Hello!
Time to write up a convincing commercial for myself, and on my first cup of coffee! Type in a semi-coherent fugue is probably more like it. You know, a fresh unpolished sample of me: before my shower, before breakfast, not quite yet willing to put on any music. Not as I'd meet you some evening, certainly, but perhaps as I might be on a morning afterwards.

By the power of inertia I hereby declare I am more or less awake! There, glad that's settled.
Hmmm....music+sleeping roommates=headphones. Right.
Something industrial coming right up. It's sunny, so a daytime sound rather than the usual night music...
How about Sister Machine Gun? Then maybe Machines Of Loving Grace. Great, my peculiar idiosyncrasy of associating songs with times of day or seasons is momentarily satisfied.

I should probably write something about myself in this "self-summary". Have I mentioned I like industrial music? Oh, I did?
Then I should go on to say I'm your typical Generation X alternative counterculture freak.
Give me the cyber/industrial, the punk, the goth, the metal, the hippie, and the beatnik. Give it it all up to me now for absorption into my electric brain.

I live in north Seattle. I know how to have a good time. I don't use hard drugs and I'm not an alcoholic, though I like the occasional strong drink and certainly believe in the religious significance of the psychedelic experience.

I think I'll boast a bit and say that while perhaps no athlete, I'm in incredible health. I can easily go biking for 40 miles, party all night, then ride ten miles back home afterwards like I did last Friday (3/1/13) when I got to go see Velvet Acid Christ at the Highline Bar. They have ginger bourbon there! I'll be back there soon, I'm sure. Maybe with you?

I have strong New Left political leanings and passionately hate politics and having to participate, which I do because it's my damned responsibility to be on the historical record as opposing today's outrageous policies.

I want to rock!

Shooting pool, and throwing a Frisbee.
Unfortunately I am also a gamer. Nasty habit.
I've played lots of old role playing games, starting with D&D, Tunnels and Trolls, and Traveler in 1981 followed by so many more...
I have latent talents as writer which need lots of development.
I'm a pretty good cyclist. I ride 17 miles to work in the morning, then back.

That would be my long hair.
Jesus asks me for advice on how to look more shamanic.
My ancient, unadorned, well-lived in leather jacket seems to get a lot of compliments.

I love my EBM/industrial! Give me also a huge serving of goth, metal, punk, the more psychedelic/political hippie rock, and the harder techno.
I also like reggae, blues, funk, and just a little bluegrass.
I absolutely can't stand rap or hip-hop.

And legions more to be added!

Music, books, spicy food, spicier women, the forest, and my computer.

I think about science, space travel, history, anthropology, politics (hate 'em!), the future of Rock and Roll, making love to a woman I met on this site over and over again...some day.
And that's just the small talk.

Going out, or not going out. If not, books, music, and games.
If going out, bars, music, and dames.
C'mon, it was a clever rhyme. No?
I don't ever actually use the word outside of Dungeons & Dragons, but "Dame" was the title for women at the knighthood level in the middle ages. That's why I find it a bit odd that in modern times some consider it as inappropriate as calling a woman a "broad", which I have always found deeply offensive.
Oh, did I go on another tangent immediately upon writing in this box? Sorry, tangents are the literary equivalent of coloring outside the lines, maybe I'm just a big kid at heart.

How about you be what I'm doing next Friday night? Then my description of the typical Friday night will be much more interesting.

This will be fun to fill out....after a few drinks.
Oh, here's one: I think I look goofy as hell in my photo, and wish I'd gone for a more serious look rather than trying to project what a fun guy I am.
Did I mention I'm one of those brutally honest types whose cynical sense of humor begins with himself, and spreads to all the world?

You have a space ship or time machine. I'll be your love slave for passage to another universe. Together we'll build a new home-world unconstrained by the historical inertia of this one.

Since your cosmic powers are probably not of that kind, you should message me if you want to arrange a demonstration of your other formidable talents.

Because I do not practice monogamy, I am willing to participate in open or poly relationships if I like the situation.
Without embarrassment I'll confide to you that I prefer some modern, responsible variation of the swinger life style.
I'm also willing to have casual encounters just for fun if you're not looking for a relationship just now. Hey, I'm a man, of course there's a pitch for casual sex in my personal ad.

Although I am not monogamous, I am more than merely "interested" in finding a serious life partner. She will have been my lover for quite some time before I know her to be the one, however; I do not rush such serious matters. Inconveniently for me, I am a romantic. Good for you, though.

I hate cheaters; if you want a "discreet" relationship behind someone's back, I'm not your man. I take trust and loyalty pretty seriously-maybe those are the only things I am really serious about, in fact.

I have noticed that I have very high match scores with women who claim to be part of NSPP. I have no idea what that means, and all their profiles say it's a secret. I admit I'm dying to know what it means and why these women have such high match ratings with me.
