About Me

.. width="425" height="350" ..I love where I come from and where I live. Tried a couple other places, traveled to all 50 states and parts of Canada, and this place is where I belong. I'm another provincial masshole!I have some of the best friends in the world.I think I'm finally getting off my ass and getting back to writing. I need to do something before this big green head of my mine explodes. It's not easy being green. Also, I've thought abput starting a blog or an ezine. Either abput sustainability or about tattoos. Maybe both. Not the I have the time for either though.

My Interests

writing, music, family and friends, good beer, free beer, touring, ireland (history.culture), sustainability, books, apocalyptic science fiction, comics of all sorts, visual design/ printing/ publishing, walking, photography, tattoos, science, boston sports, being a fucking masshole, writing, getting drunk enough so that everyone has a good story to tell me about what happened the next day, being a complete fucking nutter and most people having no clue about it, organized crime...

I'd like to meet:

no one in particular. though someone to buy something I wrote, thus enabling me to open a brew pub, get a place to live for more than 6 months, and maybe help out some folks would be nice. or even someone who just wants to give me money for all of the above would be cool.
