“I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks, going up to mountains to pray, making children laugh and old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happen to appear in their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and to all living creatures ...”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy s**t what a ride".

In a nut shell that's what my life was until I hit my 30's. I hitched hiked from Las Vegas to San Diego when I was 17, lived on the streets of Milwaukee when i was 19, and worked the ren fair circuit when I was in my 20s. Spent a lot of time working concert security for local venues. These days I'm more concerned with just getting through college and landing a decent paying IT job.
I laugh a lot and I'm definitely not mainstream and never will be. I'm a Zen lunatic, a hopeless romantic, a lovable dork,computer geek, Loki's helper, an artist, a writer, and a little bit of many other things. I can be a little shy at first in person until you get to know me. I'm a very open person so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
I wear my heart on my sleeve and have a hard time being dishonest with people. I've found it rather difficult finding women my age that can keep up with me. I can walk 20 miles with an 80lb backpack in a few hours no prob and still do another 20. Prefer being outdoors when weather permits instead of stuck inside. I rarely watch tv. Been called a nice guy, big teddy bear, and a good man by many female friends. I like to cook, cuddle, go for long walks, and many other things. I'm a laid back, easy going, funny, honest,loyal guy looking for an honest, loyal, and straight forward woman. Hoping to find someone willing to get to know me first and become friends and see where it goes from there. I have been getting asked alot what am I looking for on here. I am not someone that runs around with a rigid blueprint of what or who I am looking for as far as relationships go. Que Sera Sera.
***Update***
So many changes, to many to type about here. I'm currently my 82 year old grandmother's caretaker.
Oh and I think I should warn you I'm not a sports fan

Biking, PC gaming, watching movies, urban camping, hiking, going to concerts,doing homework, and hanging out with friends is what I do in my spare time.
