Tim Baxley - Work in Progress

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hello...my name is Tim & I am an alcoholic.
I have recently undergone a drastic change of my habits, lifestyle & behavior because I had gotten completely out of control & felt that I had no other choice but to do so...
I am a Scorpio with a bad moon rising.
I like to make things and to make things better.
I am not necessarily an Artist per se, I am more of an Artistic Editor.
Sometimes I'm the Director.
If I had a bigger budget, I'd probably be the Producer.
I am a


I walk, talk, think & drive a little too fast.
I ignore the fact that I am dying, so that I may live.
I'd rather not do something, than do something "half assed".
I prefer function over form, but I don't mind if something works & is aesthetically pleasing as well...that is a bonus!
I am certainly not a perfect man, but I try to be the best that I can be at any given time. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail.
At least I continue to try. I stumble. I fall. I get back up & try again.
I would prefer to be judged by all of my actions.
Preferably the good that I have done & that I am currently doing in the present, not by the few bad things that I have done in the past.
A lot of people have said that they love me.
I feel that most of them have no idea who I am or are lying because they want something from me. I can forgive that & have quite a bit recently.
There seems to be a large number of people lately who either say that they "hate" me or that they think that I am a bad person.
I honestly cannot concern myself with their opinions because I have no control over their perceptions of me & I know "me" better than they do.
I am trying to do the right thing & right the wrongs of my past.
I know in my heart that I am a good person & that I will redeem myself.
I have a job to do & whether you love me or hate me, I will get it done.
To the few who do truly love me, you are worth your weight in gold to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your love, support & kind words have helped me to begin to heal & get through a very difficult time in my life. I love each & every one of you!
I have trust issues, but I am working on that.
I live to inspire and to be inspired.
I am never prepared, but I am always ready.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think that I know everything...just a few things in the infinite universe of knowledge that is to be acquired.
I am always willing to learn something new if you are willing to teach me.
You may feed off of me, but I cannot allow you to prey on me.
I like to watch things happen, but I prefer to make things happen.
I am always late, but worth the wait.
If you incessantly babble at me without ever listening to me...
I will generally ignore you.
If you are full of shit, a bullshitter or a liar...
I will generally ignore you.
I believe that all conversation should be 1 or more of the following:
1. Interesting
2. Informative
3. Humorous
4. Relevant
Though I do realize that these terms of description are subjective to personal opinion, it will be my opinion that counts if you are trying to communicate with me.
That being said....
If you post chain bulletins or surveys, I will probably delete you.
Nothing personal.
If you don't like what I have to say...
You may feel free to ignore me, but you will not shut me up.
If you don't like what I am doing, then I suggest that you look away.
I am an instrument of construction & a force for "good".
You may slow me down, but I will not be stopped.
I enjoy entertaining people & just generally giving others pleasure.
I don't really like "math", but I can be cold and calculating...
I can be "Your best friend" or "Your worst enemy". Take your pick.
Don't be too hard on me though...
After all....I am just a man
"A work in progress"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Understanding people
People that don't want to kick my ass
