About Me

Noli nothis permittere te terere. (Dont let the bastards grind you down) ************************************************************ ***I am extremely innovative. I love figuring things out, inventing creative solutions for problems people dont even know exist. I turned 30 last year and im loving it. I have passion for things like i never did before. Finally learning what my 'things' are exactly. All of life's lessons are becoming clearer. I am so happy to be where I am in life, to have the friends I have, to be the person I am. I am so f%*k&ng blessed! I am only beginning to realize my true potential....“approval neither desired nor required.” Dr. Bird is my hero!!! ..a warrior never turns their back on the battlefield..

My Interests

I love classic cars, thunderbirds, running, gym, earthmovers/backhoes, chip foose, , football (niners), whiskey, bottled water, interesting people, singing, karoke, Red Bull!!!, CANDY, sunny weather, reading, meeting people.

I'd like to meet:

this is doctor roger grossman swearce. look at his lips!!I would like to meet the person that invented Redbull so i can dry hump their leg. Ummm seriously, I don't know. I'm pretty open, I don't have a type. I think i do, but am constantly proved wrong. Intelligence is attractive to me. Someone who stands up to me and doesn't take my shit is also attractive. Someone who is not easily offended, super conservative, or ultra religious. Those are turn offs....as are gold chain necklaces, man sandals ('mandals'), cell phone on belt, tucked-in shirts in general....
