Step one: remove soup from can

Never in a million years did I think I would have a blog of my own.

*Flashforward a million and one years* holycrapIhaveablog!

First off, i'll introduce myself. I am a kid early 20's who lives in Salt lake City, Utah. I love the city I am in, except for the constant weather extremes, the ever-present threat of an earthquake (I live right on a fault line), the idiots that think they can drive here, and the fact that my fiance' (who henceforth sheall be called Sharpie) lives 80 miles away in the cow/sheep/goat/cheese capitol if this strange state.

I am doing what you are supposed to do after high school, the whole go to college, get a job, work up the corporate ladder and overthrow your boss thing. I an in my second year at the fine (albeit ghastly expensive) University in downtown SLC, studying to be a high school history/automotive teacher. Yes, I am aware that is a wierd combination, and that teachers get paid next to nothing and have to deal with moody teenagers for nine months a year. But somehow, I can't wait to get my first teaching job!

I have two passions in life. The first being my darling girlfriend/fiance' Sharpie (who is probably going to kill me for using that name). We met years ago back in high school, but both her and I were taken by others for most of those 4 years. A cup of coffee and a gorgeous smile brought us back together, and I fall head over heels in love with her every time she is in my thoughts, dreams, or arms. Soul mate comes to mind here. She is also the reason I have this blog, as she is an accomplished and amazing writer herself!
My next passion is the automotive industry. Since I was very young, I can always remember being fascinated at the noisy machines that nearly everyone in this world relies on. First it was Mustangs and Cadillacs, thanks to my dad, brother and grandfather, then hot rods became dominant in my thoughts. Where that came from, i'm not sure. But it has turned into a career for my young life, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. Forgive me if I ramble about them...I turn into a deer in the headlights when an early '30s hot rod drives by.

So thats me in a nutshell. If you choose to follow me, be prepared for rants, ramblings, and odd combinations of life and love.
