I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Wandering aimlessly for the past 30-odd years, seeing where the pattern takes me. There are people I've met who claim to have known me for longer than I've been around. I don't necessarily believe that, but it would explain some things . . .I believe in being prepared for everything - last-minute dinner guests, formal, fancy-dress ball, or zombie apocalypse. If there's anything I don't have for an occasion, chances are good I can either make or get it with little difficulty. I pride myself on being adaptable to any circumstance.

My Interests

Everything. Absolutely everything. Currently making fire-resistant, waterproof, puncture- and abrasion-resistant, rabid-dog and zombie-proof body armour.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone, eventually. Since that may not be the most realistic of goals I'll say anyone who has something useful to contribute to my ongoing quest to experience as much of life as I can for as long as I'm able.

Movies:

Casablanca, Waking Life, Donnie Darko, Night of the Living Dead, Suspect Zero, Lawrence of Arabia, The original Star Wars movies, Clerks, Mallrats, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Television:

TV tends to be a vast wasteland of "reality shows" and entertainment "news." Vapid pablum for the masses. Of course, I don't have cable, so there may be something worth watching out there for those of you who can afford it. Mainly, these days I watch CSI and House.

Books:

All of them. Currently works by Ormond McGill, Tim Powers, and Peter Ackroyd, but it's always changing.

Heroes:

Milton H. Erickson, Harry Houdini, R. Buckminster Fuller, Wallace D. Wattles, Robert Anton Wilson, William S. Burroughs, and Batman
