oh by the way, I moved to Vegas around Nov 1st! My company got a job out here and i applied for it and got it, so now I'm here! Probably for about 1 year but we will see then. And i actually have not played a hand of poker since I got here. Sports betting is so much more addicting...i mean fun. Well have a good christmas, ill find a good date to head on up to CO.
