About Me

I like to talk about ideas I have with people and I enjoy listening to the ideas of others. I enjoy asking myself questions and answering them. I enjoy asking others questions and listening to their answers. I love to excercise my mind and body. I have great respect for art and artists. I love to create wearable art. I can be quite cynical at times but I'm really working on it. I love privacy. I don't purposely attract attention to myself in public for fun. I try not to waste time. I can find positivity and or humor in 99.9% of what happens to me or around me. I have phenomenal hand-eye coordination. Those who know me best will tell you that I am very gentle but hard headed and tough. I try to mind my own business. I feel dirty when I lie. I feel dirty when lied to. I love to love. I know what I'm capable of but often feel riddled with self doubt. I am unwilling to hate. I can find something to like about pretty much any kind of music. Photography fascinates me. Making things out of metal is one of my very favorite things to do and I get to do it for a living. My sense of smell is my best sense. I like getting older for lots of reasons. I believe having or wanting too many "things" can screw you up. If my home caught on fire I'd go in after my travel journals and nothing else. Arrogance really bothers me. I laugh with a lot of people but not with anyone the way I laugh with my brother. I love cats and dogs equally but for much different reasons. Getting angry often makes me feel silly. I do not often wear my heart on my sleeve. I have a great appreciation for very small creatures and I believe they deserve our respect and love.
Problem Solving Crow - Watch the top videos of the week here This kind of stuff fascinates me.
When I look at this dog I see a little boy and I see myself.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who look at themselves as a work in progress.....always trying to learn and improve upon themselves spiritually, mentally and physically. People who take the time to examine what is happening in their lives and why. Those in search of balance. People who find good and positivity in the occurences that appear to be bad, because I believe unwaiveringly that good comes from EVERY situation. People who are creative. People who tell me the truth. People to whom I can tell the truth. People who see beauty in the very small things. People who will hold me accountable.....and those who will allow me to reciprocate. Those who are unafraid to give and receive without guilt. People who want to go ride bikes.
