The same way of saying the same thing

About Me

Somedays I forget to eat. Somedays all I want to do is ride my bike along the beach until beach turns to cliffs and cliffs become woods. Then I'd take a rest in the woods. I've killed many plants (by accident I swear). Spiders I kill intentionally, and I worry that that makes me a bad person. I will, however, give you a ride just about anywhere if your car breaks down. Ice-T once called me a "Crazy Motherfu**er," but he's quick to pass judgement in an OG way. I'm squeamish about Nutrasweet, Splenda, and Sweet & Low, yet show an ignorant disregard for things like Sodium Benzoate, Pyridoxine Hydrochoride, and Elutherococcus Senticosus. Not a big fan of Swiss Cheese, Salmon, Faux-Vintage, or sleep. I'm a sucker for returning to the scene of the crime. I have a strict No-High-Five Policy. Sometimes I wish my name was Amos. I like laughing in bed.

My Interests

Birds, Charming Waitstaff, Tasteful Solos, Pedal Steel, Well Stocked Libraries, Trains, Warm Water, Cold Seafood, New Books, Soft Lighting, Soft T-Shirts, and Key Lime Pie.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who wouldn't be afraid to kick Charleton Heston in the junk. Or perhaps people who like to pose for pictures with their souped-up Hondas. I've never known one of those people. Oh, and consistency goes a long long way."Style is important. Many people scream the truth, but without style it means nothing." - Bukowski
