I try to practice "far side"esque thinking as a lifestyle.

I am a fairly easy going person with big aspirations.

Sometimes that conflicts.

I enjoy so many things it is often difficult to prioritize.

I try to be a positive person as much as possible.

Many have described me as having the ability to readily fit in anywhere and with anyone socially in just about any strata like some sort of social chameleon, although, I actually consider myself to be kind of shy initially.

I have opinions but usually try to keep them to myself at least until evidence exists to support them.

If evidence doesn't appear I might be forced to plant some.

I also suffer from paranoia about bad grammar in my online writings. Nothing worse that trying to make a first impression and not being able speel anyting korectly.

As for the "religious" thing.

I think that it possible there is something more but I find it hard to believe you'll find it by belonging to one group versus another.

Basically be nice, help out when you can, listen, and it all should work out ok.

I do alot of reading too. Hard Sci-Fi, Thrillers, and History mainly.

Did about 13+ years in the military. Was a Medic in the Army then joined the Navy and became a Hospital Corpsman which allowed me to werk with the USMC for about 6+ years. I got to do alot of great things and work with alot of really special and dedicated folks. I was fortunate enough to see things that I never would have otherwise and came to have a perspective which allows me to appreciate things which I never would have garnered had I not joined.

I got to do cool stuff from parachuting(I love to fly and if it means I have to hang on, strap to it, or walk out of it, I will just for the ride.) and scuba diving to advanced medical training like ACLS, ATLS, CTM, and tons of other acronyms.

I am single, never married, with no children. I am not afraid of kids except for that one in the Omen.

I like to tinker with stuff. I need to know how things work.

My taste in movies and muzak is typically not mainstream.

Except for 80's muzak.

Those last two were put in so I can sound edgy and pretentious.

As for what I'm looking for here on (insert online social thing here).com, I'm not sure.

I definitely like to talk so that's a starting point.

I think the generic socially acceptable traits are another good place to start.

Be who you say you are.

Don't misrepresent.

I don't expect perfection as I am not perfect.

Of course that goes with the socially acceptable stuff. (You know honesty, integrity....yada, yada, yada...)

I think that travel and meeting different people is one of the only things worth doing in this life.

In my ventures around the planet the one thing I have learned is that despite what the TV/Media tells you people are much more alike than different and basically good.

Please do not get mad if I ask questions. Because, honestly, most people do not put anything in their profiles.

So unless you have that masters level mind reading program accomplished you have no idea what they are looking for and then you have to wrangle info using weak internet small talk.

Evolving, I think, hopefully not in the wrong direction.

WOOT!!! Those fools accepted me into their program so four more semesters and that will be done.

Got accepted to an RN program so I start that in the fall.

Current follow up plan to that is Nurse Anesthesia soon as I have the time and quals in for it.

Then what?

I definitely see myself as the life long going to school type.

Maybe back to my other college to finish my art degree, poli sci, etc...

Want to take more maths.

Learning 3D Studio Max in the shallow hopes of completing my sci fi epic.

Do werk as a lab assistant to pay the bills.

Hoping to meet people who are similarly quirky but still ethical. I live in BFE so the bottom line is I realize most likely I will have to undertake an epic voyage to actually meet people.

It is kinda forced when all your friends are married in the area. So in this area at my age you either need to date them right out HS (not an option or a desire) or catch them before the Senior Center gets 'em and although intriguing being a step-grandparent just seems awkward at best.

My Art. Sutures. Blind sticks. Crisis management. Multitasking. Operating under pressure. Making people snort and snot, either from laughing or derision, whatever.

Sense of humor. I seriously think I can take the most miserable job and get the people I'm with to have if not a good time doing it at least not dwell on the misery.

I'll have to werk on this.

(A) Aviation and Space technical books(Weird huh?). Hard Sci-Fi. History. Bios.

I have been nagged about this list but it is a tedious one to fill in as I really can't remember all I've read. It's not uncommon for me to pick up a book start reading and then realize I read it like 10 years prior. Just finished the Potter series and really enjoyed it. First book took 5 me months on and off, last six took circa 3 weeks. Go figure!? :-D I was even ok with the ending.

(B) Blade Runner, Like Wes Anderson films, Monty python stuff, Hmmmm....

(C) Music for me is funny. I really like lyrics. Especially good ones. :-) If I had to list by genres: Industrial, Goth(is that a genre?), Techno, Rock, Metal( Some old Anthrax or maybe Judas), Hip Hop, Rap(Old stuff mostly e.g. NWA :-D ) Jazz, Blues, Old R&B(60's), Classical, Pretty much everything with a very very thin spectrum of acceptable country. Think Johnny Cash. An all time fave of mine is Social Distortion.

And David Bowie is the fucking man. "Sorrow" another really pimp song.

(D) Thai, Italian, Japanese, aww hell I just like food. Those are some faves though.

I try to stick to the lifestyle of being a 2nd tier vegetarian but it is hard at times and I do make mistakes.

Computer, Pet(s), Drawing tablet and pencils(That's one, don't argue), Outdoors, Hmmmm....

Life, Goals, Travel, I want to fly in space, the nerve of them not to fund the Orion Project.

working in the lab.

Bleh.

"Listen, three eyes," he said, "Don't you try to outweird me. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal."

Secretly jealous of people with large families/extended circles/etc.

If you want to chat, go from there.

Please feel free to contact me if you are from the Mothership and you have come to take me home.

I'd love to get out of this place.
