I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a singer/songwriter/professional musician/small business owner/racecar pilot/astronaut/rodeo cowboy/rocket surgeon/newcountrysucks/old trucks/motorcycles with one seat/women who, past 30, still dot their "i"s with little hearts/country and western rhythm and blues/flat black with flames/red hubs/tuck and roll/Holstein/old furniture but not fancy antique shit cause I like to put my feet up/uses a lot of colloquialisms like nuttier than squirrel shit, and tougher than boiled owl kinda guy.I either go too far or I don't go at all, and the middle ground can go fuck itself. Mediocrity gives me hives. I love fearlessly, drink too much, and the only way to offend me is by talkin' shit about my friends with your mouth full. My tolerance for pain is matched only by my tolerance for whiskey, so bring it, but be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences. Eight out of ten people surveyed will tell you I'm an asshole, but I'm workin' on it. I hope to have it up to nine by newyears. I'm not for the faint of heart. At all.
You are now marked on my profile visitor map!

My Interests

Makin Music, Horses, Bikes, Women, Cars, Jack Daniels, Spiritual Enlightenment. In That Order.

I'd like to meet:

People with smarts. Book. Street. Art. Whatever. People who are bold enough to make decisions. I value communication above all things. If we communicate with one another, anything is possible. If I don't know you, at least in passing, and you friend request me without a note as to the reason why, i won't add you. I struggle to keep up with people i can actually see in my town as it is. That said, I have a few friends I've met on here from all over and I'm sure glad I met them, so don't be shy. Just have a reason

Music:

Shania Twain and Tim McGraw are helping Allan Jackson kill country and western music, so I cant say country, but I like Ernest Tubb. Rhythm and Blues not R and B. R.A.W.K., not rock. Blazing Haley yes, Tiger Army no. Tom Waits, except for the stuff that sounds like someone killing a narwhal with a backhoe, and the Supersuckers sound just like the Eagles, but the Eagles had better Guitar solos.

Movies:

Stuff with a point. Art films go right past me. I'm slightly offended that Kevin Costner makes so many films about subjects I love when I'd rather not contribute to his career. Harrison Ford should stop making movies until he can figure out how he got from American Grafitti/Star Wars/Blade Runner to Airforce One. Chick flicks make me cry. I'm 6' 210ish. Go ahead. Tease me about it to my face. I dare ya.

Television:

no

Books:

Historical fiction, Biographies, Conspiracy Theory.

Heroes:

Johnny Cash, Charles Bukowski, Ronald McDonald, Wyatt Earp
