Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.

About Me

The details of my life are quite inconsequential, but I'll do the basics for shits and giggles. I've been running around the world pretty aimlessly for the past 6 years, mostly teaching English. Good way to travel if you want to get the hell out of the most boring place in America, also known as the mid-west. I lived in Japan and from there went to a number of countries and then moved out to Hawaii for a couple of years, where I also did some surfing on the side. Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to move back to... ...Kansas. (Though, if you ask certain people, it'a my fault, like it was something I wanted to do. Sorry I'm just a little bitter about that one.) Now, I'm taking my time, getting my head together and saving money to go to grad school. Just so you know, I hate conservatives, I hate bleeding-heart liberals and I despise religion, especially the uninformed holier-than-thou Christians. Not all Christians, but you know the ones I'm talking about. Think about those wackos you see on the street preaching that you've always wanted to punch in the face. (Admit it, you know you want to do it).

My Interests

motorcycles (not those stupid-ass crotch rockets either, I mean real motorcycles, see my photos for a good example), guitar, cars, football, books, movies, history, philosophy, Japanese calligraphy, drinking good beer and wine, travel...(I'm getting bored now and I'm sure you are too so I'll stop)

I'd like to meet:

anyone who has more than half a brain, can think for themself, has a good sense of humor, and can play a mean pan flute solo. Ok, so I really have no idea what that last part means, but it sounds fun.

Music:

Anything that doesn't suck. NOTE: If it's country, it probably sucks.

Movies:

Whatever, movies are so subjective and it's possible for a movie in just about any genre to be excellent or shitty.

Television:

Not a big fan.

Books:

Pretty much anything. Lately I've been reading Haruki Murakami, Stephen R. Donaldson, Robert A. Heinlein, Jack Kerouac and other stuff.

Heroes:

Have to get back to you on this one.

My Blog

Guess I Should Write Something

So, I've been a complete slacker with the whole MySpace thing. It's hard to do, though, when you don't have an internet connection. I have one now! So I've been doing a lot of shows lately. I put a co...

Better Late Than Never

I haven't written anything here in a while, so I figured I'd finally get around to it. Here are things, quick and dirty. I worked out the stuff between my dad and I. That's good. I started working at ...

Shi-tay!

Ok, this has to be quick because I don't have much internet time. Here's how things stand. My house burned down about 2 weeks ago. I lost almost everything I own, but everyone was ok. I went to a "med...

The Good, The Bad, and The...Ugly?

Sorry to those of you who read this stuff. I've been a bit busy for a while. Doing what you might ask? None of your god damn business I say! OK, so it's not really like that. As the title of this thin...

I have a problem with my motorcycle

Let me preface this by saying that I love my bike (I named her Shadowfax, lame yes but I figured it to be rather fitting for a Honda Shadow Sabre painted with shadow flames) but there are a few drawba...

The Awful Truth

I think it's about time I let everyone (well no one to be acurate) know about my horrible secret. This is hard..Anyway, shortly after moving to Kansas I was diagnosed with chronic depression with elem...

Ummm...what's going on?

Ok, I'm just writing this because I'm a bit wierded out. For some reason there seems to be a lot of people looking at my profile and reading my blogs, but oddly I have no messages or comments and...

Why I may be the antichrist.

Depending on who you ask there might be a variety of reasons people will give as to why I might be the devil. The horns and tail could be a dead giveaway, but there are more subtle reasons. Let me go ...

What happened to consideration?

I always try to be a gentleman and do the right thing. As with most people, it doesn't always work out that what I do ends up being the right thing, but I do my best. Anyway, people don't seem to appr...

The Man

I finally became my worst nightmare, something I always vowed never to become. I'm working a 9 to 5 job sitting behind a desk and working on a computer. The man got me! I never thought it would happen...
