Somewhere between happy and total fucking wreck

About Me


Photographer/Writer/Model/Fork Lift Operator/Movin Man/Bartender/Server..... last but not least licensing coordinator. For those of you i know from college.. yeah this is "cowboy". After 5 years i thought the nickname would begin to fade..... i was wrong.
So yeah i'm a bleeding heart commie liberal.... I hardly drink anymore but i still love to go out with some friends and stay out till sunrise being crazy. I realized i'm crazy enough without the booze and its cheaper that way......................................................... ............................................................ ..........1982: The Year of the Dog In the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this Sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However, this Sign has trouble trusting others. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- except for the occasional "little white lies" the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. At these times the Dog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at stake. This Sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this Sign is happiest when able to be quite physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work ..ling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.

My Interests

Photography is a major interest, and my one artistic talent. I've done work with local bands, portrait work, and i've starting getting into some 3D photo processes. Sports are another outlet for me (yeah i'm a broken down ex college athlete). Along with anything that gets outside and active camping, kayaking, rock climbing, blading, skateboarding (mostly me skateboarding is for the entertainment of those with me who can watch me face plant several times and laugh), the gym, and biking the streets of Baltimore trying not to slam into people who drive like assholes in this town... YEAH TALKING TO YOU MR WHITE VAN WHO CUT ME OFF!... causing me to smack shoulder first into your cargo door before you sped off..... DICK!!.

I'd like to meet:
