About Me


Cool Image Comments You either get me, or you don't. That kind of sums me up pretty clearly. I'd say most people don't...it's their loss, as far as I'm concerned. Out of those who "get me"...some do right away and some put in the effort to get to know me. I've been told I'm not that easy to really get to know, but the journey is well worth it. I kind of look at life as a grand experiment...basically I am an entity that has found myself on a particular planet with a particular physical incarnation, along with my fellow travellers, who, for good or bad are all basically in the same boat...trying to make our way, trying to do the best we can with this "life." This way I kind of don't see myself as an age, a race, a gender, an income bracket, etc.....all those inconsequential things that are supposed to define who we are and what our value is supposed to be. Also, it helps me to cope with the feeling I often have that I'm just visiting this planet and the scary, mostly-hairless bipeds that seem to dominate it. Well, dammit, I say...whatever the Hell I may be, whatever I may show...I am me, and I think I'm OK. And if YOU think I'm OK, then, all the better. It's all good. If you chance to meet me you will encounter a person who will give you respect and a smile if you need one. I don't take myself too seriously, and I won't allow you to do so, either (take whichever interpretation of that you may like). I'm not a big fan of anger or meanness. Actually, scratch that...I'm a HUGE fan of anger and meanness...but only if it's funny. Alot of life is tragic and painful and I say : sometimes you just gotta laugh at the absurdity of it all. I like telling bad jokes. I love to laugh at my own expense. I like to make other people feel good about who they are because it makes me feel good about being here. I have immense love for all animals whether they have fur, fins, feathers, scales or even skin. I am German-Irish and was raised in a very strict Catholic family (explains alot, doesn't it?). Despite this, I am not particularly "religious;" however, I forgive people their trespasses, turn the other cheek, and try to never throw stones. My rising sign is Leo so what I may appear at first to be is cavalier or bombastic. This is not at all true, really....I'm a pussycat until you piss me off but it takes a Hell of a lot to do so. My Sun sign is Pisces with a Cancer Moon...quite empathic and I like being around good energy. I am very sensitive to the energies and emotions of others so I try to keep people happy, when I can...mostly I leave them alone. "Live and Let Live" is my motto, not just because I believe it but because I am extremely shy; however, if you ask for my opinion please be prepared for the truth or please don't ask. I am a realist to the core but my head is usually in the clouds anyway. I like debate and people intrigue me but they wear me out. I think life inherently probably sucks but it still is an adventure. I don't believe in "growing up" completely (at least, I strongly advise against it) and I don't think that I could ever get along with an adult who hates cartoons. I am loyal to a fault to family and friends. I do not choose to have many close friends but treasure those that I do. Meeting a soul mate or a true kindred spirit is a grand experience for me. I hope to always be learning, changing, adapting. I hope my inner light never gets dampened by the waters of doubt. I take this journey one day at at a time....and if by chance we meet I will be happy to walk a while with you (especially if there's a bar around the corner and it's happy hour -- and it always is SOMEWHERE, ain't it?)

My Interests

Music, singing, writing, theatre arts, photography, erotica (esp B & D) history & culture, travelling, playing trivia or word games, science fiction, the internet, robots and other geek stuff,hanging out with people interested in lively debate and intelligent conversation (or even unintelligent conversation...I can handle that, too), working out, doing things outdoors, animals, playing sports that I'm coordinated enough to play, watching sports that I'm not-- Particularly watching football (the sport of which I am a slightly obsessive fan).

MySpacePhotos.com

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who aren't fucking snobs. Uncool people who are snobs but will amuse me with their antics. Maybe a songwriting partner--someone who is into music (who isn't a fucking snob). Perhaps a sadomasochistic master slave duplicity type old fashioned guy or gal. Freaks,geeks and other lively characters.

Music:

Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, Jazz and Big Band Jazz, Blues. 70's funk & 80's rock & pop (yeah even the really gay stuff). Faves: Yes, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Metallica, Prince, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, Zappa, Melissa Etheridge, Sade, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Dave Matthews... Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, Biggie Smalls, Dr. Dre, Pharcyde...

Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Etta James, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Howlin' Wolf, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius. Some classical...Mozart, Vivaldi, Wagner. Some Country... Vince Gill, Patsy Kline, Willie. And I love Weird Al Yankovic...though he's more of a comedian, I guess.

Movies:

"The Godfather" Trilogy--possibly the best movies ever made. "Scarface," "Insomnia" "Dog Day Afternoon..." Okay, pretty much ANYTHING with Al Pacino in it, particularly "Sea of Love," which isn't his best movie but you do get to see his ass for a few seconds. I love to watch the films of early comedy geniuses like Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy and classics like "Casablanca" or "Citizen Kane". Movies made in the 30's through 50's...Hollywood's "golden era," especially Hitchcock. I also love Sci Fi movies like "Total Recall" and "Artificial Intelligence", and "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" -I freaking LOVE robots...don't know why, I just DO. And I love those Japanese Godzilla and Mothra movies of course....I grew up on those. I also love GOOD comedies like "The Blues Brothers," "M*A*S*H", "Easy Money" and "U.H.F."; scary and intelligent movies about ghosts like "The 6th Sense" and "The Others", Civil War movies like "Glory" and of course "Gone With the Wind," which is about the Civil War and also a classic. I like a love story if it's a real good one, like "The English Patient" or "Harold and Maude."

Television:

"M*A*S*H" and "Cheers" were great shows back in the day. I love "Law and Order" I also love the History Channel. Mostly though I watch news or documentaries,like those shows that follow real life murder investigations like "Cold Case Files," "Forensic Files," and "The First 48," I am fascinated with them. Comedies? Only the truly goofy ones: "The Three Stooges (also because of its historical value)," "Married, With Children," "Two and 1/2 Men" I love that new show "The Big Bang Theory" about the nerds cause nerds get me HOT.... And of course well, CARTOONS --"South Park," "Looney Tunes," "The Simpsons," "Family Guy" and "Spongebob Squarepants" amongst my faves. Reality TV mostly SUCKS, people --wake up. I will tell you right now it will be a cold day in Hell before I watch American Idol (karaoke with a budget) or any such crap. I like Judge Judy, though, even though she's a bitch --maybe because she's a bitch -- I don't know. I also think "America's Funniest Home Videos" is still probably the best "reality" show ever produced. And, sports of course, above all FOOTBALL (American football) though I'd rather see sports live when I can.

Of the classics: Black Beauty, Crime and Punishment, Jane Eyre, The Fall of the House of Usher. Of the more modern era, some of my favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Frank Herbert, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac and Ann Rule (true crime author). I love books on astrology, Karma, and paranormal events like ghosts. I love reference books like encyclopedias and do-it-yourself crap and I also love atlases cause I love to look at maps (again, I don't know why, I just do)

"HAPPINESS BEFORE SOUP"
