Bob Killed Amanda Palmer

Reach For The Sky Because Tomorrow May Never Come!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

Shy, quiet, wise to some extent, a dreamer, a lover, a poolplayer, a man of "mystery", and that about sums it up. I'm really laidback and easy-going.
You Are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
You take the title "mad scientist" to the extreme -with very scary things coming out of your lab.
And you've invented some pretty cool things, from a banana sharpener to a robot politician.
But while you're busy turning gold into cottage cheese, you need to watch out for poor little Beaker!

My Interests

I like cats, Elvis, shooting pool,watching pool on t.v., the colors black, green, blue and purple, warm rainy days in the summer, vocabulary, gin and tonics with a twist of lime, Crown Royal whiskey on the rocks, Rumpleminz on the rocks, bicycling, running, fishing, canoeing, hiking in the woods, hiking in the mountains, being near the ocean or in it, watching the sunset/rise, watching the night sky for shooting stars, the sound of water as it moves over/past objects. I guess you could say I look at life from a romantic perspective, though romance and relationships with women have never been my forte.
