this doesn't look like the cracker isle

About Me

sorta soft spoken and generally of a laid back attitude. i am the only hearing person in my immediate family and by contract i have to listen to enough music for a family of four every single day. i am allergic to drama so keep it outta my face. i pedal on city streets and in real estate markets. my heart beats to explore - body, mind, and the world. i buy more books than i read. i don't watch tv, but my netflix queue is maxed out at 500. i'm a sucker for acoustic, piano, and redheads. (too bad tori is taken) i am hoping to meet my muse someday soon. in the meantime, i am living and learning. i did! i did! i did meet my muse, the person who makes life worth living for, and the most amazing woman on the earth. :D

My Interests

i love music, almost all of it and yes even some country. i like very broad aspects of culture. i like getting outside on a sunny day and doing something different. i like sleeping in when it's raining. i love my cat, biking around town, watching movies, playing cards with friends, snow skiing, writing my thoughts, traveling, sailing, scuba diving, camping, indie music, shows... i sleep to dream. i love lightning. i think blown glass is cool and want to try doing it. i have a thing for water, as in being on it or near it. under it is pretty cool too. i am a thrill seaking junkie with an urge to die trying. in other words, determine my boundries through exploration. nothing too crazy that would deprive me of my day job, but enough to see inside myself and pretend that i am fearless.

I'd like to meet:
