About Me

I'm a good guy with edge...that's got me pretty good I think. I'm chivalrous and respectful but will smack your silly ass if you step on my sneakers. There is no guessing with me, what you see is what you get. I'm a pretty traditional guy but love this new shit what with all them micro chips and nano-wafers...they taste pretty good. I am the last of a dying breed of mammals sometimes reffered to as gentleman.
I'll open the door so your hands don't have to, I'll give you my pea coat if you're cold, and I'll fetch your medicine if you're sick. I am a realist, dreamer, and adventurer. I love to cook, eat, build things with these two hands I have, read, and pose new ideas. I'll make you laugh by surprising you with absurdities. I love to show affection, drink coffee, and explore the outdoors. I love to grow things, including sea monkees. I've lived in Johnson City, TN for about two years but a farm in a small town called Cottontown is my home. I enjoy cultural anthrolopology especially rural Appalachia and Mesoamerica.
I've seen hair raising spine tingling stomach churning uplifting things that most of you haven't so that makes me qualified in the art of experience but I'll still listen to every word you say. I don't get cozy with people who are uptight or to self-absorbed. I relish the fact that my moral fabric is still intact despite having rubbed shoulders with the most powerful crime family in Moscow.
I have no problem being around the worst of what the world has to offer, it reminds me of how good I've really got it. There's so much that causes me to stop look and listen and I love to never stop learning. I spend a lot of time and money on cooking and dining out; there's nothing better bellying up to a fine meal. I'm frugal but never cheap. I have one brother, 27, who is a kick ass dude.
He's also one of the most talented and creative musicians I know.
There is no substitute for trust, fidelity, and commitment. I'm a protector, a provider, and supporter.
My optimism outweighs my intelligence sometimes, but I always try again. I am usually content but never satisfied.
The uneducated man blames others; The partly-educated man blames himself; The educated man blames no one." -Epictetus
No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office. --George Bernard Shaw

If a man wants you... (My response to this blog from someone elses page)

(If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition to save you from your heartache....

Humility...she's beautiful

When something attacks your emotions and rips at your self worth, you really find out who you are, or at least who you don't want to be. Introspection is a good thing. Humility is it'...
