When the days just seem to fall through you, just let them go

About Me

~You don't think I'd post my whole life story on the Internet do you? Nah. You just gotta find out for yourself. I mean I could say anything on here like I fly planes, or I'm a sushi chef - which are truthfully just far off aspirations.So for the time being, let's just say I'm a famous astrophysicist who's gonna cure cancer - next week. ~

My Interests

long walks off the plank, little dealings, slide guitar, body language, 1950’s Tiki lounges, hot springs, people watching, tellin stories, dvds, tea, coffee, glaciers, bugs, using a compass. Russian history and culture, Inappropriate capitalizaTion, frost covered fields, music theory, travel, leisure and other people's leisure, photos, Absinthe, Euro tribal history, commuting, having things stolen from me or borrowed and never given back, being perfect, letting go of the Eggo, foosball, Belgian ale, Canada, connecting the dots, Greek mythology, the god Odinn, antique thinking, answering never-ending questions about my tattoo - this is the word 'asimian,' preparing my deluxe luxury suite in Hades oh wait … it’s done.

I'd like to meet:
