I feel like I am alone on a 2 person bicycle.

About Me

First off, I really don't look like my pictures. I am horribly un-photogenic. Ask anyone who has ever taken a picture of me. But if you are going to judge me by a photo on this confounded contraption, then I really don't have room for someone like you in my life anyway. Not like I care what you thought in the first place.
I speak in movie quotes and obscure pop culture references. I sometimes use odd large words and I have a bad habit of the word I am looking for being on the tip of my tongue. I fit no stereotypes or cliques or groups or what have you. That is a pleasing thought. Definitely a "get to know me" person. I may not be the most outgoing person in the world but after I warm up, I will end up entertaining you a good bit. I try to be nice to everyone. I treasure all of the people that I can actually consider my "friend" and they know it because I bend over backwards to help them out with anything they ask.

Long drives allowing me peaceful time to think and ponder my existence and question the purpose of reality and consciousness and further explore my theories on life, energy, love, and the future of the human condition = : D

My Interests


In no particular order....

Writing, Christianity, Music, Tattoos, Piercings, Movies, Fitness, Art, Photography, Architecture, Graphic Design, Computers, People Watching, Dogs, Animals, Building Anything, Anything with a motor (cars, trucks, bikes etc.), Poetry, Determination, Honesty, Language, Science, History, Creativity,


I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is the least bit capable of carrying one half of an intelligent conversation. I am always interested in meeting new people and learning what I can from them. I will probably not deny anyone who sends me a friend request, unless you are a band I don't know of and don't like. I am not one of those people who think they are too good to have any more friends. But I do ask that you please talk to me or something. I do not enjoy being one of your 16654321665321 friends and never hearing anything from you.

And last but not least, I would like to meet my paragon, who haunts my dreams from time to time. She's out there somewhere..

"...then everything was choked and smothered within her. The grass turned black, day was no longer day nor night any longer night, but both merely infernal machines which alternately provided, as part of her torture, periods of light and darkness. Cool water made her nauseous. She felt as though she were a statue of ashes - bitter, useless, damned - like the salt statues of Gomorrah. For she was guilty."
