Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

In case you missed the announcement, I have - as of a few hours ago - earned my MBA (with honors!). 22 months of work later, I now have that fancy diploma. So awesome!

me in my regalia

Of course, now I'm no longer a student... I'm just unemployed.
