About Me

I'm 35, 5'9" and 175lbs. I Skateboard in the local parks, and go to local shows. I have a good job that is grown up unlike me, but the crazy hair scares the customers some. I was a commercial photographer here in Kansas City for the past 10 years while working part time at bars, and driving Ambulances. I sold my partnership in the studio in Crossroads and now work for a Internet startup, though I don't really know how to explain what my job actually is. I still do freelance photography, though I hate the term freelance, it always sounds so amature. I'm into art and just purchased a Litchenstein. I'm a unintentional computer dork, it just happeded, I try to balance it with punk rock, singlespeeds and skateboarding. I have climbed lots of mountains and hiked many miles of trail, I usually get to snowboard for a week or so each year.

Here is where I will make some people upset, well just take it. I am an atheist, not an agnostic, an ATHEIST. I do not believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Satan, Nephi, Heaven, Hell or any Miracle, ancient or modern that can't be proven as a miracle (none are proven). What I do believe in is that mankind or humanity can unify to find a better course through it's greater intelligence. I am not a immoral person, in fact EVERY christian I have met in my life has more moral work to do than I. Christians are doing the right thing to please an invented higher power, so they do not get a punishment, or get a reward later in death (heaven & Hell). I am just doing it because doing the right thing makes the world a better place for future generations. I like to do the right thing, even though I won't be rewarded. I will just be dead when I'm dead, people will be rewarded by the good things I did for the world after I have gone. I am posting this because those that know me well, do understand my beliefs, and understand that I may not agree with theirs. I will not fault those that choose to hold on to irrational beliefs, it is a comfort to many. I will not tolerate those that wish to push irrational beliefs on to others using fear (hell) or bargaining (heaven). Remember... just because so many believe in this, does not mean that it has to be true, or because the Bible says so... (circular logic).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that will save my soul and bring me to Jesus......LOL how about people that are actually open minded. Not looking for dates or a relationship, I've got that covered. People that like to go to shows, and want too have a buddy to go to them on weekdays so we have someone to chat with when the room is full of Pillow-Bitting EMO whiners. Someone that can enjoy picking on these types may get free drinks, shots if you become more brutal with the comments as you get more intoxicated. I do not want to meet or add to my friendslist any "Webcam girls", you bore me and you should get a real job. Don't add me unless you know me, met me or have similar interests. I like to add bands and other artists / writers that are cool. Just write me and request like an inteligent person if you want me to add you and I dont know you...
