About Me

I enjoy excess and I enjoy moderation. I love the outdoors and I love the indoors. I love to be surrounded by people, and I love to be alone. The richest I ever felt was when I didn't have a dime in my pocket. The most dissatisfied I ever felt was when there was nothing left to want.
I appreciate tactfully chosen phrases spoken in blunt and frank tones. I am annoyed by superficial blithering.
I am attracted to confident, open mided, opinionated, creative people. I am really turned on by learn-ed people who fancy discussions about the universe and kinetic energy and the divine proportion and the significance of dirt.
I tend to see the world in shades of grey. I sometimes enjoy watching people more than interacting with them. I am fascinated and enamored with all the freaks and the weirdos and the folks who stand out in a crowd, although I myself probably come off as more reserved and prefer to blend in to the background.
I like the fact that I have a very diverse group of friends from all backgrounds and beliefs. It goes to show that we all CAN co-exist. While my opinions and beliefs might be different than yours, I'm not the kind of person that sees any value in forcing them on others. The tendancy of people to try to impose their beliefs on social and moral issues by legislation is in my view, wholly un-American. Live and let live, brotha!
I really believe that there are very few problems in life that can't be figured out with your best girlfriend and some cocktails and some blah, blah, blah.
And I use baby wipes on the pooper. You should consider the switch yourself.

Look how cute my brother is!!!!!!
