Cinema is my life, my expression, my courage, my refuge, my prison, my fear, my timidity, Cinema is my death. Drawing is something I did a lot growing up, from comic characters then later to mechanical and architectual drafting. I tagged a wall or two with spray paint. Anything with Art and being Creative and Crafty I'm in to. Im good with my hands. Cooking is a side passion of mine. The process soothes me. Jogging has become an addiction. It clears the mind and refreshes the body. Thought is my major pastime. I like to ponder, question, imagine, I can often be too much in my head. Im a Comic Book enthusiast, the balance of story and art still engages me. When it Rains I will sit on the porch or even go for a walk. I enjoy the sound, smell and the feeling. Early Fall is my favorite season, the crisp air, gentle winds, the sound of dry leaves under your feet, the half barren trees that stretch to sky, the colors of the leaves makes the world golden at sunset.
She lives only in my dreams and I cant sleep.For the Ladies. I like different things about different women. The only way to catch my interest is to be real. I look for genuine moments in women and fall for whatever uniqueness she may have. The focus of my love life right now is one of casual association. Whatever comes from that, who knows, that's part of the excitement. Whatever the interest may be theres gotta be a connection, comfort and chemistry. I like girls with a strong spirit, a clear mind, someone who knows what she wants and knows when she doesn't. Responsible, affectionate, easy going, drama free, upfront and honest.
