About Me

"Every man has in himslef virtures & vices enow to make a good or a wicked man & so they are called according to the light in which we view them. The friend and the enemy give'em thier names." AlexanderPope............................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ......................... ADAM MOTES: Casual Hero, World Whitewater Paddler, Smuggler, Mercenary, and the Last Intergalatic Shakedown Ninja....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ................................I come form a long line of boot leggers like my boy Jakey Sullins, Catholic Knights, OUTLAWS, Law Enforcement and Military Personnel.One day I hope to expatriote outta here and live where the rivers flow and waves always break, no winter just dry and wet season. I wear my surf trunks baggie, my hats boonie style and sometimes backwards---all the time. Dressing up is tucking the front of my shirt in. If I could live off any food it would be sandwhiches and water. I am a natural born leader, but don't use it for anything good, I lead people astray and on the wildest of adventures. I am a thinker and like the most complex of manuvers. I stay up late and rise early. I play and work hard. Water is my true passion. I have kayaks, surfboards and snowboards galore. I thirve on the weather and the next big adventure no matter where it is or where it takes me. I believe that not all that wander are lost. Some of my life's experiences have including, but not centered around used cars, used women, used guns, used kayaks, general mayhem, Feloniuos Debauchery, world expedition guiding, bush piloting, getaway driving, acts that would make a super hero blush, bars emptied and closed, frauds formulated, plans carried out, pandemonium and choas encouraged, tigers striped, dragons slayed, and of course damsels rescued.......................Some things I think everyone should accompilsh as a lifestyler are: Name a spot;kayaking, surfing, hideout whatever give it a name and make it stick. Whatever you do look like an addict--yes it is your anti-drug. Disappear sometimes, go somewhere it would take days to weeks to find you or recover the body--a true life adventure. Use your staus to get lucky. Teach someone to do something fun they would have never ventured out on thier own to accompilish. Make a wrong turn and make it work for you. Get a camera and make a movie or take a lot of pictures. And last, at least once come to someones rescue...................................................... ............................................................ .....................I have had and am still having more fun than watching the entire Mexican Airforce crash-land in a liquid petroleum gas storage facility. Go figure.....
