I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

A lot to say. But I think what makes me most who I am is that I love people. All people. Even ones that I shouldn't. I value life and individuality more than all else. And if you've got the charisma to show it, you are alright in my book. And even if you don't, you're still someone who I want to know.I do a lot of stuff. More than I can even conceptualize, let alone describe here, but I love to try new things and generally, once I do, I am hooked, and it ends up on my list of things I do - when I find the time. I work hard and alot. I have my own business that I started with some friends that allows me to do many of the things that I love most, like artwork, graphic design, website design, animation, carpentry, sign-making, etc. So thats great that I can do that stuff AND get paid for it. And as for hobbies - Snowboarding ranks at number 1 for me. I have been doing it for 17 years now and its the only thing that really brings me any kind of peace. But close behind are rock climbing, tree climbing, skateboarding, and martial arts. And then the less active ones like playing my guitar, reading, sewing, drawing, etc. Very rarely will you find me watching TV, unless its a movie, just because I have soooooo many other things that I would rather be doing.Here are a few places you can find out more about me, and see some of the work that I have done. The first is my business that I run with a few friends:Focus Power: A Freelance Collective
My ultimate repository for all of my stuff - portfolio materials, and things I would never submit as such. Basically everything that I can find that I have made, written, produced or otherwise created throughout my many years of life, and that have survived the test of time.

I especially like the Pandas and the Statue of Liberty. Now I gotta make more funny pictures. Crap. glumbert.com - When graphic artists get bored... and a very funny clip from the Onion that I just stole from a very pretty girl's profile: ..
Report: Many U.S. Parents Outsourcing Child Care OverseasI love cats.

My Interests

Snowboarding, skateboarding, rock climbing, tree climbing, art, photography, playing and listening to music, singing, graphic design, website design, fashion design, interior decorating, carpentry, furniture refinishing and building, animation, videography, sewing, adventuring, meeting new people, hiking, camping, biking, driving, vertical wind tunnel skydiving, exploring new places

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone. I truly love people. I think anyone who knows me will tell you the same. I generally don't go for fake and/or uneducated people though. Not to sound snobby with the uneducated thing - just that I pay specific attention to myself and my surroundings as a respect to those who come in contact with me, and I appreciate the same respect from others. And its not like I mean people who can't spell, or don't know big vocabulary words either - no, its the people who treat life like they own it - parents who yell at or hit their kids, or who, because they weren't ready to be parents themselves, treat their children like scapegoats for all of their problems - people who steal or cheat or complain alot - people who flaunt their wealth in the faces of the poor - and most of all, people who hurt others for whatever reason. The way I see it, we are all just struggling along in our own ways on this planet, and the only thing that will save us from certain doom is knowledge - of each other and ourselves. So generally, the people who I click best with are those people who understand and embrace that, and who want to make this little blue/green planet a better place to live in.I'd like to meet the person who rocked out in Photoshop like this:

Only in Fitchburg

About 2 years ago, while working in Stow (which is right next to Maynard), I saw a bumper sticker on a car that simply said, "Only In Maynard".  I thought it was odd, and kinda funny even though ...

Boys are dumb...

Okay... more to the point... boys are total pussies.  Like, I am totally astounded at how weak some guys can be.  Jealousy, to me, is the number one indication of weakness and child-like ten...
