About Me

I love this commercial so much. It is the best REALITY commercial ever

I must say that usually I ramble on when filling these things out, but I will try and be direct and to the point. I am a nice guy that is fairly intelligent (did I spell that correctly ?). I am honest and I love to learn about new things. It is a shame there are just to many things to learn, but I try. My head might explode one day.
I love making, viewing, and collecting art. I also collect watches, unusual antiques, native stuffs, and vintage stock photographs. I do sell the rights to bands, publishers, movies, museums or whom ever to use my photos. I will be putting some on one of these days as a sample.
I also love the outdoors hiking camping, not a big fisherman happy just to watch others doing it. I love concerts of just about any music, fun just to watch the people and if the music is good then thats cool. I love to have fun and be with people most of the time but it is nice to just be by yourself once in a while to just get away. Being with peoples is much more fun :). When I drink it is usually Corona or some type of none mainstream foreign beer, but you cannot forget the vodka drinks or the tequilla shots. when I go out which is only a couple times a weeks.
I buy and sell art and antiques for a living so I am usually at an auction, estate sale, or flea markets during the day. I am also a starving artist. I now know what that exactly means now. I have been trying to sell my own art since Oct of 2004 at 317 Market St in Rockford. I have sold a few pieces here and there but not even close to paying for even the beers I drink in a month :) and I don't drink that much. NOw I have moved the operation to my new location 724 South 6th Street in Rockford, IL. This willone day be the art center of Rockford but it wil happen slowly. I would like to have a major showing put together by April 2009 of local talent. I will keep you all posted. If interested let me know. For the time being I actually make my living selling antiques, old art, and jewelry.
I love to cook and bake and if I must say so pretty well. If you live or work downtown you might see me walking my doggie at all hours of the day and night.
The flea markerts that I sell and buy are usually in the midwest. They consist mainly of Kane Co in St Charles, IL, Lake Co. in Grays Lake, IL, Sandwich, IL, and once in a while Wheaton, IL unfortunately I havent felt like doing any for the last few months. So I fall back to the money grubbing WHORES that are Ebay.
I don't do drugs or smoke (being in bars is bad enough), but I drink a few now and then. I try not to drink to excess, but it happens once in a while. I have gotten to the point of actually loving to dance without being drunk. It just takes someone to ask me. I have been persuaded to hit the floor with the right person if they ask nicely and I dont even have to be drunk. I can be ready in minutes for that road trip or breakfast at 3 am. I am sure I have left out a wide part of my life and probably put in somethings that no one cares about.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

For friends love and happiness I must say that I would like to meet someone(s) that is smart, funny, honest, attractive, artsy, and loves to do some at least a few of things I like. I am always open for new things with friends so feel free to contact.
For someone interesting to chat with I would have to say
PABLO PICASSO just to see what made him tick.

ADOLF HITLER just to ask why his life took a very different turn from his early years as an artist. Bet you didn’t know that. NO I am not a Hitler fanatic or fan of his actions, but his art is something new to most and worthy of exploration.
OOOPPPS how did that other guy get there. SORRY ADOLF I know its insulting to you !!

THEODORE “TEDDY” ROOSEVELT was so tough he once gave a speech while still bleeding from a gun shot. I am sure he was not the first, but many claim he had ADHD. Good thing they didn’t know what that was or have meds for that back then.
.
ELVIS PRESLEY Just because he had a great lifestyle and I like his choice of sandwiches peanut butter and banana is great without the fried eggs and bacon. Gee I think that is what killed Elvis.

RICHARD BRANSON My rich uncle in England you may know him as world adventurer and owner or VIRGIN everything.
YES this is a made up photo or else I couldn’t say I would like to meet because I’d have already met him.
I have already meet a famous artist Leonardo Neirman
He did this sculpture that now sits along the east side of the Rock River just North of Auburn St.
