Greetings All,
I'm basically a lefty and also a an open minded civil libertarian essentially against the concept of "victimless crime" among consenting adults.
I judge people by their behavior, not their conformity. Diversity of individual tastes, perspectives and motivations is natural for the intelligent and beautiful but dangerous monkeys that we are. "Norms" should demand civil behavior only, as far as they are legally binding. I'm straight. So gay marriage is not my concern or business.
Vote for me.
I'm a lifelong natural history nerd and animal lover, with a deep aesthetic appreciation for the elegant beauty and design of living things in their sadly decreasingly finite diversity. And since the Cambrian period, 540 million years ago. Female Homo sapiens is the most elegant and beautiful creature nature (God) has yet come up with.
Evolution is not rationally controversial.
I prefer moral philosophy over religion. I call myself an agnostic. I'm okay with "God" until it is given a definition. I like to think of it as "the mystery of existence". Or whatever.
I listen to rock music mostly. NO metal. 50s-60s-70s (art, glam, punk). 80s and later post punk, grunge, "alternative". I enjoy some of most varieties of music from everywhere across time, especially performed live, except heavy metal rock. I enjoy dancing if I can fake it.
I left Hollywood in 95. I'm a country boy now. Haven't listened to much new music. But I like Gaga more than Ke$ha and Bieber. RIP Amy Winehouse. She was great. Beethoven is my favorite old composer. No matter. Music is just personal taste.
I enjoy reading and writing. Mostly nonfiction. Essays, debates, or a little humor. I don't know how to write fiction. I guess I could just lie and call it nonfiction. That would make it fiction. Right? Like that guy who wrote 'A Million Little Pieces'.
I draw. Pencil, pen and ink. Definitely not world class but not bad. I've done scientific illustration, ink line and stipple. And "underground" cartoon style drawing. I like mostly pre abstract fine art. And decadent and erotic and decadent erotic art and lowbrow surrealism, etc.
Life is tragic, hilarious and beautiful. Fascinating and boring. Fulfilling and frustrating. Agony and ecstasy. All temporary.
Enjoy the ride as best you can.
Is this kind of a self summary? Part of one I guess. Or too much too soon? Let me know. I'm open to criticism and extortion.
Maybe I'll write more later. Or erase this. :-)
It's late. I'm tired. See you in my dreams.
Peace

I rent a 2 story cabin on the Russian river. Live upstairs, work downstairs. I prepare fossils commercially, and sell fossils and gems. Since 95. I'm suffering burnout right now. I like the results of my work but the process is meticulous and tedious. And it's like working in the Oklahoma dust bowl. I'm spending more time writing and drawing. For free. I need to decide what I want to be when I grow up. Again. I'd like to spend my remaining time here doing creative work. Preferably writing. Wm. Burroughs said "write about what you know". This is what I do. I need to make more $$. So I hope to transition to a creative career. Not easy with writing/art. But possible. Let's get married. You can support me.

Writing, drawing, finding and preparing rare and beautiful fossils. Humor, dressing myself and tying my own shoes.

My piercing blue eyes and tribal tattoos, apparently.

My favorite fiction is 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. My favorite nonfiction is 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea'. Hard to pick a favorite movie(s). Lord Jim, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Casablanca, Trash, Pink Flamingos, The Big Lebowski, Pan's Labyrinth off the top of my head. Six Feet Under was my favorite TV show. Old TV: Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek. I no longer watch TV but liked John Stewart and the Colbert Report. Breaking Bad. Listening to early Cramps as I write. Food: anything that moves. I like most food. Thai is a favorite. I love Mexican. Fast food: In and Out Burger only. Favorite wild meat: fox squirrel (as a child). Yum!

Biological necessities: air, water, food, shelter, and a terrestrial planet with a habitable biosphere. Love. Sex. Trilobites. Books. Bathtubs (water is included under biological necessities) with soap, shampoo and a razor. Freedom. That's seven. Sorry. Coffee. Eight. Sorry again.

My future endeavors. The state of the world. Undermining the status quo through writing, debating and introducing new and deviant perspectives. Coffee. Yen gau. Evolution. History. Glamour girls with shaved armpits and red toenails wearing opera length gloves and strapless cocktail dresses. Violent amazons. Trilobites. Cambrian paleontology, Mountain Kingsnakes. Cats. Protecting indigenous peoples and their cultures against boring Western Imperial conformist consumer monoculture. Ripe and juicy peaches.

Working, writing, drawing or hanging out with friends. Unless there is some special event I want to be at.

I sometimes jaywalk if it is safe to do so.

You want to. But I have begun seeing someone. And I am VERY enthusiastic about her. She's wonderful. I met her here, on OKC. Lucky me. So as of now, I am not available for dating. I may be somewhat "ADD", but she has 100% of my attention.
