Nota Bene:

I’ve become more aware of the finer things in life over the last few years. I’m sure that’s part of the process called “growing up” but I really appreciate the fact that much of what I’ve come to believe is something I chose to do and to be by myself.

I’m trying to be more healthy and more holistic. I’ve also become more earth-conscious, insofar as recycling every time I get a chance. I’ll even save something which can be recycled until I can place it in a recycling receptacle (this is most often the case with the bottles of Naked juice I drink while at work at the Mall of America).

I’m a libertarian, an Eagle Scout, a left-hander, and I’ve come to the decision that I’m really a European at heart. I love the depth of the culture, the plurality of language, the diversity of music, the savory cuisine, and really just their overall outlook on life.
