Not Your Average Bear...

About Me


I'm just an eccentric artist/inventor/ninjitsu student/bartender. Doing what i can to change the world, and live up to my INTP roots. I bounce between Michigan, Cali, and Texas...though currently i'm in Michigan helping family out. But i'm pondering a move to either Holland, England, or Japan for awhile. With me, you just never can tell where i'll be the next day.
Made the crazy decision to forgo college, and just run my own businesses that will specialize on marketing my art, designs, and inventions. Currently i'm still just trying to raise the capital needed to fund these little projects, but if everything goes correctly they should be off the ground by the end of next year. Then perhaps you'll see some funny infomercials with something like "Made by Rickco" on them. Not that i generally aim that small with my ideas, but i'm sure there are a few things i could create which would sell well in that genre.
Overall, i'm a giant Teddy Bear that generally masquerades as the rough and tumble Polar Bear when agitated or just uncomfortable. Most people tend to find me hilarious, and i have pondered trying to do Comedy just to see what might happen. Who knows, perhaps i would be a taller and far less drug addicted Chris Farley. Then i could use my Ninjitsu experiance, to totally create Beverly Hills Ninja 2, and rock that bad boy onto the big screen! In the end, you just don't know unless you try, and i'm not quite bored enough to make an ass out of myself in front of the world...maybe next week.
If i seem like an interesting guy, perhaps a little insane, and you'd like to chat sometime...feel free to message me on AIM, Yahoo, or MSN all by the same SN of "Maddhattrrr" and subsequently "[email protected]" for MSN. Being the consumate night owl that i am, i'm generally on much later in the day than most people. But sometimes i might make a random appearance during daylight hours from my hermetically sealed and utterly locked coffin...since sunlight tends to set me aflame, and breeds activity in the elderly, just not a fun time to be out and about. I look forward to possibly hearing from you.

My Interests

Inventing, Art, Architecture (I'm designing my own Hobbit Hole esque home to be built in the near future by myself), Poetry, Painting, TV, Movies, Music, Intellectual Debates, Chess, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic The Gathering, Harry Potter, Star Wars, LotR's, Reading in General, Sleeping, Computers, Hot Rods, Becoming a Hermit out in the woods far away from the rest of mankind, Becoming a Treasure Hunter as a career move, Thinking up senario's for what i'd do in the event of a Zombie Uprising, Driving at speeds above 100mph, Trying to pay a group of midgets to dress up as Oompa Loompa's to have a day of hilarity, Studying Tew Ryu Ninjitsu, and Working to truly align my Mind, Body, and Spirit under the banner of Balance.

I'd like to meet:

What, are we talking people who are alive, dead, or for dating??? Haha, because i could come up with a list for any and all. Alive - Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino. Dead - Leonardo DiVinci and Buddha. Dating - Just would like to meet a woman who is very laid back, intellectual, honest, knows what she wants out of life, and enjoys the outdoors or anything that comes her way. Being Nerdy/Geeky earns you wicked bonus points though, as does being a Contortionist, ;)

For those who find their way here because of my LotR avatar...

While i love that avatar and find it hilarious, it wasn't my first choice when dealing with LotR's GIFs.  Personally, i'd much rather have the classic "Mordor" GIF but it's simply too large to fi...
