Greetings!
Before I get down to business, please look at my simple requests:
FIRST: I'M VERY HAPPILY MARRIED and NOT looking for anyone to flirt with, so please don't try to contact me for any reason other than to network or talk about common interests. In other words, Einstein, don't send me e-mails that call me "Honey" in the title when you don't even know me...
SECOND: I ask that you ONLY REQUEST TO BE MY FRIEND IF YOU TRULY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH ME THAT I'M INTERESTED IN. I don't want a bunch of "friends" that I have no interest in corresponding with, who just want to add me because my profile looks "cool".
And if you're a guy just filling your friend list up with hot chicks and porn stars, GO FASCINATE SOMEONE ELSE because I'll deny your request.
Sorry, but I don't add many bands, and I don't like getting a load of re-posted "spam" bulletins. They're a pet peeve of mine along with people who stick you on a list and forward every funny thing they get via e-mail, so if you like to re-post bulletins, don't be offended if I delete you - it's nothing personal.
Ah - if you only knew WHY he was smiling...
OK, now that I've said that, let me tell you that I'm a 41-year-old who was born in East Lansing, Michigan.
I'm the middle school/high school DORK you used to pick on who somehow turned out to be pretty cool.Lived in the Big Mitten for 36 years enduring hellish winters, then finally flew the coop for warmer weather and now live on Hilton Head Island in SC (also known as "Hurtin' Head Island due to residents' tendancy toward drinking in excess) ;)
Met my wonderful husband Travus down here in August of 2004 and we got married in Las Vegas in April of 2005. Elvis was IN THE HOUSE!!!
OK, YES - I like to do things differently than most people. NORMAL IS BORING!!!!
Here's a picture of my Mom - gee, I wonder where I get the "Normal is Boring" attitude...
I work for a small but well-established telecommunications company on the island in the NOC (Network Operations Center)/test and turnup group. Work is pretty crazy as we often work with Wall Street traders to get them back up and working when their trading circuits go down. We also have large customers in the television and radio business as well as providing and managing circuits for everyone from government agencies to junk yards.
I bought a beautifully restored 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 at the end of the summer. (I also bought the matching-numbers, newly-rebuilt 350 HO engine that came in it originally). I've always wanted a true muscle car, and when this opportunity presented itself, I would've been stupid not to take it.
The car already has the nickname "Possum" because my husband ran over a possum the first time he drove it. LOL! Our muscle car is a redneck...
Here's my '99 LS1 Trans Am - now it's got an older brother to play with! I really wonder which one is faster...may need to find that out soon... If my research is correct, the '68 400 motor is listed stock at 330 hp, and my '99 TA is stock at 305, plus the K&N cold air filter box I have on it adds about 15 hp. Bottom line: THEY BOTH HAUL ASS.
I've been working on my collection of tattoos for 17 years now - current artist is Marcus Dove from Smiling Buddha in Savannah, GA. I've had assorted layouts and pics in many biker/tattoo mags thanks to my photographer friend Billy Tinney and his wife Tammy who I met in 1993.
Been riding a Harley for 12 years now. Started on an assembled 1982 1000 cc ironhead Sportster and rode her for 9 years, then bought my current bike, a 2000 Road King Classic with a 95 inch big bore engine.
Most recent bike journey was to the Myrtle Beach Fall Rally, and we also hit the Virginia Beach Bike Classic in May 2006. We're giving Daytona a break for awhile - tired of the crowds, rude hotel staff and getting gouged. I also want to ride to Sturgis sometime before I croak...

K - now for something completely different. Ya know how in Playboy they put in the centerfold's Turn Ons and Turn Offs? Well, here are some of MINE:
TURN ONS: Honesty, integrity, loyalty, maturity, uniqueness, A man who doesn't need to PROVE ANYTHING because he is secure in himself (my husband), good friends, champagne, Taco Bell, the sound of my Harley, the SMELL of a hot bike on my clothes when I'm done riding, leather, stuff that makes me laugh, Top Fuel dragsters & bikes, and getting a snootful of nitro at the starting line, people who don't take themselves too seriously, the "THOOMP!!" of the compression blast from an AR-15 when you fire it, the hot sun on my butt.
At the starting line in Rockingham, NC - AHDRA Drags
Someone better call a hand check on that gator - he's trying to work some "gator magic" on me... Damn - this ride is bumpy too!
My dearest friend in the world, Kim and I, taking a break from being responsible adults...
Boy, I clean up good, don't I?
Just call me "Barf" like in "Spaceballs"...
TURN OFFS: Stoopid people, greedy people, selfishness, dishonesty, jealousy, arrogance, laziness, bullsh*t, know-it-alls, bad drivers, fart-bomb cars and spiders. There are more, but I can't think of them right now.
