About Me

An optimistic realist, fast-paced, overproductive, musically/ artistically talented, empathetic, PERCEPTIVE, mildly obsessive, off-center, passionate, addicted to caffeine, good beer and good wine enthusiast, insomniac, lover, fighter, jack of all trades.****NEW ADDENDUM AND DISCLAIMER, please read below.If you are so wrapped up in this site with boolshit, drama or desperation that you need this site to keep your life interesting, log off, get up and step away from the computer...Call someone, write a letter ( NOT AN EMAIL ) and get over the petty bullshit that this site enables. Most importantly, don't involve me in your baby-momma, myspace drama.

My Interests

Music / Arts, road trips ( unplanned , of course ) Cynical humorists, photography, busting people's chops, finding out how many cups of coffee is " too many " , bashing the hell out of the skins, producing/ engineering records, learning, teaching, eating great food, cooking great food, and being a total slacker and not having any game. PHOTOGRAPHY.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that can take their head out of their ass and live life the way they want to, not how others want them to...Anyone who thinks that they can give me a run for my money, I love a good debate so show up with your A game and bring it, also, the people who started the boy- band phase, so I can crack em' one in the head.....word. Also, since I am on the subject, Dave Grohl, so I can break his frigging arms for being too good..Tonya Harding ain't got nothing on this. A few more for shits and giggles : the Drummer ( Tory ) of The Donnas, Adriana Lima couldn't hurt either....
