WOULD YOU RELAX YOUR FREAKING ME OUT!!!! oh wait, im doing that..... never mind, you may resume your

About Me

Sometimes im serious and vigilant and other times I could care less, somewhere in the middle of that is where im headed and the journey has been amazing. I dig working with my hands and creating things of beauty, I wouldn’t say im an artist (what ever that means) but I like to figure out how things fit together, to solve the puzzle, to see what works and what doesn’t and what suits me. My Heart lies in the wilderness, reading, art, science, movies, music, eastern philosophies, building and restoring my home, hanging out with friends and making new ones.

My Interests

the mind, Writing, Wood working, ice and alpine climbing, Mountains, solitude, going against the grain just to see what comes up, Reading, Meditation, building restorations, Photography, back packing, cycling, science, philosophies in general but mostly Tibetan Buddhism, change, and reality. See more Hayden Panettiere videos at Funny or Die

I'd like to meet:

His Holiness the Dalia Lama, Albert Einstein, Jimmy Hendrix, George Bush so i could ask him to pull his head out of his ass, the guy who made Toblerone Chocolate so i could thank him, Mr Rodgers, Gandolf the Grey, God, Pete Seeger, Dr Martin Luther King,the tank man from Tienanmen Square uprising, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, folks with an open yet decisive mind, who can think for themselves, who take responsibility, who have a spiritual sense and a compassionate heart, folks who laugh at themselves, who are considerate and politely honest and women with great legs that can hold a job and have a spiritual practice. being a sugar daddy doesn't fit me, don't bother contacting me if you cant define between life and life style. also someone that can help me spell cause i suck at it. any long lost friends that don't have a my space account but what to get a hold of me can zing me an email at [email protected].

Television:

Books:

I know it says books, but authors is quicker, anything from his Holiness, Isaac Asimov's Chronology of science and discovery, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, the Prophet, Thomas Merton, Walt Whitman favorite book, "the souls code" in search of character and calling, by James Hillman

Heroes:

My Daughter, she defines a self made women. im proud of you squirt. and anyone that has been to hell and back, refuses to play the victim, has figured it out, can laugh about it, say they are genuinely happy, and freely give help to others that genuinely want help and not just attention. just not enough of those folks around.
