About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Fire & ice Dragons

What is there to say about myself? What is it one would want to know? Well here is a brief over view. Want to know more, drop me a line and let's talk.I was born in the winter of 1972 during a blizzard, just two days after Valentine's Day. My childhood was spent running around the hills and woods of upstate New York. The smell of pines in winter and fields in the summer are still with me today. I lived in a rural town in an old colonial house. My nearest neighbor lived across the road, the next was about a half a mile away. I was an imaginative and inquisitive lad. . I grew up drawing, reading, listening to old country (oh God never again), doing chores, Role-playing, homework and getting into trouble. When not engaging in these activities I spent time with my cousins Larry and Clay. Friends at school kept me in touch with the rest of the world. My fondest memories of high school deal with Rick, James, Leslie, Clay, Tammy and Diana. They kept me grounded and introduced me to so much. Other than that the whole High school thing could have went to Hell for all I cared. I went to college at SUNY Cobleskill. I did very well there, both scholastically and socially. I grew by leaps and bounds in ways I never expected. After my second year I transfered to Cornell. I must admit that it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I worked hard to get in and the work paid off. There I continued to grow and made some great friends. I still talk to Monica, my best friend to this day. With her, I moved to Portland and have been here since. I've met many people while here. Some turned out to be good friends(Ashley, Brandy, Greg, Jeremy, Miriam, Corrie, Josh, Beki, Abe, Rachelle, Amanda and Matt). Others just pretended to be my friend. To them I say the best of luck.. You'll need it to get through life. To my friends I say May you always be blessed with good luck, happy homes and healthy lives!!I am some what of a paradox: a geek, athlete, intelligent, imaginative, sarcastic, sincere are some words to describe me. I love the goth culture but can not live it 24/7 due to work. I love the clubs but lately been unable to go. I still draw, work out, listen to live music (though I can't stand Country or Rap), play RPGS,and enjoy nature. I'm open to meet new people and always on an outlook for artistic inspiration.Some of my art is on this page. Others are found on a different website (just ask me for the address). As always, my art continues to grow in it's own way. My older art from High school is actually better in many ways. Taking a long break from drawing does that. However, as I draw more the skills and latent talents grow and i hope to surpass myself soon.

My Interests

What do you wish to know? I have a variety of interest, some of them totally unrelated. I like to work out, hike, RPGs, anime, art (creating and enjoying), music, hanging with friends and sundry other activities. I like going out to goth nights and meeting new peoples. I find inspiration for my art when going out, listening to music, and browsing others art work. I enjoy live music more than recordings. However, CDs have their obvious advantages. If you wish to know more just ask!

I'd like to meet:

Real people. People who are not narrow minded, not worried about what other people think and have their own style. I like imaginative, intelligent, non-conformist, sarcastic, independent, and self-assured people. I'm open to making new friends and who knows it may be the best thing that ever happened to both parties. People who are actually willing to talk in real life! The computer is no substitute for interpersonal interaction. Go out and LIVE LIFE.

Music:

Music is a must in my life. I use it when I work out, walk to work, out at the clubs and well just about most of my non-work day. I like all kinds of music. In fact the only 2 types I really do not listen to is Rap and Country. There are exceptions but very few. Here are some that I current listen to (not in alphabetical order): Aerosmith, Ayria, Linkin Park, Metallica, Kittie, Within Temptation, Combichrist, Emile Autumn, Angelspit, Lacuna Coil, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Green Day,Coal Chamber, Atreyu, Alice In Chains, Styx, Rush, In This Moment, Diecast, Saosin, VNV Nation, Sugar Ray, Def Leppard, Joe Satriani, Montley Crue, Dragonforce, Breaking Benjamin, Concrete Blonde, Switchfoot, Thursday, Saigon Kick, 3 Doors Down, Audioslave, The Darkness, Hinder, Gorillaz, Demonhunter, Evanescence, The Exies, Offspring, My Chemical Romance, In Flames, Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, Adema, AFI, Aiden, A Perfect Circle, Bush, Blonde, Donnas, Duran Duran, Eve 6, Ever Clear, Garbage, Great White, Guns n' Roses, Iced Earth, INXS and a bunch of other bands. I could be here forever if I continue to list.

Movies:

I do enjoy movies. Either at home or in the theater. I prefer action, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, drama, anime, foreign, martial arts and a few select musicals. Comedies are alright but don't really do much for me. Shrugs! I really enjoy B-rated movies! I especially love the Evil Dead series. Bruce Campbell Rocks!! When at home I love to watch anime! Here are a few I truly enjoyed watching: Princess Mononoke, Blood the Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D (both of them), Record of the Lodoss War, Berserk, Rune Soldier, Get Backers, Ramna 1/2, Bubble Gum Crisis, Nurato, Rurouni Kenshin, Slayers, Cowboy Bebop, EscaFlowne, Vampire Princess Mui, Full Metal Alchemist, Star Ocean EX, Le Cheviler D'Eon and a host of others. A brand new favorite of mine is Tokko!!!

Television:

I can not watch regular television. I find "reality" TV too disgusting to watch. I mainly use my TV for DVDs and the occasional video gaming.

Books:

I love books. Primarily I enjoy history, animals, art self help, fantasy and sci-fi novels. To list the number of authors I've read would be a long list. Instead here are some notables : Terry Brooks, J.R.R. Tolkien, Glen Cook, Angus Wells, Mercedes Lackey, Dennis L. McKiernan, Keith Baker, Richard Baker, Barb & J.C. Hendee and many, many more.Just because I did not list someone does not mean I did not like their work. Like I said, I've read a lot of books.

Heroes:


SuicideKiss.com - Deadly pictures, gothic horror, sick layoutsWho or what is a hero to a person? I mean seriously, a hero is based on a person's opinions and views. Frankly I have no need to share mine at this time.
