About Me

No matter the real truth that is either coffee or religion, there are those who will choose to be lazy and simply whip up a batch of cheap instant spirituality to swill out of cheap styrofoam as they like, convinced in their minds that is the Jamaican Blue Mountain that all the monks have stashed in their monasteries...
Since social networking is all anthropological effervescence and autobiographical onanism, I'm just going to throw up a few keywords to cover the areas that everyone seems to look for when they read these things:
What I am: Male. Educated. Spiritual. Intelligent. Against animal cruelty. Tattoed. Left-leaning. Pro-choice. Meditative. Burner. Artistic. Ex-smoker. Social drinker.
What I am not: Vegetarian or Vegan. Hippy. Pacifist. Redneck. Car mechanic. Creationist. Uncaring. Republican. Extremist. Sports fan. Daily drinker. Beer-swiller. Pot-smoker.
What I like: Animals. Coffee. Curries. Humane Society. Invader Zim. Motorcycles. Chai. Barbecue. Dark chocolate. Water noise. Fire. Burning Man. Music. Ethical consumption.
What I dislike: Machismo. Sports. PETA. Intolerance. Milk chocolate. American health care. Zombies. Bad drivers. Cruel people. Rednecks and neo-cons. Conspicuous consumption.
Hobbies: Drawing. Painting. Soapmaking. Geeking out online. Pretty shiny things. Other stuff.
Also of note: I am imperfect. I am not a dream, an illusion, or knight in shining armor. I am who I am. I have a one-eyed cat named Shikee. I always carry water with me. I will not use my cell phone when I drive and don't like it when others do. I love to dance and I don't care what I look like when I do it. I am as advertised. I do not need a large truck, SUV, or other mechanical contrivances to compensate for a lack elsewhere in my being. I may be imperfect, but I am not inadequate. I have everything that I need and I am always looking to get rid of extra baggage. I am still looking for the magic in the largest and smallest of things. Has it all gone? If it has, then there is no reason to be awake. I suppose that's why I keep going...
This is by no means exhaustive. If there is anything else you would like to know, ask! I won't bite. Much. ;)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

- Jack Kerouac

That said, shiny new friends are always welcome. Meet some of the crazy, beautiful people who know me:
