About Me

Setting mousetraps for beasts since 1984....
We always run from that which we are the most fearful of. And we always do what we think is right. Even if it's for just ourselves.
"That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose.” -JD Salinger
"The pursuit of that which we have forsaken is the pursuit of that which we have said already..."
If you want to talk politics, move on. If you want to talk religion, I'm down. If you want to talk emotions, then please teach me.
I am a pisces. It really is plain and simple though I am the exact opposite of plain and simple. Two fish, opposite directions. Everyday of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
this stuff isn't important, but still kinda fun: I now live in the Highlands.I now only own two ball pythons, brittney and Olga, who are both fucking escape artists. But I have found out that duct tape stops there ninja ways. (R.I.P. Loki). I have a totally awesome kitten named Pestilence. She is the scourge of the earth. But you can't be mad at her, cause she is a little puffball. God only knows if I sleep on beds, couches, or wherever anymore. I think I am going to convert a room in Dark horse to a new apartment. I enjoy rock climbing, archery, and marksmanship. I've broken both of my wrists and 3 ribs, all at the same time. I've been to Palo Alto California, Lincoln Nebraska, and Dayton Ohio; each time JUST to visit a friend. I can make my eyes shivver. I have 3 alter egos (DW, RF, TJ). I think kids are totally cool, and hope to grow up to be one. I love giving massages. I hate laundry, but will do dishes any day of the week. I'm (not just) slightly OCD. My favorite animal is a monkey. I love political philosophy, but hate politics. I used to have a lip ring. I have gauged piercings in my ears, one bar through the nape of my neck, a vertical industrial in my right, and now a 10g conch piercing in my left ear. I was born in Houston, Texas. I love fire, and normally have something burning in my room such as a candle or oil lamp. I have substituted Baileys for milk in Honey nut Cheerios before. I was once Saran wrapped to a poll a foot off the ground for 2 hours. I have given homeless people animal crackers before. I have climbed the Cotton Mill loft towers, drank a beer at the top, and then smoked a cigarette while making the 500+ foot journey back down the ladder on the inside of the smokestack. I would eat the Broodwich, and kick that little stick guy in the face. my computer is just fucking dead. End of story.. I have the coolest car ever, a 1981 yellow station wagon affectionately named 'The Big Ugly'. And it was free. Can someone say roadtrip? I also have owned a 1973 Honda CB350 for half a year now. And have yet to even sit on it....

My Interests

Music, Drumming, Guitar and bass, writing, poetry, prose, short stories, art (though I can't do it) drawing, sculpting, building random things. Being in the outdoors always breeds the best verse. I have recently started painting. if I can get a hold of a digital camera, I just may post some pictures.
love bartending and cooking, and am currently filling in doing both things at all sorts of bars.

I'd like to meet:

someone to do my laundry for me.
someone to feed me. right now. My stomach is growling.
srsly, i want to meet people that challenge me, that point out my faults, and that better me in some form or fashion.
People that understand that I'm not perfect, that i WILL fuck up in life, that still love me despite my faults.
Whoever invented popped collars. So I can kick them straight in their reproductive organs.
