Please excuse the mess... One day I'll get this crap edited down to a suitable length.

I'm a total nerd for a lot of things! From literature, art, philosophy & films to D&D, video games, astrophysics, and Animal Collective. And a lot more in-between, there are just so many interesting things in this world worth geeking out for ;)

I was home schooled from the time I was in first grade until the
time I walked out on it when I was 18. This has left me with some
social ineptitude or perhaps narcissism. It's hard to say which
statement is more accurate. Also, the idea of being "socially
inept" is a fallacy because the standard for social interaction
varies from person to person, era to era, society to society, and
etc. what I'm trying to say is that I'm a little awkward at first or at times, but I'm aware of it so I at least try to make it cute and charming...

I was raised by a pack of ravenous women and girls growing up and
as such, I have a much stronger effeminate side than even metro
sexual[s] I've met. So if you're looking for a testosterone driven macho man I'm probably not for you.

I was also raised by a now 85 year old father, he was three years old during the Great Depression and remembers standing in soup lines, he fought in WWII, he's one of the hardest workers I've ever known. He's got class like Frank and Dean and is a gentleman through and through. He raised me to be a gentleman.

I'm an intellectual, I love discussing and sharing knowledge.

I'm an artist and designer of all sorts. I often make stuff for friends
to cheer them up or show them I care

I'll open the door for you not because you're a woman but because
it's the polite fucking thing to do, for anyone!

I like being straight forward, open, honest, and accountable. Even
when those things may not work to my advantage. That is what it
means to have real integrity, doing the right thing even if it may
hurt you. I'm proud to be this way and that inflates my ego. I also pride myself on my ability to swallow my pride.

I'm a godless bastard, sorry, I just don't need some invisible apparition in the sky watching my every move in order to make me a better person. Or to give me hope. Sure maybe I'm going to hell but that's between me and your god and I'll argue that out with him someday. What an interesting day that will be.

Currently I just moved back to Ohio after being a farmer in Northern California for a year. It was a great adventure!

I'm an animator, and good enough not to be following a pipe dream... I know because I've done some good work like animating for the TV show Archer on FX network... But because I want to do games I'm focusing on building a 3D portfolio while doing freelance animation, special effects, and motion design around Ohio.

Out of the box thinking & designing, analytical logical thought, video games, designing video games, not committing suicide, philosophy, arguing (or as I like to think of it, conversations where you put your mind on the line), cooking, baking, camping and survival skills, photography, cinematography, art, Snowboarding, being lazy, making up games in the backyard with whatever is around, animating, and generally anything I put my mind to.

I think anyone can be good at anything if they love it and apply themselves. I happen to love a lot of things.

I'm not wired like other people, I don't see the world like other people do... And at first you'll think I'm weird and or crazy, or maybe just wrong... But once you get to know me, you will see the reason in my rhyme... However, I'm kind of a hard person to get to know because of that initial 'weird' barrier...

Oh my Science, this is way to much to ask in only one section!

AUTHORS: Kurt Vonnegut, Philip Roth, Eiichiro Oda, Ayn Rand*, Philip K. Dick, Cormac McCarthy, Douglas Adams, Daniel Quinn, Neil Stephenson.

(I'd explain the asterisk on Ayn Rand, but that's a conversation of equal parts love and hate).

Oh and music... Anything from Frank Sinatra to Animal Collective but mostly Indie stuff. Although, I can find something I like in any genre of music.

Video Games: Mario, Zelda, Pikman, Mass Effect, MMO's a long time ago, Final Fantasy[s], Castlvanias, Metroids, Games From Tim Schaffer, Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Eco, Shadow of the colossus, Mist Walker Studio games, Atlas RPGs, oh this just goes on and on...

1: My oldest friends <3
2: pen and paper
3: Stories; especially One Piece <3 or something by Pixar.
4: stimulating and funny conversation
5: Coffee, tea, beers, etc. substances to lightly alter my mood
6: child labor in other countries... What, who else is going to make my cloths?

Anything and everything that is possibly human to think about... and somethings that may not be. I also like contradictions :)

Science!

Also, why do so many women on here act like it's the man's job to make stimulating conversation? Conversation is a two way street, it is as much my job to be interesting as it is yours.

Emotions and how those relate to the mechanics of actions. AKA why do people do the shit they do and think the way they do?

Recently;
How much I fucking hate this site.
How contradictory people are. Whatever happened to being self aware?

How FML is a misappropriated phrase unless you are something like a orphan soldier in Africa and you just watched your village slaughtered. If only the third world had twitter...

How I hate the stereotype that all men love big boobs. I hate how much I see this perpetuated in every corner of media, mostly to sell me -man, dumb shit.

A whaling mariner

If I could be gay, I totally would be! But being gay isn't a choice, so i can't :(

I like bananas, but I'm also afraid of them, true story.

I want to have an adventure on the high seas :)

Not private but interesting, my eyes change color based on light and clothing... I'm like a camelion or something :p

I have piercings... It's a long story.

I used to poop my pants... What, so did you.

You can identify and or make the noise of a dying giraffe...

You want to make a friend.

Okay seriously, if you're someone that understands it takes more than 20 mins or 2 emails to get to know someone. And you appreciate someone that will give you the same benefit.

You want to skip the messaging and just meet for coffee instead... Sure blindly meeting people is scary, but being brave is fun!
