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?

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Well, the winter storm showed up, finally. As I write this,there are 2-3 inches of snow/ice on the ground outside my apartment. While not the cataclysmic meteorological event that the news was predicting, the snow is making life a little interesting.

Downtown Salem

I'm enjoying it, though. Nothing like being bundled up on the couch with Christmas lights on, a candle burning, steaming hot chocolate, and video gamest that need to be played.
