I am alive, happy, and determined.
My Self-Summary
well, I guess I have to update this..
I am like most others, trying to keep moving forward in
life..
I involve myself in things that I think will help myself and
others.
I try to do what I can, I work with non-profits, I have been on the
Board of an autism charity, as well as other roles with various
groups. I volunteer as an EMT and try to give back what I
can.
I do not fit into molds well.
What I’m doing with my life
Sometimes I wonder if I know, I walk a path that does not have a
specific destination, but I am not a drifter. I am looking to
improve my lot in life each day. I guess it's hard to describe, but
I don't think I can control where my life will take me, and so I
just try to keep moving forward, and take the most interesting path
available. It's been working well for me so far.
I’m really good at
Well, I am a good research geek, even though that is not my job. I
have always enjoyed learning, even though I absorb a lot of stuff
with no practical value.
And anything with my hands, I have been taking things apart since I
was a kid.
I actually don't mind having to fix things like the house and
vehicles.
The first things people usually notice about me
Warped sense of humor? It's hard to say, I have never thought to
ask anyone.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I enjoy reading when I have a quiet moment, many types of books;
mystery, intrigue, sci-fi, history.
Movies : I have to admit, I do like bad action flicks. A nice
distraction if nothing else.
Food : I like many foods from most countries, and love cooking them
as well.. Everything from pasta to sushi.
Music : Peter Gabriel, Morphine, Warren Zevon, Peter Murphy, Oingo
Boingo, ELP, early Garbage, Del Amitri, Bowie, Cure, Daft Punk,
Brian Setzer, Blind Melon. I think I have 4,000 tracks on the
ipod..
Oh, and I am a spice addict. But a grown man crying is manly,
right?
The six things I could never do without
Liberty
Family / friends
Opposable thumbs
Music
Motorcycles
My Camera
I spend a lot of time thinking about
All kinds of stuff :)
Runs the gamut from "ooh, shiny" to metaphysics.
Why I have more hard drives fail than anyone in the universe.
How to repay the friends who have helped me survive this long.
On a typical Friday night I am
Unwinding after a crazy week. Out or in varies depending on the
week.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
That I do canning. The lady at the extension office called me a
"treasure" when she found out I was not having my grandmother's
canner tested.
