About Me

Hi World...I'm like ol' Popeye, "I yam what I yam", I'm just me. I love Art, Music, Motorcycles and Love. I have had some wild and bizarre experiences in my life and I believe they have made me the wild and bizarre person that I am today. I love God and am soooo grateful for all my many blessings. He has been very good to me and I hope that my life reflects the gratitude that I have. My daughter is the greatest. I love her to pieces. I am an artist. I am pretty good with most Any art style, by hand or computer generated... I play piano, guitars, and harmonica. All self taught...so not classically trained. I write music and poetry and draw portraits and logos along with my other interests. I love making art and music, riding my motorcycle but I also Love just lounging and watching a good movie on the ol' big screen. I am a pretty easy man to please and am a very loving, kind of guy. Not your take it or leave it kind...I am very, maybe overly passionate about life,and my zest for it is boundless. Being a Leo I'm a Loyal and faithful...one woman guy. Love to be appreciated and I'll slay any dragon for my Queen....and while I DO need to be the King....I say "it's good to be the Queen". Hey, if we were all the same some of us wouldn't be needed...so I love the differences... but a like minded friend that "Gets Me"../that's bliss. I love to joke and tease and laugh...Paramount in my life is laughter. I have every hope and expectation that God's preparing my perfect mate as we speak.....and I am taking applications. People say life is to short to be in a bad relationship....but I say life is to LONG to be in a bad relationship...so I keep trying...and eventually I'll find Ms. Right...but in the mean time I'm living and loving... jamming and painting...writing and playing....and expecting my miracle.

My Interests

Women, Art, Music, Motorcycles,my family, recovery and Love are my very favorite things.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to have met Jesus and lots of others like Michelangelo, De Vinci, Van Gogh, M.C. Escher, Rockwell...but people alive today aren't nearly as fascinating to me. I Love people...but am not to impressed with celebrity...really. I'd much rather have a nice dinner with a friend than wait in line to get to see yet another famous type. Been there, done that, wasn't that impressed.. besides all my hero's turn out to be tiny or gay in real life so I'd rather just let them stay on the screen.

Music:

Love it! Love to listen to it...love to write it, and Love to play it. Music can move me like no other thing on the planet. Two notes at the right time can bring a tear to my eye or a lump to my throat. More Music Please! Maroon 5 is a new favorite, Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Hinder, Carlos Santana, I love all the old classic rock guys and gals but I love the new stuff too. I've been a Beatle fan forever, Thin Lizzy, Led Zepplin, Cat Stevens, CSNY, Motown....you name it and I've bopped to it.

Movies:

I Love movies...mostly comedy's. Indie films too. I prefer to laugh. You'll find me in funny movies most of the time.

Television:

I enjoy my television. Have a big screen with surround sound at the end of my bed. My favorite place to be. Snuggled up with a cutie watching something funny, interesting or educational and I'm in heaven. Scrubs, My name is Earl, The Office. Watch a lot of A&E, History Channel, Comedy Central. Love the HBO series like the Sopranos, Deadwood and Carnival. I'm not ashamed of the fact that modern technology is my friend.

Books:

Bible, Big Book, Twelve and twelve, Road Less Traveled, I'd rather Do than Read tho.

Heroes:

My hero's have always been cowboys....No! I respect a lot of different types, Comedians, Artists, Musicians, Doctors, and everyday people that struggle but do the right thing even tho they won't get any credit or reward. I love people. I don't like mean people or users, but they need love to...just not much from me. My biggest hero tho is my daughter who I hope to be half as cool as when and if I ever grow up.

My Blog

Whatever I believe becomes my reality! So be careful what you believe.

"Whatever I believe becomes my reality". However wrong or misguided it might be...it seems real to me. My dad was the only doctor for several towns around so he was quite an influential person. Peo...

2006/2007

I can only imagine what wonders God has in store for us this year. I think I'll stick around and see what's coming up. In the words of Bernie Taupin/Elton John, "We shall survive....let us take ours...
