i guess life's all about danger. and excitement. and meeting amazing, inspiring people. maybe even traveling (for me, at least). nonetheless, i try to demand the impossible, because it's just more fun that way.
i currently work with bees, whether it's for a local beekeeper or the relocation of swarms from peoples' houses. i'm also a bike mechanic at a local shop.
i'm madly in love with life. i think you should be too. i suppose that's one of the reasons i have this journal: to explain to others why they should be enamored with the world around them.
someday i'd like to work in the rainforest somewhere cataloging new species of insects and spiders. or lizards.
someday i'd like to build bikes of all shapes for a living- road bikes, cruisers, choppers, tricycles...
i think that there's more than one way to live.
i don't have anything to hide, so i don't do friends-only posts. if you add me and i don't add you back, you're not missing out on anything. if i added you and didn't leave a comment, it's because i read something in your journal and liked the way it was written. or there was a nice visual. or something along those lines.
