About Me

Described as an "old soul" by some but can wreck it up with the youngin's any time. Into all that is vintage (fashion, makeup, art, cars, etc.). Into destinationless driving, comfortable silences, eye contact, people watching, surrendering to the sillys, everlasting novelty, common sense, respect, open minds, untainted perspectives of youth, enlightened perspectives of veterans, gut bustin' laughter, perseverance, sarcasm, intelligence void of superiority complexes, and "creative" terminology. I avoid drama like the plague unless it can be watched from a comfortable distance. Through my difficult experiences I have learned many things... above all, to be grateful and appreciate the little things. A psych buff ... but please don't ask for a drive-by mental analysis (unless you pay me accordingly). I like making tough guys squirm and squirmy guys tough. Enjoy being in the company of real mofo's that don't trip on the trivial and see the beauty in the details. And if you ever witness a sharp decline in my sense of humor it likely means one of four things.... I'm hungry, cold, have to pee, or you just ain't that funny.
If you lack the iron and the fizz to take control of your own life, then the gods will repay your weakness by having a grin or two at your expense. Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don't be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked. -Tom Robbins-
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. -Norman Cousins-
