About Me

I have a good friend who has a personal vendetta against myspace. He says it's for people with really fragile egos who need to display all of their friends' pictures on the web to make themselves seem like a big deal. Well here I am anyway. I am a big fan of bluegrass and old-timey music, and I am quickly working towards mediocrecy on the guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and harmonica. I am a bang up rythym guitarist for the barn dance band, "Instant Grits". I am saving towards a trip around the country in my truck camper. I'd like to keep it spontanious and just go wherever suits my fancy at the time. It's always been a dream of mine, and I figure I will regret it if I never do it. I've seen very few places outside Kansas, and now is a good time. "There is a Time for us to Wander. While Time is Young and so are We. The Grass is Greener Over Yonder. The Path is New. The World is Free."- The Dillards Some of the hippies I know call me a cowboy because I often wear boots, and button-up shirts, but a lot of the cowboys that I have met call me a hippie because I have long hair, have fairly liberal political views, and tend to worry about the enviroment. I don't really consider myself a hippie or a cowboy. Although I admire both.

My Interests

I'm a huge advocate for contra dancing. Imagine a dance where you are thrust into the arms of a new member of the opposite sex every thirty seconds. That's contra dancing. I love casually playing music with friends. I began about two years ago, and have used music as a release ever since. I enjoy listening to new bands a lot, and I am usually found at the local music shows. I hate to miss one. Silent Films. I like learning things that I consider "Life Skills". Like baking bread, bird calls, yoga, out of date sayings, story telling, and such. I finally grew out of the video game playing stage of my life about two years ago and try to learn things that will enrich my life instead of waste it. I try not to watch TV anymore either, but when there is one on I will watch it(uncontrolably). The video game thing is a little easier to quit since modern video games are losing my interest, but if there is a group of people playing an Atari, then I will usually end up playing it too. I would like to see the little obscure festivals throughout small town America. For instance: the National Grits Festival in Warwick, GA, or Lincoln Days in Lincoln, KS where they have a Lincoln look-alike contest every year ending with a parade of Lincolns and a dance. I have a friend who won that once. Although I seem shy at times, I love meeting new people, and trying to find some common ground with everyone I meet. Sex. I like waving to people I know when I walk downtown. Walking. Getting rained on. Fireplaces. I love cats and dogs, but I do not own any. I love children, but I do not own any. I like hopping fences and going where I'm not supposed too. I enjoy giving directions when I can, and I am not ashamed to ask directions. In fact, that's just one more excuse to stop and talk to people when your traveling. I prefer to take the backroads, and even gravel roads when I can. I am interested in finding a new way to live where I don't have to participate in the trivial rat race, and can continue being spontaneous for the rest of my life.

I'd like to meet:

People who are genuinely genuine.

Music:

.

Television:

The Family Guy, The Muppet Show, The Red Green Show, I'm sure there are more, but I don't really watch that much TV.

Books:

The Town and the City, Bound For Glory, Blue Highways, The Little Prince, Ridin' Free, Cat's Cradle, Where's Waldo?.

Heroes:

Hobos! Non-Government Farmers. Lt.Ehren Watada, Woody Guthrie.
