Dirty Hands

the worst part about having curly hair is having curly hair.

About Me

The show season is imminent. The late nights are upon me; chain smoking, dirt, grease, intake compression ignition exhaust, repeat. I've started to let go of terms and conditions. I've started to accept and be grateful for what I have as well as what I don't.
I want to be content, I want to be of service to those around me, and those who are not.
I want to be in the middle; to take the middle road. I want to be just spiritual enough to be ok being human.

My Interests

the observer, my truth, your truth, and reality. steps forward, steps on toes, steps in a direction.
coffee, cigarettes, octane, burnt tires, blown motor biscuits, photography, engineering, trouble making, smart-assing, difficult times, shoe lace pulling, bad influences, people who are seeking and have let go of what they are going to find, dark rooms, stained mattresses, the people who make me nervous, dyed hair, sweat as lubricant, metal forging, light fixtures, kite flying, belt buckles, tickling, old cars, spray paint, hot glue, fake flowers

I'd like to meet:

Doers, Movers, and Shakers. Seekers, poets, artists, mad scientists, and arch-nemesis's. Makers, and breakers.
Fans of the high five, dirt track racing, old cars and greasy nails.
Friends of the checkered past, and the seeking of a greater experience.
