I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

tattoo artist,dermatician, antique furniture restorer, ex-vocalist (Venus In Spurs, Shreveport, La), adrenaline junkie, non-smoker,complacent, adaptable, spontaneous yet laidback, imaginative, determined, impatient (but working on that...sometimes you don't have a choice in the matter), creative, intrigued, intriguing, sassy, witty, fearless, facetious. I'm addicted to fortune cookies. I like guns....alot. I try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt. I hate liars and thieves. I have a hat fetish. So if any of my friends are bewildered as to what to get me for Christmas/birthdays...now you know!I can't stand Eddie Vedder's voice. It makes me cringe and want to kill somebody.I hate Hot Topic trend whores. Goodwill and second hand stores is where it's at. I have a tendency to read magazines from the back to the front. I have to sit facing the door when I'm in a restaurant, but not necessarily to people watch. However, I do like observing other people's mannerisms.I'm really getting big into old rods..like rat rods. I'd like to own a 1959 Cadillac..and maybe even a 53. We'll see. I'm working on trying to save money to get the hell out of East Texas. Want to move to Colorado or Oregon and open up my own tattoo shop there. I just got a job at a shop here in Longview and I'm ready for it to get busy so I can make some money and leave all the things that make me miserable behind.I miss all my buds over in Dallas. Hope life is treating you guys well. Anyhow,trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth...so I'd better stop before I get a toothache.if you want to know anything else, just ask.
