I take the crap life throws at me
and throw it back at life!
I've been through a lot,
hell and back to be precise.
It's all right, lessons have been learned.
For the best is always to be yearned.
If it's one thing I've kept in mind
it's that the best in life we all will find.
My main interests (in no particular order) are cars, racing, fire dancing, poi, music, drumming, Gothic culture, traveling/road-trips, hiking, volcano's, rock formations, cthulhu, Indian clothing/culture, Native American history, medieval reinactment, belly dancing, pirates, boating, fishing, off-roading and exotic animals (especially reptiles). There's more, just look in my interests list!
Fire dancing is one of my newest ventures. I've always watched firedancers perform, but never actually thought about learning the trade myself until now. Currently I'm learning how to spin poi and I am also teaching myself fire staff and fire wands. I'd really love to learn to perform like the groups Pyrosutra and Cosmic Fire .
I'm also a hand drummer, and drum mostly at gatherings and SCA events. I work with Djembe, Doumbek, Ashiko and Congas (although I don't have my own set of congas... yet), but about the only traditional sets I play are Doumbek rhythms. The rest are purely my own. So if you're looking for another hand drummer in the area... look me up, I'm always down to practice.
I'm working on completing performance upgrades on my 1992 Honda Civic and 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T. That involves learning how to do more mechanical work on my cars-slowly getting there! Hey, at least I can do the basics and some of the intermediate crapola. I'm also hopefully doing a few performance upgrades on my Dodge Dakota (mostly for offroading purposes.)

The colors I fly...
Friends, family and my pets are the most important things in my life. I'll never let any of them down no matter the situation.
Just an FYI... 90% of the people on my friends list are people who I know in RL. I'm not a "friend collector", this is how I keep in touch with everyone. So if I add you, it's because I know you in person, I would like to know you in person or I talk to you a lot and you're in another state. :)
