I'm also into tribal drumming, camp fires, drinking home brew, ancient weapons, modern weapons, historical re-enactments, roller derby girls, skulls, pirates, cryptozoology, ethnic food, art, twisted humor, and antiques.I'm a type b personallity with a strong drive for my business. I'm super easy to get along with as long I'm not lied to. I really love meeting people who are educated, fun, open minded and bring in new ideas. I'm all about going to new places and trying new things.I'm always looking for an excuse to go on a road trip or take a train trip. Sometimes the trip is better than getting there.Anyone who knows me can tell you I'm the kind of person who can tell a joke while watching my house burn, that I'm a tenacious go-getter when the chips are down, that I survive in style and think before I speak.Ethics are important to me. I believe that people would be much happier if they think before acting, refrain from saying anything they dont mean, and treat people as they wish to be treated.Next game I'm running is...
