About Me

I'm young, but aging. I love music in the same way that a dog loves a person. I wear corrective lenses. I don't believe in either Pepsi or Coca-Cola any more than the other. I think that right is relative. I know something about love. I know something about loss. I didn't get here by being active or inactive. I have passions for some things I don't have to do. I have no passion for some things I have to do. I like things that are short, sweet, and to the point. I like things that take their time. I will always remember stupid things and forget important things. I need no scapegoat for my wrongdoings. I like left-handed people even though I make fun of them. If I scream, nobody will hear. I fear the deaths of others much more than my own. I can stand in a warm shower longer than you might think possible. I began to divide during a July many years ago. After many spinach salads and double-fortified milkshakes I decided to eat through my mouth instead of my belly button. I don't smoke. Anything. I like red wine, but not zinfandel, unless it's from Peachy Canyon. I could live the rest of my life without having known that you exist. I like being warm. I like the sound of rain on a roof. I try to believe in second, even fourth chances on many things. I can firmly grip a steering wheel in my left hand for hours without a cramp, while my right hand will cramp in minutes. I like snow. I like glow. I want to know how to do everything. I want to teach when I retire. I want children, but not until I'm not such a child myself. I use more caution than before. I prefer heavy strings and heavy picks. I firmly believe that mistakes are the best teachers. Beyond that, ask.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Quite possibly you. Just send e-mail first, otherwise cut cut cut. Exceptions ---> I don't wish to be "friends" with sociopaths, bigots, or recruit-happy scientologists. If these describe you, Tom Cruise, don't even bother with the e-mail.

Call Me (Cover by In This Moment)

Really good hard rock cover of a Blondie song that most people would recognize. I dig it.
