About Me

I live in a metal shack with a stunningly conceived and implemented interior. I travel. I bitch about politics and the steady decline of our society into intolerance and green house-hellish heat. I can make you laugh. If I can't make you laugh, you need to lighten the fuck up. I pierced my own tongue in 11th grade. I don't wear it anymore, not really what people look for in their financial services professional. The hole is still there though, probably because I used a huge Hypodermic needle from the Ag supply store. I like water, and not just in that "Because it's 70% of my body" way. I mean I REALLLY like water. Especially when it's malted with hops and wheat.Check my website Orionk.org

My Interests

Politics. Secession. Photography. Bikes. Baking Things. Words. Books. Self Flagellation. Surfing. Snowboarding, Kiteboarding. Being unemployed on a beach.

I'd like to meet:

People less neurotic than myself. Applicants will be accepted on a case by case basis. Except that basicallly everyone is less neurotic. So less neurotic than me, but more neurotic than... oh I don't know, that friend of yours who is in a stable loving relationship/marriage who does the dishes every night and never has more than 2 drinks in a night and arrives 15 minutes early for events and... oh you get the point, because that dude/girl is BORING.
