Part I: The hybrid man.

I am what one might refer to as a walking paradox. I've been blessed with the good qualities of various types of men, while being spared most of the poor. I'm a bad mother fucker, yet at the same time I sometimes cry during movies. I look like a "biker" or perhaps a lumberjack, I also know about Boolean Algebra and "IF-THEN" statements. I am mostly introverted but I can be extremely extroverted in short bursts. I can rebuild an engine, I also write poems, songs, and stories. I am naturally funny, I am also quite serious. I can be intimidating, I am also compassionate and gentle. I care more about people than things, but I like having certain stuff. I'm not a jealous man, I am however, a passionate man. I'm incredibly intelligent and book-smart, yet also appropriately pragmatic and street-smart. I have been called mad, yet I'm also sufficiently lucid.

Part II: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

Part II doesn't really have any content at this time.

I am a madman, a poet, and more

I am employed Full-Time at a custom cabinet shop. It's not a so-called dead-end job. I like it. It's easy for me, yet still challenging. I get to create actual items from my own imagination. It's a form of artwork.

I live in an apartment with my dog. He's a Pitbull mix that I adopted from the shelter. He goes by the name of Flea. I didn't name him- so don't blame me. He's pretty cool. I treat him quite well. I love that dumb bastard, even though he buries everything.

I'm writing and producing a feature length action/comedy animation for my own entertainment. I write and record original music. I play grab-ass with photoshop from time to time as a creative outlet. I've done numerous live performances as a musician and also as a humorist. Simultaneously on occasion.

My long term goals include buying a house, building another motorcycle, and just general self-improvement.

I've quite the collection of college credits, yet no degree. Subjects range from liberal arts, business management, and electronics. I was on the Dean's list at one point. If I would have stuck to one major I'd nearly have a Bachelors.

I'm really good at a variety of things. Mechanics, technology, reading, writing, playing the electric bass, being funny, organizing, getting along with people, helping others get along, I'm great with animals and children. Solving problems.

I typically become skilled in whatever interests me.

I'm not good at sports, singing, or doing math in my head. I'll warn you now that I do try to sing more often than I should.

I'm not like the other boys.

I like books that teach something. I also like true stories and biographies.

Books I've recently read:

How to Write a Screenplay
Learn Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Now!
The Everything Singing Book
Don Rickles Book
Painless Grammar
Sketchup For Dummies (and it really is for dummies)

For movies, I like all kinds of movies.
Some of the films that I've recently watched and liked:

The boy in the striped PJ's
Brazil
Chinatown
Marley and me.
The Hangover
Terminator 3
The Wild Bunch
Rear Window

Music is something that is very important to me.

Black Sabbath
James Brown
Loretta Lynn
Motorhead
Albert King
Al Green
Nashville Soul Music (Stax records)
Donna Summer
First three Metallica albums
Miles Davis (Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew)

Genres I like: Soul, Blues, Funk, Disco, Motown, Metal (old), Country (old), Movie Scores, etc.

If I took this section very seriously I would only say besides clothes, a bed and a bathroom; I need nothing.

I don't need much. I was without housing for a summer. It was liberating.

I use my computer a lot - and the Internet.
Some sort of musical instrument.
Friends
A pet
Around here you need a car.
Peace of mind.

I think about ideas for stories, songs, jokes, videos, and so forth.

I do a sufficient amount of strategic planning and implementation.

I think about more profound things sometimes. Abstract ideas such as time and space, various religions and whatnot.

I spend a lot of time thinking about which words to use in a sentence and how to use punctuation properly. I bought a book on it.

I normally don't do much on Friday night. Most of my friends are married now. I don't really feel like hanging out with them and their kids on a Friday night. My single friends mostly go to bars, which I don't like. I don't really drink. I've worked in bars and entertainment since I was 15. It can get a little boring for me at a bar.

"Hey everyone, it's Friday. I can live my life now. 8:00. Time to go bowling." <-Read that last part using a dufus voice.

I don't like coffee.

This section is designed to find out how open a person is. I'll just say that I'll tell anyone anything. I'm extremely open. I don't keep my thoughts to myself. If you ask me how I feel, I can and will tell you. If you ask me what I think, you will get an honest answer. I got nothing to hide.

I guess I should point out that I have some skin illustrations. I'm not the kind of guy who wears shorts just so you can see the leg tattoos. I only have black and gray pigments. Three of my designs are related to the fleeting nature of life. One is a reminder of my youth. Another explores the infinite largeness and smallness of the universe along with the unexpected and/or unknown. I got some stars on my feet because my one-man-band is called the Nat Funk All Stars. I had no idea everyone and their mother was getting stars. Oh well. So that's 7, if you're scoring at home.

You should message me for any reason you choose. I enjoy getting messages from anyone.
