About Me


I lose those notecards you are supposed to put those daily affirmations on, so I just started having them tattooed on my body.
I've written seven books. I paint watercolors and have broken another person's ribs.
I am the knight in rusted armor, or so I've been told.
I'm the first person you call when your friend dies and you need someone to talk to so you don't crash your car on the way home.I hate cowards, liars and villains, especially those that would use intimacy for their own ends.I come with references.
I have nice eyes.
I have that particular part of a man called a 'lizard brain', but I have more control over it than most.
I've saved someone's life before. I'll probably do it again.
My AIM screen name is ParadiseCursed. I recommend you introduce yourself.

My Interests

Goth/Industrial Music, Writing, Martial Arts, Alternative Lifestyles, Tattoos, Buddhism, Wrestling, Self-Improvement, Exercise, Poetry, Cinema, Bad Movies, The Art of Courtly Love.

As for personality, yes, I have one. I have a gallows humor which comes out once you have been around me for a while, so be perpared for grim yet humorous comments.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty open to the people I meet. I've traveled thousands of miles in the past few years just to meet people and I don't plan on stopping.
An Important Note:
I do not just collect people. People message me introducing yourself if you wish to be added. I like to talk to people, not have their pic on my screen. Thus, drop me a line and tell me where you found me. Thanks!

That being said, here's the short list:Dreamers Goths and Punks Corporate people Writers and filmmakers People that looked over the edge and walked away People that share my interests Those that mosh to the beat of a different drummer Politicos Heroes (Super- is optional) Any of the above interested in dating

Cool Kids
