I have a bad temper and a baseball bat

About Me


The only thing that matters is just following your heart... and eventually you'll finally get it right - We'll drink cheap wine and watch for shooting stars
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels. The troublemakers. The problem child. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them".
I've had a fairly eventful life thus far. Hence I am openminded and able to talk to and understand pretty much anyone. I guess you could say i'm pretty alternative in my outlook with hippie leanings.
I'm a complete paradox/I think *way* outside the box/Perfectionist tendencies/I love a good debate - even better if said debate is carried out over a seriously large drink, late at night - even all night/ I love to sit around a fire with friends / I'm always interested in what people have to say/I love travel once i've started/I hate routine/I love incense/I probably spend far too much time thinking - All nicely summed up with the word: COMPLEX (hopefully in a good way...:) oh and compliance with authority isn't a strong point of mine... ;)
Take the quiz: "Which Dead Rock Star Are You?"

Kurt Cobain
You are Kurt Cobain! You're grundgy, twisted and very talented. You have a certain charm and individuality that sets you a part from many. You are beautiful! Oh, he died in 1994 from a gun shot wound to the mouth. Suicide.

My Interests

Anything which captures my imagination... music being a main-stay but also into tattoos, piercings and having the odd beer ;)

I'd like to meet:

Everyone has a gripping stranger in their lives, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it's the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing white shoulders who stamps your book at the library - a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying, "Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida," you'd follow them.

That stranger... and/or...

Anyone who thinks outside the box... Anyone who isn't into routine... Anyone with an open mind... Anyone who isn't afraid to show how they really feel... I guess anyone who has a different outlook on life... the only prerequisites I have are that you can hold an intelligent conversation and you're genuine

You Are a Traveler Soul
You're a thrill seeker who loves to be active and on the move
You love to wander: between places, ideas, and people.
A good communicator, you're a nonconformist and interested in the world.
You are an explorer, a good storyteller, and a true dreamer.

Because you're always on the move, you can be a bit fickle.
It's difficult for you to make personal commitments.
Don't be so quick to ignore emotional issues and problems.
You're much more intuitive and psychic than you think.

Souls you are most compatible with: Retrospective Soul and Dreaming Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

Disease of the masses...

I had cause to venture into my local supermarket earlier today and, wandering the "oh-so glamourous" aisles fairly aimlessly just to kill time, suddenly became wholly despondent about the meanderings ...
