in my mind i was a child and it felt good

About Me

not much to say. i'm a real laid back guy that is pretty quiet until i get to know you. i am not the athletic type but if you can combine fun with activity (hiking, kayaking, swimming, surfing, sex, mountain biking, ect) i am all for it. i have my standards. i enjoy a good beer and old bourban and fine wine but i don't tie one on as often as i used to. i have recently moved back home to take a job that lets me not spend weeks and months on little boats in the middle of the ocean. time to put down down some roots. but i have only been home a week and i wreck my motorcycle (broken ribs and collar bone and a bruised lung). also my bike is injured. mybe someone is telling me something. i'm no saint but i don't think my karma is that bad. it is good to be back in the south. there is a simpleness here that is refreshing with the rolling hills and small towns. although "The South" in my head may have never existed. nostalgia is a wonderful dream.

My Interests

I have a wide variety of interest. I enjoy many outdoor activities like camping and hiking. i have recently discovered surfing but i am still below sucking. I would have to say that live music takes up as much time as i can afford to give to it.

I'd like to meet:

rufas, the 13th apposal http://c.myspace.com/Groups/00006/06/89/6689860_l.gif

Music:

some of all of it, but mostly jambands like widespread panic. I have resently been listening to Michael Houser's new cd. I am also a huge buffet fan. old country, the truckers and mulew are among my favorites

Movies:

I spend weeks at sea so i will watch anything i have not seen. i hate the term indie films. only some of them or better but big productions are for the masses and lets face it they are not the smartest by deffinition.

Television:

I try not to watch too much. 24 every monday and sopranos on sunday. after that mindless dribble. reality shows suck. nothing has been reality or new. maybe the first cast of realworld caught a wiff.

Books:

anything by Hemingway----- Stuwart Woods for quick reads Tom Robbins for bizzar laughs I have been reading a great book by Carl Safini (Song For A Blue Ocean)

Heroes:

be your own. the british navies toast for wed. " to ourselves for who else cares for our welfare" so true
