I just logged in to this account for the first time in several years, and I must say it's funny how things change. According to this page, I was supposedly a Christian (that couldn't be farther from the truth now), I had a girlfriend (two years gone), I was going to be a Marine Corps officer, and I wanted to start a flight tour company on some utopian Pacific island (actually, I might have to reconsider that one...).

Anyhow, I'm a senior at Penn State, thinking about a future in the CIA, State Department or corporate loss prevention. I don't ever want to settle down, at least, that's what I preach at the moment.

My major goal in life is to travel and see the world. Not just the typical trips to Europe and the Caribbean that every other person embarks on. I want real, off the beaten path stuff. I want to run with the bulls in Pamplona, hike in the Himalayas (mountaineering is something I'd like to learn more about...), navigate one of the great rivers, see the Pyramids and Machu Picchu, and crash every party known to man. Rio Carneval, Thai Full Moon, Oktoberfest, you name it, I'm gonna be there. And obviously, the more adventurous and rugged, the better.

Lastly, baseball. If there's one thing I love about the USA, it's baseball. The greatest moments of my life are the ones where I watched the Chicago White Sox come out on top. World Series Champions in 2005 with one of the most dominant playoff performances of all time. Epic.

-I'm a student at [[Penn State]] University Park. I hope to get my degree in [[criminal justice]] and join the [[Marine Corps]] as an officer out of college. After that, I'm not really sure what I'll do. Going to law school or becoming a cop are the two frontrunners, but today I watched [[Six Days Seven Nights]] and came up with the brilliant idea that I should move to some South Pacific island and start a private flight tour company (I have a private pilot's license).

-My whole view on life is that if God did not want us to go places and explore the world, He wouldn't have made it. But as it stands now, He put a lot of stuff out there, and I feel it's my place in life to roam all over it. Like George Mallory said when asked why he wanted to scale Everest, "because it is there".  In short, I love to travel, and the more adventurous the better.
+My major goal in life is to travel and see the world. Not just the typical trips to Europe and the Caribbean that every other person embarks on. I want real, off the beaten path stuff.

Rio Carneval, Thai Full Moon, Oktoberfest, you name it, I'm gonna be there. And obviously, the more adventurous and rugged, the better.
-After a long time of just editing small mistakes, I have written my first article, [[Polihale State Park|Polihale Beach]]! It's a deeply spiritual place on Kauai, that I once tried to drive to, but never found the correct path. Instead I ended up in some creepy field and then later at a U.S. Missile Bunker. Yeah, it was weird.
+Lastly, baseball. If there's one thing I love about the USA, it's baseball. The greatest moments of my life are the ones where I watched the Chicago White Sox come out on top. World Series Champions in 2005 with one of the most dominant playoff performances of all time. Epic.
-My second article, [[Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park]], is now complete. Maybe its obvious, but I'm in love with Hawaii.
-I will now start a list of articles I have created and made major edits on instead of dedicating a paragraph to each one:
-*[[Polihale State Park]] (created)
-*[[Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park]] (created)
-*[[Kewalo Basin]] (created)
-*[[Wailua River State Park]] (created)
-*[[Fern Grotto]] (created)
-*[[Mike Devereaux]] (created)
-*[[Sundarbans]] (added the section "Sundarbans maneaters)
-*[[Kastellórizo]] (added the section "Island of Rho")
-*[[Despina Achladioti]] (created)
-*[[Island of Rho]] (created)
-*[[Hale Koa Hotel]] (created)
-As of this moment, I am taking it upon myself to clear the [[List of Hawaiian state parks|Hawaii state parks]] article of redlinks. There are quite a few, so it may take awhile, but atleast its a wikiproject to call my own.
