I am bad at thinking up, adjectives, and stuff.
My Self-Summary
Volpar enjoys the
Beastie Boys,
Johnny Cash, and working on
cars. He enjoys long
walks down the local dike and the occasional beer or three.
His middle name is Gerald. His car is green. More particularly, it
is an adorable, green, jelly bean. His other car is blue.
He wishes you to know that this was, in fact, not written by him.
It was written by his obnoxious best friend. :^)
Well since I should probably chime in with something useful at this
point, I'm a fairly easy going guy, and pretty easy to get along
with. I spend a good amount of time with my friends, occasionally
at a party, but often just doing whatever happens to be going
on.
I like to spend time working on my cars, and recently have
rekindled an interest in old Japanese motorcycles think 1960s/early
70s
I thoroughly enjoy the occasional
beer and while I do enjoy the good stuff,
I'm definitely not above putting away a few cheapies...
What I’m doing with my life
Rethinking my school choices, I need to fill out the paperwork for
my ASE certificate, and take the tests, but I don't really think
I'd like to spend my life in a shop working on other people's
crap... I'd love to run a speed shop, and only work on nice stuff,
but the chances of making a living at that are slim, perhaps a
slightly profitable hobby, but I'm rambling... So right now I'm
thinking about going back to school for maybe a history degree, not
that I know what I'd do with that. So basically, I'd love to be one
of the people who knows exactly what they want to do in
life...
So, for now, I'm punching the clock at
Trader Joe's and trying to figure
out what kinda plans the man upstairs has for me.
I’m really good at
Taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and putting them
back together.
I find the mechanical workings of things fascinating, and I think
I'm fairly handy.
Taking on too many projects at once.
Talking about most anything.
Remembering movie/TV quotes and other useless information.
The first things people usually notice about me
The grease on my hands.
That I'm a bit of a smartass.

The six things I could never do without
Family and Friends - One and the same, they need something, I do
what I can, and they're always there for me. The man upstairs would
fall in here too.
Humor - Never take anything too seriously, it's not going to help
anything. I try not to be too proud to laugh at myself.
Cars - Working on them, driving them, making them faster, it's what
I like to do.
Gasoline - See above.
Music - My life's gotta have a good soundtrack.
Space - I have a random desire to live semi-remotely, not too far
from civilization, but far enough not to be bothered all the time.
Think western Wisconsin.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What to do with my life.
I really don't know, I think about a lot of things some days it's
cars, some other days it's something else entirely, a lot of my
thinking tends to focus on how to make something work, or make
something that works work better.
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably getting home from work around 11:30, sitting around for a
bit, maybe having a beer, then going to bed, unless I have friday
off, then who knows...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Occasioanally I have an urge to by a 3rd gen camaro with T-Tops,
grow a huge Joe Dirt Mullet, and cruise around listening to bad 80s
rock. Fortunately it passes quickly.
And yes, there is such a thing as good 80s rock.
But seriously, I'm really bad at throwing things away, I'm a bit of
a pack rat.
You should message me if
I really don't know, that's a decision for you to make, I'm not
that great at hyping myself up, but I'll give it a shot.
If you message me, you're life will be permanently changed for the
better, you'll gain the ability to fly, and make objects levitate
just by thinking about them. If at some point you actually meet me,
you'll be able to read minds, predict events in the near future,
sing animals to sleep, and create amazing balloon sculptures of
British landmarks with your feet.
