the world came crashing

About Me

So, I'm not sure what to put here anymore. I'm the kind of guy that believes in simplicity and a state of calm. I try to live meditatively, not always successfully. Drama isn't my cup of tea, but it seems to follow me around. I'm a fan of long walks with no destination. I'm a country boy who loves the city. Seattle is my favorite city on the west side and New York is my favorite on the east side. I've been around, and seen some things that most people wouldn't understand. I'm happy-go-lucky, no matter what's happening, and I love a good laugh. I'm married to the most amazing woman in the world, she's a princess. I'm always trying to be a respectful human being, but if a line is crossed I'm also a bitter old man at heart. I'm not one for holding a grudge, but I don't believe in being sorry for doing what I see as right, no matter who thinks I owe them an apology. If someone is offended by something I do, they owe themself an apology for being so uptight that they'd believe I did it to them. I hardly ever intend to cause offence. I have a strong sense of morality, but many people disagree with my morals. I live by the saying my father always said, "it's all good."

My Interests

I'm just interested...

I'd like to meet:

I don't know who I want to meet, I want some close friends to talk to. Other than that I think I'm just happy to meet whoever.

Music:

I like music that you can groove to, sit to, sleep to, eat to, drink to, play to and live by.

Movies:

I like films that make you think, laugh, cry, and feel alive.

Television:

TV is the root of all evil.
KILL YOUR TV!!!

Books:

I'll read about a shit field if it's written properly.

Heroes:

My mother, beacuse she is a survivor not a victim.
My father, for living his life, and dying his death, with honor and meaning.
My wife, becasue she does what she feels is right, no matter what others might think or feel. She's strong willed and stands up for herself. and
You, because you too wake up every day and decide to get out of bed look outside, and see a world that's not here to help you, and you still go out into it with your eyes open ready for a new adventure.
