About Me

Well, I'm a pretty good, decent guy (sorry if you're looking for the dangerous type). I'm not insanely outgoing, but I do like having fun and am up for anything.

I'm really not into acting like you like someone or something just to fit in. I like what I like and I am who I am. If you don't like me for that, well, that's your problem now isn't it?

I tend to be a neat-freak sometimes. My books and CD are always in alphabetical order, though as I type this there is a pile of dirty laundry on the floor. So it goes both ways.

I'm not a very religious person though I do believe in a higher power and trying to do right by nature and all it's creatures.

My Interests

I play guitar, bass, drums and can pound out piano chords if need be. I enjoy writing songs (whether they're good or not is a different question).

I watch TV a lot, read a lot, and like mixing and editing music a lot. I also like etymology.

PAUL: From the Roman family name Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with somewhat similar interests though I won't totally rule you out for it, and someone who has a good sense of humor; I might have to rule you out for that one.

Words to live by:

"To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy,to inferiors nobleness."
--Benjamin Franklin

"Not all those who wander are lost."
--J.R.R. Tolkien

"Adults are just obsolete children, and the hell with them."
--Dr. Seuss
