About Me

Hmmm, what to say that won’t scare you all away? I suppose you can get most of the lowdown here and there on the rest of my space but the worst first, then on to the good stuff.…a million years ago I used to be a nationally ranked professional motorbike dirt track racer and broke my neck in a racing accident. I am paralyzed from the chest down, have used a wheelchair since I was seventeen. No big deal, don’t go running and screaming. I’m not one of those politically correct gimps or a Chris Reeves type. I just got hurt and deal with what I have to deal with.
Now, good stuff I hope. I’m pretty easy to get along with, just don’t screw with me. If you need to play games go elsewhere.
I am generally silly, like to laugh. For the life of me I wish I could be funny whilst writing though. I’d like to think that I am fairly balanced in my life too. I have an art degree, specialized in ceramic sculpture and glaze technology. I enjoy physical labour, building things, construction, building motorbikes and such. I love animals, blues music but many other genres, art in general but in particular Japanese ceramics ( my focus in college -- doing, not just looking) flower gardening, daydreaming, sleeping through a thunderstorm, hearing rain hit the top of the car while sitting in the driveway, digging holes, raking, car eating, pretty women, pinup gals, custom street bikes but not faker trailer queens, architecture of homes like English cottages, Craftsman style, Japanese. Auto racing, baking sweet goods like coffee cake and doughnuts, liberal politics, trying to learn the guitar on my own-Help! Photography, oriental art. I guess that’s enough for you to get the idea. I’ll put more in a blog.
Oh, by the way, I don’t eat cars, I mean I like eating in the car.
What I like:
Life.Animals, animals, animals. People who are inquisitive, positive attitudes, people who excel at a chosen endeavor, happiness, hippie girls of all ages, Goth girls, Pinup girls, biker babes, Burlesque women,black stockings on nice girlie legs, people who try, people who aren’t afraid of their emotions, people who try and fail but don’t give up. People who plant trees and love animals. Nurses who still wear skirts. Frogs. Those rare occasions that I can sleep the whole night through. The smell of puppies. Scottish Highland cattle. Flirting.
Places I’d like to visit:
Japan, Netherlands, Denmark, England, Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Zambia to see the women’s mining/gem co-op.
