About Me

Hello sea of old friends, old enemies.I'm back....I find myself adrift somewhere in the gulf of mexico. I've chosen not just a career, but a lifestyle. I am an offshore Tender/Diver. I work for Chet Morrison Contractors. I've lived, dove and worked off of every vessel they own.
I work my ass off on a normal day. Topping in at 12 hours minimum. I hope one day to set this money up in and follow my real dreams, wherever they may lie...
(But this is an exciting side track)
I used to live in Jacksonville, Fl. I was in school for commercial diving...no not scuba. But I did get certified in that, too.
Before that, It was Wildland Firefighting.
Before that, Welding.
I've bounced around alot in my early years. I think it's habit forming. I like to move.
Perhaps you remember me from St. Johns in Loveland,CO. Earlham elementary in Iowa? Or Iowa Christian Academy? Maybe from Licking high school in Missouri? Forsyth class of '04? Perhaps you've seen me on a fireline somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Perhaps you don't even remember me at all...
Enjoy laughing at my life as I play out the drama everyday.

My Interests

I love playing guitar I do it for hours at a time. I love music and poetry. Literature. Any form of art and creative self-expression. Free Myspace Pictures

I'd like to meet:

Bob Dylan, Saul Williams, Aristotle, Mark Twain, Maynard James Keenan, Jimmy Page, Aldous Huxley, Jesus, Timothy Leary, Trent Reznor, Tom Morello, Sun Tzu...So many I can't count em all.
Your Rising Sign is Gemini
You often feel torn between two dominant personalities.
Sometimes you're adaptable and friendly; other times indecisive and unsure.

No matter what, you're the life of the party or conversation.
Witty and talkative, you entertain with your stories and gossip.

It's a bit difficult for you to finish what you start - jobs, friendships, relationships...
There's so much you want to try. You often bite off more than you can chew. What's Your Rising Sign?

You are in it for the love of the music...
And you couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
You're all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
You may not have the fame and glory, but you have complete control of your career. What Kind of Rocker Are You?

Another sidetrack...

The rush as we walked.Calmly up the porch steps.I can't believe I'm doing this..."This bastard can't keep his hands off his kids." "So I'll think I'll relieve him of his."Cracking a smile stretching ...

The sidetrack

And dawn comes creeping in.Through the burgundy drapes And the empty bottle of gin.Letting the first fingers of lightGet a good grip on what's to come.Remember only to try and forgetWhat exactly happ...

The Third 200 miles

Sometime before Hot Springs that morning.Between Bob Dylan and the fading station's hiss.Winter's cold hand is starting to lose it's grip.With every mile and every gallon of gas.Every thing in ...

The Second 200 miles

Some kind of tranquility.Cigarettes and Coffee.Nowhere has a truck stop. And so I think to myselfAnd wonder if he's thinking the same.The ultimate in tragedy...Extrapolating the truth.From each other....

The first 200 miles

The Pewter '81 Olds pushes on through the frail wind. Past the fields laden with snow.Stalks of corn risen and shaping small drifts.Maybe it's the rush of travel. Seeing the pasturesPasty and barren....

Paranoid Angst

I swear, sometimes, these walls are breathing. Even now, at this late hour. I can almost hear paranoid suggestions in the back of my head. Everyone possesses that wonderfully crazy quality, though. E...
