Crude, but Effective

There's treachery afoot!

About Me

I'm redneck enough to like barbecuing, muscle cars, rock 'n' roll, and guns, but I'm hippy enough to like Hendrix, peace, revitalizing the environment, and protesting the government. I'm caring enough to be there when you need it, but enough of a cock to run you into the ditch for cutting me off. I'm motivated. I love my life (96% of the time). I'm enough of a nerd to spend entire afternoons on the computer, but enough of an outdoorsman to need to get back to nature at regular intervals. I'm black enough to like various examples of rap and hip-hop, but white enough to spend most of my time with rock. I hate emos. Seriously, stop crying. I love Otter Pops. I love rain. I love driving. I love night. I especially love driving in the rain at night. I don't understand why everyone hates Spokane. There are worse cities to live in. I'm patriotic enough to be the first one to grab a gun if America were to get invaded, and also patriotic enough to protest the government's immoral and deceptive actions. I hate when people refer to others as 'haters.' I say and do racist things, but just for shock value. I love diversity. I jokingly further the Polish stereotype, however in practice I don't follow it at all. I am committed and loyal. I believe in shot placement, not 'spray & pray.' I have been playing guitar recreationally since March 2004. I have even built my own guitar. I'm in the process of rebuilding the suspension and swapping in a new motor for my car. With the help of my Grandfather and Uncle, I built an antique-style wooden speedboat. It's nearly done.With regards to my cycling, it's best explained with the help of Sparton and late apex of PNWRiders: if I perish in the wake of such awesome machinery, it would be nothing less than a valiant and spiritual transcendence thus allowing me to have lived a full and satisfying life. It is the part of life that allows me to see the preciousness of life. Without this small element of risk in my life, life isn't worth living.If you want a good idea of me, watch The World's Fastest Indian. That portrayal of Burt Munro is nearly identical to my own outlook on life. Or just get to know me and find out for yourself. ;)

My Interests

Motorcycles, guns, guitars, cars, mechanical engineering, computers, women. I also have a fascination with theoretical physics, thermodynamics, archeology, biology, evolution, and cryptozoology.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet a nice girl with a good smile. Someone sweet and caring with an energetic, adventurous flair, who can make me laugh until I pee myself or comfort me when something goes wrong, and is smart enough to know what's appropriate at the time. Let me know if you think you got that "it" factor. ;)I'd also like to meet local cyclists, I'm always up for a run in the twisties!

Books:

I'm not big into literature, but right now I'd say that Homer Hickam Jr. is probably my favorite writer. I just read Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, and it was great. Go read it. I also just read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which is very interesting and well-written. Go read it too.

Heroes:

I don't know... probably my grandpa... and anyone who served in the 101st ABN in WWII... I have a lot of respect for those guys.

Shipping Stuff
