mono-culturalism is incest of the mind

About Me

i'm a father, musician, carpenter. i'm open-minded, anti-racist, with an international world view. i'm unconventional, i do my own thing, and i don't really care what anyone else thinks of me. i smoke weed daily, drink occasionally, and generally like to just be mellow. i try to avoid drama when i can (even i have been prone to dramatics on occasion). i play multiple instruments and have been favoring the bass guitar lately. there isn't much better in this world than jamming with other awesome musicians.

My Interests

raisin' my daughter, music, smokin' weed, 1st person shooters, guinness, reading (particularly sci-fi & history), bicycling, aliens, minerology, cooking, intellectual conversation, playin' and recordin' music, meeting abnormal people, people watchin', seein' live music, bbq's, bein' myself, working-class politics, building shit, being pro-choice (fuck south dakota!), anti-racism, open-mindedness,
