I should have been born in the 40's or 50's.

I'm terrible at spelling and grammar. I'm fascinated my physics and space and history. But my mind doesn't want to remember that stuff, i see everything in a mechanical artsy kinda way.

I spend alot of time working on cars, completely rebuilding a classic. I have a shop full of stuff where i do metal work and alot of woodworking. I've worked extremely hard to get a shop, and if it were up to me id spend the rest of my days making cool thing and neat furniture.

Id love to get into architecture preservation, there are far to many historic buildings that get knocked down to put up a cvs or what have you. There beautiful buildings with exquisite craftsmanship, and History.

Though i have a thing for abandoned buildings, mostly industrial and asylums and the like. This a whole other conversation in itself.

Some things ive done and some photos ive taken. haven't updated in a while though.

Currently I'm trying to finish a degree in drafting and machine shop technology. I get to play with really expensive stuff, it's awesome! I can draw things and make machines make them for me. I also work for a small construction company doing just about everything that doesn't involve a roof.

I've recently had the chance to work on some of the biggest events in and around Atlantic city, music wise. Meet some great people and saw some really cool stuff, and lost a lot of sleep. Seeing the sun rise on the way into and out of work without having seen it set can throw you for a loop.

I also work as a technician/ carpenter at a local college and high school, where ill do anything from design and build complex set pieces to lighting work to running shows backstage.

Being awkward, Remembering completely irrelevant events in horrifying detail. Attracting people who have a love affair with the Oxford comma. Day dreaming. Finding places and things with interesting histories. Drafting designing, macgyvering and making it look professional. Getting lost for fun.

I'm a lifetime behind on my movies and don't get much of a chance to read.
Music has become an increasingly important part of my life. RHCP, the Beatles, zeppelin, Skynyrd, tom petty, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, jeff lynn, the traveling wilburys, rl burnside, doo woop, delta blues, blues, jazz, johnny cash. i do listen to some of todays stuff, some rap and whatnot, sara bareilles is probably my favorite modern artist, as she is actually talented, and doesnt feel she has to use sex to sell her misic, though shes is absolutly georgious. but most of today's music has no soul so i don't consider it good music.

I watch alot of the history channel and related networks. but also watch alot of family guy, big bang theory, was a big house fan. everything else ill watch as background noise while i do other stuff.

I don't understand food, i survive on a steady diet of pizza and wawa pretzels and possibly photosynthesis.

People, places, things, social interactions or lack there of. Things as they are, things as they were. Why some things come easy, but easy things are so hard.

more then likely working or doing nothing. I've recently learned to appreciate a good outing, hope to do it more often.
