HUNG LIKE EINSTEIN AND SMART AS A HORSE!

About Me

I am also a self-employed contractor and a semi-professional beach bum with a broad range of leisure interests. I spend lots of money entertaining myself. I am quite motivated but don't expect me to show it. I have goals, honest. I don't like to talk about work but I pay my bills. I believe in tipping responsibly. I do not want to make choices for you. I like those pictures of you naked though.

My Interests

I like drinking beer and/or whiskey while doing one or more of the following: driving, Writing and/or Performing Music, Singing, attending sporting events (Mariners front row, Huskies basketball and football, Tbirds, Tacoma Rainier's Dollar Pabst Night), road tripping, remodeling my house forever, sampling everything at the buffet, smoking anything, playing hold 'em, procrastinating, building shit, breaking stuff, using my hands, hair farming, hanging out with good people, being outdoors, being indoors, performing acts of gluttony, exercise that isn't boring (soccer, ski, snowboard, sex, surfing), listening to music, hearing waves and playing by the water, getting high in the mountains, going to the dirt mall, camping with a keg, hiking like a blind three-legged retarded mountain goat, weed whacking crop circles in the back yard, owning at least nine ice cube trays, watching pretty girls, and most any other entertaining general activity.

I'd like to meet:

Wealthy patrons and interesting people who are friendly, relaxed, have a sense of humor, don't feel guilty all the time, less judgmental, nice to look at, appreciate art, are legal, like music, don't want to argue politics or religion but are informed, take care of themselves, don't get personally hurt by incidental irony and sarcasm, steal from corporations not people, spend a significant amount of their income on personal entertainment, believe in karma a little bit and enjoy themselves and life.

Music:

UNINVITED www.weareuninvited.com
I sing in the opera and in a punk band but don't listen to either much. New Wave makes me flashback to no responsibilities, almost every synthesizer and bass song from the 80's (ie. KPLZ back in the day), good 60's/70's psychedelic bands (Yes, Steve Miller), Perfect Circle, Peter Gabriel, all Radiohead, Rage, Rush, Roger Waters Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Stones in the middle of the night on the road, Police, Johnny Cash, Chris Cornell in the mornings, old Metallica, Floyd, Paul's Boutique and Licensed to Ill, First Five Zeppelin, old Van Halen, Trey Parker soundtracks, Tool, Thompson Twins, Bjork, Beatles, Billy Joel, Journey, GNR, Queens of the Stone Age, Sabbath, Steely Dan with sunset and sativa, Earth Wind and Fire, hot girls that play strings, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Nirvana and most other Seattle Bands from the 90's, Really bad 80's buttrock (Priest, Maiden etc), Neil Diamond kareoke, and country that makes fun of country.

Movies:

Mallrats, Caddyshack, Supertroopers, Run Lola Run, Reality Bites, Better Off Dead, This is Spinal Tap, Twelve Monkeys, The Big Lebowski, Bond-a-thons, Coen bros, Cameron Crowe, most Kubrick, Love and War, all Sci-fi and post-apocalyptic settings, cheesy 80's movies, Mel Brooks, most Monty Python, all Guy Ritchie, Say Anything, Fast Times, Fletch, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, new porn, good surround sound and explosions, Hands On A Hardbody, The Ref, Eulogy

Television:

When I manage to get the kids away from the TV I channel surf Psych, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, ESPN, Fox Sports World (the soccer and rugby channel), college and professional football, March Madness, basically the only reality TV I watch is sports, Cartoon Network Adult Swim, Comedy Central, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, Idiots handling venomous creatures, Girls Gone Wild commercials, and public access porn.

Books:

Cat's Cradle, Ender's Game, Love in the Time of Cholera (I can't believe One Hundred Years of Solitude got a Pulitzer...it sucks so bad), Lord of the Rings trilogy (anybody actually read all the way through The Silmarillion?), the Huxley not everyone else has read (esp. Ape and Essence, Genius and the Goddess), Hesse, hard science fiction (Bear, Cramer, etc), cheesy historic novels of the supernatural, Candide, The Eight, all Asimov except for textbooks (even those can be interesting), Ayn Rand books that are not a thousand pages long, Stranger in a Strange Land, Split Infinity, Silver Age Marvel comics, Seduction of the Innocent (Dr. Wertham was an idiot), The Jungle, esoteric crap about numerology or astrology for about fifteen minutes, Penthouse Forum, The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs the Dough, Dune stuff, Dragons of Eden, Dandelion Wine, Crichton if he could ever come up with a good ending, Bukowski sucks but I live that way.

Heroes:

Stan Lee, Leonardo da Vinci, rock stars in general, jerkoffs, Jesus Christ, Jenna Jameson and my Dad. Let's be honest though, the scrawny guy with the halo is only on this list for alliterative purposes.
