Portland transplant getting accustomed to the nightly wailing of sirens and drunkards on pill hill. So far so good!

Just giving this online dating thing another whirl. Not looking for anything too serious. "What's love got to do with this" so please be my Fat Joe (or Ja Rule) to my Ashanti. The crack-rock to my Winehouse. The Eye of Sauron to my Mordor. With that being said, if there's a spark then let's proceed.

I'm D.A.R.E. pledge-breaking godless card-carrying union thug who loves to ruffle feathers (rattle some cages, stir up the dander, ect) and talk a mean game but back that shit up with actions.

I have an affinity for Victorian furniture, b-movies, graphic novels, tattoos and fitness. When I am not working on immigrant and workers' rights campaigns and events, I am either yelling expletives while doing Crossfit, drawing or watercoloring, and exploring the neighborhood for good bookstores, drinks, art and music.

to quote The Coup:
I'm here to laugh, love, fuck and drink liquor
And help the damn revolution come quicker

lifting heavy objects like a Neanderthal with the intent of building mass

Assembling things (good with my hands)

Growing a marxist beard

Balancing geekery with some street creed

Tetris and Super Smash Brothers (Come at me bro)

my tattoos and the junk in my trunk

(see people, misuse of the word drastically changes the meaning of what you're saying!)

If you don't take yourself too seriously and you want to have a lively exchange of ideas over drinks.

You want to show me your local haunts.

You have some amusing stories.

You think Tesla was the man and have a visceral hate for Edison. That dick.

If you know the following line: Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the G’s!

Lastly, please put some thought into your message. I'm not going to put out for a cheeseburger.
