I'm 24 and from Lansing, Michigan. I've been involved with amateur boxing for more than 12 years, which is a topic of great interest to me.

I plan on turning professional in the near future and following my longtime dreams. I have a roommate that is a large Orange Haired Baboon tarantula named Sheila, and spiders have always fascinated me as well.

Writing has always been a hobby of mine, and I guess the prospect of earning a little money for what I do anyway was appealing, so I joined this site.

My passion is ...

Boxing

I know too much about ...

I hate to quote a video game here, but "Knowledge is power."

My parents always told me ...

When I have kids, they'll be worse than I was.

My childhood ambition ...

To be a boxing superstar.

Why I write ...

It helps me gather my thoughts and understand them better.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The bumper sticker thread. Lots of good humor there!

My best moment ...

Touching gloves with Muhammad Ali on my way to the ring once, before having the greatest boxing match of my life.

I want to be with you.

I dream of us together,
I dream of destiny.
I don't know if it's weathered,
It's surely not to me.
I think the way things are,
Are not how they should be.
