Quando due cuori generano un amore, la felicità comincia.

About Me


As the dust settles on that long road each of us walk, I would like to think the journey was worth it. I'm just one of those many people that try to make their way and find some degree of happiness as I travel. Perchance that happiness will last for a time, but Destiny and Fate have the ultimate control.
Hi there one and all. Welcome to my world. If you don't know who I am, then please allow me to introduce myself, for I am a man of wealth and taste. (JK!)
My name is Patrick. I am of Irish/Swedish descent. I am many things to many people. And I have many things I do throughout my days alloted to me...
Amongst the things I do, one of the most joyous is my job as Head Show Technician (roadie...LOL) for an AWESOME country/rock band called 60 Inch Slick. It's top fueled country with a rock attitude. If you haven't heard us yet, you will. We will be on your radio and in your faces soon enough!
What you are looking at is a guy who is mostly laid back. I like to have happy people around me, but if I don't have them I try to make them happy. I have a few gifts that the Lord gave to me for which I am grateful. Among these are my gift at writing. Words flow forth from my mind like a stream of silver in the Summer. He has given me a kind heart, and a sense of what is right. I'm not sure if He gave me some of my other gifts, but they are what make me who I am. I'm quick with the wit, sometimes flirtacious to a fault, and have a smile that makes you beg to wonder what I'm thinking. I am filled with light and I am filled with darkness. It's that balance that is what I am.
I have been called many things and have gone by many names, some of which are IcePirate, Wordsmith, Poet, Road Prophet, Icey, Captain Jack, and now Dusty.
One thing I am truly greatful for is the blessing I was bestowed by having a son who is growing up just like me. He hasn't developed a dark side yet, which is way cool. He is in 10th grade though, so I know it's only a matter of time...LOL
But enough of that, I will add more later as my mood takes me, so be prepared to be shocked and amazed. You may shake your head as you make your way to the egress, but I know you will remember and you will smile. It's all good.

My Interests


I like my music for starters. I dig all kinds. My first two loves though are 80's Big Hair rock and Country music. I like to read when I get the time (which is not too often), but one thing I like the most...is to write. I can set my mind free when I turn within and compose a poem, a song, a story, anything that comes to mind. I pour myself into what I write. My soul is what is shown in the page when I am done. People of like minds and, more importantly, open minds are what I am drawn to. I would have a true friend if that person were to be able to finish my sentence before I was done.

To find a person who shares my thoughts and feelings, who shares both the light and the dark that resides within me, who has that same twisted humor that makes the eyes sparkle, who can throw friendly jibes back and forth like a game, and who can tell me all their hopes and fears because they know I can do the same....that is where my road leads me. The search for the soulmate...the other half of me.

I'd like to meet:

I have met many people in my life, and I know there are still more down the road a ways. Of the people I have met, I am thankful for each and every one. Yes, even those who have caused me pain. That is how wisdom is learned. Those who have given me happiness I hold dear though some I may never see again. The people I would like to meet....

Well, Johnny Depp for one. And Rascal Flatts. You know, I was never really star struck growing up. The person down the street, or across the country is just as important to meet for me as it would be a famous actor or musician. As long as I have friends that are real, I am good to go.

Amongst the friends I have made, the ones I value the most know they have formed a bond that will never be broken. Whether they be a "Brother", a "Sister", or a "Dark Angel", it is the strength of the connection that can communicate yet without ever having to say a word. ;)

That phrase at the top of my page is Italian by the way. You'll have to read my whole page to get the translation-heheh.

This is WAY cool below!! Just touch the cursor onto the image and click your left mouse button and hold. Awesome!!

Your Love Element Is Fire
In love, you are a true listener and totally present.
For you, love is all about feeling more alive than you've ever felt.

You attract others with your joy and passion.
Your flirting style is defined by your strong ability to communicate.

Fun and play are the cornerstones of your love life.
And while your flame may burn too brightly, it's part of your appeal.

You connect best with: Wood

Avoid: Water

You and another Fire element: will likely burn out quickly What Element Is Your Love?

Music:


Okay, I hit on the music above some. As far as rock goes, it's ALL good. Oh yeah, and country, southern rock, old school rap, weird pirate music, classical....I like it all. If I were to pick a country song to describe me, it would be "Bless The Broken road" by Rascal Flatts. If it were a rock/rap song it would be "Only God Knows Why" by Kid Rock. If it were a 80's rock, well...the jury's till out on that one, cos there's just so many.

Movies:


Oh wow, movies rock. Action, adventure, horror, gore, fantasy, comedy, a chick flick or two...maybe even an adult movie for kicks. Movies are a passion. There are very few I don't care for.

Television:


I am usually too busy for TV. The only time I really spend in front of it is when I fire up my Playstation 2 or watching a video.

Books:


I like Sci-fi/Fantsy stories. I am a dreamer at heart. But that's a good thing because it feeds my creativity when I write.

Heroes:


My heroes are few, but very important. My Dad, who is my rock. My Mom who is my heart. Our Savior who is my conscience (most of the time). My close friends who are like the air I breathe. The heroes that are my friends - Danny, Chey, and Sherbear. In the words of Stephen King: Kef, Ka, and Ka-tet. (It's a karma thing)

Translation:"When two hearts generate a love, the happiness begins."

Unspoken Words

As with all things, writing is an extension of one's self. With this extension, I call out to what my Muse instills in me. I capture it and catalog it. I lay it out for me to see. Now I give the gift ...
