About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find places steeped in creativity with people who are interesting and unique so I can finish my nearly completed novel.

ABOUT ME

I'm about 5-11, maybe six, 150-ish lbs, long red hair and a Virgo. Straight, but Gay don't bother me one bit. I'm in a band with Gay members where I play the bass Guitar. Been writing a book since 2008 and am in the home stretch for finishing it. Not looking for a Hook-up, and tend to get along with most women. love animals. Kids are cool and I do well with them, but really need to know them before any poopie diaper stuff happens, but I've done that stuff before too. I'm easy going. Love pretty much all types of music with an emphasis on Classic Rock. Don't care too much for that Gabber electronic stuff but can totally hang out with some Dub-step. Country's cool too. (Figured i'd say it, 'cuz you either love it or hate it...) I drink beer and smoke herb when the herd dose, but am happy just meditating or writing or playing bass on my own. Yes, I smoke cigarettes, but will follow all applicable rules. Voted For Obama, but am known to occasionally listen to Rush (good for perspective) and don't have any preconceived notions of anybody's political views. Sexually calm, mildly sarcastic, and enjoy making people laugh. Can be a bit of an insomniac and throughly enjoy listening to Coast to Coast A.M. Not that I believe it- as much as I enjoy it. The truth of it all is this: I love new people and their stories, no matter how boring or far-fetched. All I really need is good hospitality and an internet connection so I can continue to write my book and be inspired. Also, I'm clean, can cook, and don't mind chores. Oh, and, By the way, can and will fix ANY plumbing problem you or your friends might have. I'm a second generation plumber and don't mind the work but HATE the industry and will never do it for money again. I got too much of that... what's it called... Moral Fiber and prefer to not make a living from ripping people off. But if you help me, I will help you, which I think, should be the basis of all of our business plans moving toward the possibly (though probably not) tumultuous times of 2012. I believe in God, but not "Religion" per say, though, will never judge you on your beliefs, even if that belief is in nothing. Personally, I think no one religion is correct until they embrace the possibilities of the rest. However, I do not have any tolerance for hateful practices or close-minded belief systems. I am just looking for good people and creative freedom. Actually, yeah! I'm looking for someone JUST like YOU! He-he.. See You SOON!

PHILOSOPHY

Plato is the squishiest. But I have been known to always say: "There is nowhere you're not supposed to be. Everything happens for a reason. And the things that don't, well, they didn't happen for a reason as well." And I believe it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mine, Mine, and that one... I think it was by me... (Tong in cheek) Love Kerouac, of course. But I'm still pretty sure that the best art is still out there undiscovered, so, why spend time on what I've already seen? If you like it, show it to me! And I promise to do the same! By the way... Les Claypool is the shiznitt...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode in an elevator with Gorge Burns. I shit you not.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you hate yourself, I could teach anybody how to do basic plumbing on any standard American household. Other than that, I think i got a pretty good grasp on modern philosophy.
