About Me

"I want to be more like the ocean. No talking... all action." -Jane's Addiction

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

J.A.M. -Some of the folks listed below as my "Heroes" are still alive and I'd like to meet them as well as any open-minded, thoughtful people, but I do have limits. Girls with belly button piercings and lower back tattoos & guys with big 4x4's who never actually go off-road need not apply...When I meet new people, I tend to be far more concerned with where you're going than from whence you came. If you live by your own internal ethics, as opposed to the carbon copy cutouts of people who live their lives based on other entity's morals, welcome to Ziggy's Parlour!
