About Me

I hold strange hours. I love to garden and travel, if I have the money. I bartend to make that money. I need coffee in the morning. I like to walk me and my dog around town a lot. I have cats too, and sometimes rats - but not now. Sometimes I excercise and read and clean my house often. And other times I sleep too much, drink excessively, and collect free shit off the street for no good reason really. You know how it is. Sometimes I'm sharp and funny, and sometimes I'm just floating. I get into boxing matches and dance like an idiot when I've been drinking too much. I love good pranks and those who commit them.

My Interests

travelling, camping, sewing, comic books, cartoons, naps, re-use, choir singing, playing the piano and composing music, dancing, animals, plants, walking, getting a different job one day, figuring out what that job is, motorcycles, sometimes drawing or painting, drinking beer and playing games with my hilarious friends, having a house, trailer, boat, train car.. something to fix up one day, living a good life. If I was invincible I would destroy all dog fighters.

I'd like to meet:
