Daniel & Nala!

Looking for salvation in the damned.

About Me


Apparently, I need a helping hand to get that basket!
I'm an artist/creator. I love to start new projects, play with new materials, create new worlds. One of my dreams is to own a lot of land, and take one acre every year and create a totally different world out of it. Maybe a forest with Alice in Wonderland characters hidden everywhere. Maybe a Zen garden. Maybe a lake with tiny islands and tiny suspension bridges connecting them. You never know. Each year, another acre, another world. Will I ever accomplish this? Does it really matter?
I love to entertain. I love to act, to tell jokes, to sing, dance, paint. I'm a visual person, who talks in metaphors and will stare at beautiful things. Yet I go through spells of being really bloody serious and down to earth. My personality contradicts itself sometimes. Anything to keep you guessing. But, ask me anything and I'll tell you. (I'll probably tell you even if you don't ask, since once you get me started its hard to get me to stop talking!)
The periodic picture of Nala:

My Interests

Ruppies, Learning Mandarin, Pirates, Having new music thrust upon me, Painting, Sculpting, Welding, Singing, Logic puzzles!, Riddles, Spaceships! (I Like Spaceships a lot. It's unhealthy!)

I'd like to meet:

People who want to go do fun things with me. Extra points for having a dog you love, or a love of dogs!

A woman who gives me electric shocks when I touch her. (No scuffing your shoes on the carpet, cheater!)

I want to get out more and do athletic things. I want to go snowboarding, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, go-kart racing, bike riding, and just about anything that means using my body. Man, but I needs me some peeps who are itching to explore!

Music:

Any song that I can sing the kitty chorus too. "Meow meow meow meow", Sea Shanties. I'm a walking jukebox, I always have a song in my head. I think my subconcious mind is trying to tell me something.

Movies:

All time favorites: The Professional, The Iron Giant, Battle Angel(anime), Evil Dead 2, The Reflecting Skin, Amelie, The Princess Bride, Shaolin Soccer, Thundering Mantis, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Oh, Lucas, you are a bad money grubbing little man for making those rancid prequels.)

Television:

The new BATTLESTAR GALACTICA rocks, except when there's no space battles. I've got a fever, and the only perscription is more space battles! I like any show on dinosaurs and big machines. How It's Made. Late night cartoons. The Daily Show/Colbert Report combo.

Books:

"A Prayer for Owen Meaney", "Hotel New Hampshire", "The World According to Garp"...I really like John Irving! Every night before bed I read selections from the Calvin and Hobbes books. Bill Watterson, WE NEED YOU! PLEASE COME BACK! PUUULLLLEEEZE!

Heroes:


Stupendous Man!
My Grandpa, who was always the gentleman. Kari Rabbit, who never ceases to amaze me. AK, my prophet. My Dad, who I understand and I think understands me. My Brother, who still manages to love me after I spent my teen years shoving knives through his door. My Nanny, brutally honest and yet supportive. And of course...my Mother, who raised two kids, was extremely successful in business, and fought cancer all at the same time. I get my strength from her. And my sarcastic offensive wit. But that's neither here nor there. I miss her.
