Pro wrestling, tanning, hitting the gym. Creating a space for accurate self-assessment of others and assisting in that process. Sweat lodges/sweating in general. Arnold Palmer, the beverage more than the golfer. Hatha Yoga. Transcendental experiences and writing. The fiction piece in the New Yorker. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Gas station coffee. Indian culture. The Chicago Cubs. It'll happen before I die. Sushi. Classical guitar and learning 'Classical Gas' at the rate of 2 measures per year. I am also an ordained minister in the Church of Universal Life, so I can take care of your marriage, baptism, or any other gimmick you've got to work out with the big guy. For a reasonable fee.
The wrestling fanscape is thick with disgustos and morons. If you fall into either category, you probably won't be hearing from me.
