I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm mostly a jackass that behaves seriously some of the time, but I'd much rather not be serious whenever possible. Laughing and smiling are high on my to-do list. I've got a dog, Huggie Bear Maximus, King of All Rawhide and a cat, Lebowski. Either of them can tell you all of my secrets ;-) Or, you can just ask me, I'm pretty easy to talk to. :) What's that? You're shy? Okay, here's more about me without asking....

My Interests


My friends, family and pets are the most important things in my life, I love them all to pieces!

Live music of all types, kayaking, pub nights out, taking my dog everywhere, photography, pretending I'm good at playing my violin, European travel, walking in NYC on sunny days, watching comedy DVDs on rainy days, meeting friends for coffee, being outside, breathing fresh air, sitting by the fireplace reading, believing in the good of people, trying to figure out how to work fate to my advantage and taking scenic drives just to get lost.

I'd like to meet:

People who understand that "the future is no place to place your better days" and that "every day should be a good day to die."

A guru would be nice too. Maybe a guru of, say, truth and adventure. Guru, anywhere? Guru? Hello?

Ultimately, I'd like to find a Jeep driving, jam band loving, flip flop wearing, Guinness drinking superhero who will protect me like my dad, goof off with me like my brother and love me like my dog. That would really make my day complete.

Oh, and I'd really like to squeeze the living daylights out of Boyd Tinsley! Here's a pic I snapped of him at The Gorge on 2-Sep-07! :D

Music:


Yes, please. More, please. Live, please. :) I especially like LOTS of bass, the odd violin, harmonicas and bagpipes. ;)

Here are a few vids from my FAVORITE unsigned band, Seven Acres! Do what the smart man wrote on the board and buy their cd!!!! :D
