Profile Edited by My Space Layouts MySpace Editor"Truth is the most comforting and upsetting thing in life. It is the mirror that sees past dyed hair, trendy make-up, designer suits, platinum credit cards, salon tans, and cosmetic surgeries and reveals the pathetic, shallow creature beneath all the props and fakery. People hate truth, though they'll seldom admit it. More often than not, it tastes terrible, looks incorrect if you wear it, and is offensive if you say it. Hypocrites by the billions profess to want it and believe it, but have no idea that it is the very thing they fear and detest most of all, because it reveals them for what they are...it demands something of them that they are not willing to sacrifice...their phoniness" ~ August Wolfe **********************************************************I am a writer, a musician, a music fan, an avid reader, a fanatical devotee of horror films but enjoy other types of film as well. I'm a divorced father of two (daughters - 14 and 12) the oldest of which lives with me. Single fatherhood is a trip. I like great conversation, shots of Barenjaeger, good German or Dutch beer but I can knock down a PBR or a Lone Star with out skipping a beat, and enjoying these delights with friends of mine of similar persuasion. I think I've been in love before but I'm not sure. I've been married more than once but that doesn't prove anything. My scars aren't the visible kind, and there may be a few of them, but I know I've given a few as well, so you could call me a well-balanced person: I have a chip on BOTH shoulders ;). I love life, and I hate drama if its not the stage/screen kind. It's my belief that people do NOT always get what they deserve (be it reward OR punishment), and real often true talent, grace, and brilliance fly beneath the radar of fame and success. I like campfires, the Appalachian Mountains, Thunderstorms and lightning, the lonesome sound of a train in the distance, trains in general - I'd love to ride one across the country - the big city at night - the way neon lights can make the most dismal town look like a carnival, motel rooms, Hank Williams Sr. music, good live music at a bar with some history behind it and some cool ambiance, hearing applause at a movie theater, I like owls, wolves, and other nocturnal creatures to which I am kin, the smell of cedar, custom-built motorcycles (no I don't have one)and vintage guitars and amps. As Ray Wylie Hubbard so aptly put it, "Some things down here under Heaven, are just cooler'n Hell". Most of the time life is a forest of greedy hands thrust at me demanding stupid amounts of money as toll for travel down this road we're all on, so I pay it because, in spite of everything, it seems worth it. If I have the privilege of "death-bed" remarks, they will be: "Damn, what a ride!!!", my tombstone should read: "I knew if I hung around long enough, something like this would happen", and then I'll get off, go to the back of the line, and wait to ride this son-of-a-bitch again. A successful life, to me, would be to master the art of fearlessness.
