About Me

I'm left handed
right brained
like to paint but prefer oil to acrylic
quit smoking last June so almost a year now
I want to ride an elephant
I can play the guitar and trumpet
I know some great cuss words in Russian
I am a member of Mensa but not a genius. More of a suineg which is upside down for nincumpoop.
I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I bless EVERYONE when they sneeze
Sometimes I forget punctuation.
I love people who wave when you let them into your lane.
The last two years of my life have been swallowed up by writing/directing a feature film called "Death Perception." It's finally completed and now I will try my hand at the film festival circuit with all the other monkeys. We shall see. I had an excuse to get all of my friends together for art and there is NOTHING more fun and fulfilling. The movie has a trailer on www.deathperceptionmovie.com if anyone's at all interested in watching it.
I grew up without much television. I mean I saw it at times, at friends houses and whatnot. But never even close to regularly. So with my mothers encouragement I began reading steven king around 7 years old. That lead to clive barker, then to philosophy, catcher in the rye, 1984, sartre. Horror, philosophy, and biographies were the ones that always caught my attention. I always liked the idea of being able to learn from mens mistakes and observations from hundreds of years before me. Not that I do so much. I just get off on trying.Im not religious however I am very spiritual. In MY way, not YOUR way.I have the most amazing friends. I love them more than anything. They are my family away from Texas. I'd do anything for them.div

My Interests

making films, portraying other people, playing music, writing, oil painting, THE COUNTRY, friends and family which by the time your my age is synonymous almost.I am interested in people without negativity and who are fighting for their own personal revolutons. Whatever that may be.

I'd like to meet:

i like brave people, people who wave when you let them into your lane, people who appreciate the country, people who make decisions easily and stick to them, people who can act insanely retarded and laugh at themselves, AMBITION is my most important trait i seek in others, i dont care what your dreams are but there has to be SOMETHING that you dream about at night before you fall asleep, or think about when your in the backseat of a friends car staring out the window while everyone else is yelling but for some reason you've become contemplative, whatever it is doesnt matter. Nor does how out of reach it might be. I want to be around those who like me believe that it is not the attainment of ones dream that defines you, its the extent to which you persued it.
