Like myself, a work in progress.....
I am interested in all things that help the soul to progress. I am drawn to the light & torn by the dark.....I am interested in the inner hidden workings of the universe, and facinated by the interelations, personal and otherwise, of the species (humans) on our planet....at the same time, I feel most people are full of shit, and should step the fuck back....even though I am constantly trying to find the good in everyone....I am an artist, from a family of artists....I am one of the best friends you could have, trustworthy and loyal....but also your non-typical down-ass tattooed mother-fucker on a Harley, spitting on the face of authority....
I am a walking contradiction.....even more so then most, even though most do fall into this catagory on one level or another.....I am an enigma, most people can't figure me out, and if you try to label me you will be wrong......The main difference is that I tend to embrace ALL aspects of myself.....from the dark to the light, for they are all true aspects of my being.....I have been through more in my thirty~six years then most of you could hope for in a lifetime.....I can relate to many......We are all humans with the same basic struggles.....I have lived in the darkness, and have grown to prefer the light, but often still tend to slip into shadows.....I relate to the hardcore biker......to the criminal hoodlum institutionalized in prison......to the working class and the downtrodden, I can relate to the intellectual, poet and artist....to the full blown drug addict , to the business man, lover and dedicated father.....I can relate to the innocent child looking upon the world with open eyes and beautiful wonder.......I can relate to the utter materialistic with their worship of money, to the lustful whom try to fix themselves with conquest.....I can relate because you see I have been there..... I am ALL these things and more......I try to see the true beauty beneath the ugliness, delve into the hidden veil, we are all here for a reason, everything happens to us with purpose, life's lessons to be gained if one is willing to look.....I am far from perfect but I honestly do try to make my world a better place and to help others, this is not weakness.....if you fuck me believe me I will fuck you harder.....
I learn from every experience, whether painful or joyous, slowly overcome my obstacles, each one tending to strengthen the character of my spirit and soul, from pain I blossom as a lotus from the mud.....I believe in perserverence and I will never give in.....
I just want to stay gold.......

Intelligence.....
Beauty.....
Rapture.....
The sound of a beautiful woman, in the throes of ecstasy.....
The distinctive roar of my pipes, as I white line L.A. traffic on my Harley.....
The sound of children's laughter, reminding me that purity and innocence still exist.....
The sound of a well tuned tattoo machine as it enters your flesh.....
Freehand Demon outline.....
Scar cover~up.....

I did the tribal and swirls only.....

Striving in my own way for this very moment.....Enlightenment!
