About Me

I have no expectations, thus I'm rarely disappointed. I like the way I smell when I've been welding for three days and haven't had the luxury of a shower. And you should too. I'm often confounded by people who refuse to live up to their full potential, in favor of being lazy and unhappy. I want to do a great many things, I have no self imposed limits to my ability for success, and I'm just getting started. Joy is my motivating factor, thus guilt-slingers can find what they're looking for elsewhere. I'm a fan of tough love, so if I scold you for not being the best you can be, it means I care. If I didn't care, I wouldn't care. I'm starting to think about the possibility that my body can make little humans and I'm kinda' done messing around. My genes are too good to go to waste. My kids will be forces of nature, don't ever doubt it. I'm in the process of starting my own metal arts business, though this is just the first step in a grand succession of ideas I will manifest onto this earth. And it will be beautiful.Also, I feel you should know that when I'm PMSing, everything I've written above is null and void. When I'm PMSing, I'm an insecure whiney pussy, I get mad and want to hit things with a sledge hammer, and I need chocolate. Let me repeat: I NEED CHOCOLATE. Not just a little bit. And fast cars. To drive around the hill country.So when I'm PMSing, here's what you do: Call me, and announce that you'll be bringing me chocolate and coffee. Don't ask if I want chocolate and coffee, because I'm insecure I'll tell you not to bother because I don't want you to go out of your way. Just bring it. So, after that you have one of two choices: Breaking furniture with a sledgehammer or fast driving through the hill country. Either one serves the same purpose, but I've never done both in the same day. I'd like to try that...


My Interests

Welding, hitting things with a hammer, manifesting beauty, rummaging through the rubble of my brain to find all the pieces of my broken heart, making art, drinking way too much coffee, updating my interests at 5:20am when I have to be at work at 8am, being craftier than the average bear, the theory behind quality control, yelling at boys for being stupid and bratty, taking it one step at a time, calling people on their bullshit thus making it easier for them to get the hell over it, kicking people in the shins for calling me on my bullshit because it's a defense mechanism and I want to keep it no matter how unhealthy it is.Oh, and I also like to play games, like phone tag, and "No, I love you more", and "wow, you are so gay..."

I'd like to meet:

Women and men of astonishing abilities and talents and surprising intelligence who like to play Billiards and arm wrestle. Caffeine addiction is imperative. As well as reverence for everything beautiful, without the jealousy or envy. Honesty is key, because without being able to know and love yourself for all your faults, loving others in the same way is an impossibility. Extraordinary circumstances lead to a lifetime of growth. Watching TV is not extraordinary.I'm also looking for minions and lackeys for my Not So Evil Army.Thank you, that is all.

Music:

If my life had a soundtrack..... The Calender Hung Itself -Bright Eyes. I Don't Love Anyone -Belle & Sebastian. Lollipop -CornMo. This Magic Moment -Lou Reed. Italian Leather Sofa -Cake...

Movies:

Star Wars. Evil Dead. Girl on a Bridge. And other such movies...

Television:

Futurama. Firefly.I hate TV. And only watch TV stuff on DVD.

Books:

Here's my favorite quote from On The Road, by Jack Kerouac: "--and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles, exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center-light pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

Heroes:

My dad

This is a very raw post. If it makes you uncomfortable, then don't read it. I have walls. I have walls up to my own feelings. I don't like to care too much, I feel like it's only ever gotten me in tro...

Read my Past today, realized that I’ve grown, but am still rehashing the same old stuff...

I've grown in terms of how I see the world, I'm not as angry, I don't let people hurt me anymore, I've put up these big brick walls in my heart and soul that no one can climb over or break through unl...

Angry Rant About Whats Wrong With The Men (and women) In Austin:

Since my last break up a few months ago, I've been a bit lonely. I don't want to jump into anything with anyone though, and I'm beginning to think that women in Austin don't know how to raise their bo...
