Better to die free than live as sheep.

About Me

DISCLAIMER: You cannot possibly fathom how much I DO NOT CARE what you think of my appearance, my tattoos, my personality, my friends, or my lifestyle. If the best thing you can come up with is some corny pick-up line, or some vain attempt at insulting me, don't even waste my time.
Thanks,
- The Management
If you have ever been called defiant, incorrigible, forward, cunning, insurgent, unruly, or rebellious, you're on the right track. If you have never been called these things, there is yet time.
General Info:
Over the years I've been called "independent", "willful", a "free spirit", and "Satan". My nickname as an infant was "Barracuda". I encourage you to form your own opinion, but basically, you could say I'm a bit of a handful.
I am particular about my people and I'm not easy to know. If I can't trust you, depend on you and see that you're doing something with your life, then I probably won't let you get very close to me. On the bright side, I've got a great sense of humor, I love kids and animals, I'm intelligent and caring and I'm a great listener. All in all, I'd say the good outweighs the effort it may take to get to know me. (And really, I think my requirements aren't "effort" to those people *worth* getting to know. They ought to be common practice!)
I enjoy unusual people and places. I have a habit of finding myself in the midst of all kinds of excitement. I have a wide variety of friends who have equally diverse lifestyles and I love and appreciate them all.
I'm an artist. I draw and paint. I love going to art shows, gallery openings, the theatre and live musics. Creativity is a huge part of who I am and I value that same quality in others. I find great inspiration in the artistic endeavors of my friends and I am drawn to those types of people.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming: "Goddamn! That was fun!!"
