MySpace a place for friends

I've worked with Alcuin Library, the City of Rochester, Hollywood Video, United States Forest Service, the Post Bulletin, the Center for Economic Progress. YEAH!

I've served with AmeriCorps*NCCC Central Region, Camp CMW, Boys and Girls Club, the Tommy Basement Times. SWEET!

I've learned at Century High School, Saint John's University, and I continue to learn today. Please inspire me if you have a moment. AWESOME!

my humor lies somewhere between The John Larroquette Project and Stuff on my Cat. ALRIGHT!!

i just finished serving with the corporation for national and community service. though most of my cohorts and comrades were down in the gulf helping with katrina (by most measures, the largest relief effort of its kind, ever), it seems i may never again leave the state of colorado. i spent two months in chicago this spring helping lower income families and individuals prepare their taxes for free, and since then i have been working with the united states forest service as a wildland firefighter. it's a privilege and an honor to serve my country however she deems appropriate, and i look forward to a lifetime of service to the people around me and to myself.

and i love minnesota

following is the proof that i am capable of behaving like a woman.

Your Power Color Is Red-Orange

At Your Highest: You are warm, sensitive, and focused on your personal growth. At Your Lowest: You become defensive and critical if you feel attacked. In Love: You are loyal - but you demand the respect you deserve. How You're Attractive: You are very affectionate and inspire trust. Your Eternal Question: "Am I Respected?"

Things that Make Me Excited:
free grapes, not dropping my orange popsicle on my dirty carpet, D-Rex, being tucked in, attractive women, winning, any women, super glue on my fingers, not getting out of bed, thunder, dr mario, betterment, magic, $50 dollar bills, cards with my family, telling stories, crosswords puzzles, cryptoquotes
