About Me

I'm the type of guy, both quiet and shy
The type to let a situation pass me by.
Higher than a kite on the current I fly by
I don't know why I would rather cry than try.

Even when I see what could be my destiny,
More content than free I'm content to let fate see

If you're a freak like me. Are you a freak like me?

My real name is Tim. I write music , poetry, paint, draw, sculpt, fish, hike, go out to see live music, appreciate other cultures, build things, grow things, raise kids...

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and didn't care for it. Now I am on the edge of somewhere, and I kind of like it...

Call me a bigot but I hate raccoons and squirrels(they are part of a conspiracy whose sole aim is to destroy my house).Not all raccoons and squirrels, just the ones on my block.

I am intelligent, funny(to my 5 year old daughter), anal about my space,laid back otherwise, overworked, underpaid...

My Interests

Music,Poetry, art(painting, drawing, sculpture, folk, outsider), fishing, camping, hiking, coffee.

I'd like to meet:

People that have a passion for what interests them, especially if it is something that interests me. Other musicians, artists, animists, people with employee discounts at home centers, record stores, bike shops. You, if you think you can handle it.
