Food and drink lover. Raised in the Racine, Wisconsin in a multicultural family that cultured a lifestyle of good food and drinks.

My love for beverages: began when I started drinking coffee. A few years later I discoverd waffle house and the magic of fresh ground coffee. I soon began trying many diffrent styles of the beverage. I eventually ended up working at waffle house, that is untill i turned 21 and got a job as a sales clerk at a liqore store. That is when my love for coffee became my love for good whisky, beer, wine, and coffee. I have yet to get too far into the beverage snob lingo... I simply try to find something the beverage tastes like and use that to describe it. Or often i'll try the beverage with a certain type of food and describe how well they match or not to help discover the many food beer / wine matches one can create. I have tasted many diffrent types of beer and wine, as well as many high quality liqores and liqours. I make the mix drinks at social gatherings and / or assist in the always important desission... what beer to buy / wine to drink? - Creative: I design flyers / stickers, websites, graphics, logos, ect. I paint, write, and produce many creative works of art, poetry, and music. I also enjoy experimenting with photography and digital video. ...Still saving for the Mac and Final Cut Pro.

Julie has a weakness for buying strangers drinks on credit, she has more than a dozen little black dresses hanging in her closet, and it appears as though she's into strenuous . . . anything. She generally embrace life with abandon--as long as she doesn't have to cook. Taking the world by the balls leads to an occasional awkward moment or two--but who's counting? Besides, you gotta play to win.

I live for good times and collect good memories. I'm a fun-loving mischievous Minneapolitan Republitarian Piscean Epicurean tattooed insomniac INTP entrepreneurial sellout with exceptional spelling and grammar skills and questionable moral attributes who consumes way too many Full Throttle Energy Drinks with no desire to cut back. I value personal responsibility more than anything else in individuals. I like people that don't just talk about their grandiose plans but are doing something about them. I like people who still dream, regardless of the size and scope of those dreams. I try to be perfect, and I always will. It's the act of striving for something that pushes me to be a better person than I am right now. I love working in music and writing. After leaving the corporate world behind this past May, it's what I do. I've done promotional and marketing services for many bands on a local and national level. It's great to connect a band to an eager listener searching for a new song to envelop the way they feel right now. I treasure writing for a living. Being able to write about anything at anytime at any place is wonderful. It's my "American Dream" where my success or failure depends upon the time and effort I put into it. I've burned the ships! I've hit rock bottom before and know what it's like when the only helping hand reaching out is the one on the end of my arm. Emerson said that "none of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone." It's a mantra. I love bonfires. Sitting around a bonfire with old and new friends alike, sharing stories and reminiscing is one of my favorite things in life. I think the words "tomfoolery", "ballyhoo", and "shenanigans" should be used more often. I'm an introvert by nature, but I love attention and I have a huge... ego. And your mother would love me.
