Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I love living in Detroit when I'm not getting as far away from home as possible. I'm usually doing a million mostly interesting things, but enjoy living simply without a lot of "stuff." I don't shop at Wal*Mart.

I'm worldly but trusting.
I go home to Burning Man and want to check out a Rainbow gathering
I practice yoga and want to do more zazen meditation
I am a zombie walker and am going to be one in a musical
I'm green and want to drive a veggie-mobile
I've traveled the world and want to go to the moon
I love games, especially real life ones, but not head ones

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I'm following my passion in this life - running a Random Reality company as an author among other things. This involves life changing entertainment to end boredom and remind people of their personal evolution. It's a huge source of inspiration for me and an unending string of crazy adventures in real life.

I'm also busy looking to buy a house in Detroit, rent my loft and convert a diesel Volkswagen to run on vegetable oil. Besides all that I'm making time to enjoy Detroit, hang with friends and meet kick ass people.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

...being a jack of all trades, master of none, including:

dancing to electronica, Morton's List / Random Reality / Dice Living, vegan/raw cooking/juicing, computers / fun with Excel, aerobics/weightlifting, recycling, writing, Robert E. Howard lore, being an extra/stand-in, gaming / role-playing, pop ninja culture, entheogens, Tantra, planning trips, cocktail mixing and wine/beer snobbery

Propensity to laugh (<--Nice use of 'propensity!')
Full of useless-sometimes-humorous trivia (<--yup)
Smiling kissable lips, nice teeth =] (<--Thanks, braces!)

...FOOD...

NO fast food or drive-thrus! nasty nasty wrong wrong
Anything goes abroad: I'm a sucker for trying nearly anything once, including fugu (deadly pufferfish) in Japan, guinea pig in Peru (terribly sad, I know) and vegetarian jellyfish in China

...DRINK...
I'd like to say I only drink distilled water, or rainwater, and pure-grain alcohol (to replenish precious bodily fluids), but that's less true than funny. I do try to drink mostly water and I love raw juices. When it comes to adult beverages, I go for homebrewed beer & wine, martinis, clear liquors, tequila, good ales, stouts and beers of (almost) all kinds and organic wines/drinks if available

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

All the usual stuff and...

Synchronicity, chance, fate, Random Reality, Morton's List
Entheogens, allies on the journey within
Truth, Beauty, Goodness
Intimacy, Tantric sex, Burning Man moments
Laughter, lightness, fearlessness

...and last but not least, Ninja!

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

...Random Reality
...how fresh it will be when cars drive themselves
...to dos
...relationships/sex/friends
...travel/CouchSurfing
...buying houses in Detroit
...how NOT to think and just be here and now

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Yeah, not really a "typical" type. I like to roll the dice with life (literally). There's a lot of fun to be had in the unexpected. =] Maybe going out or traveling for the weekend, or chilling in with a friend or just hanging with my cat - variety beats reliability like a rock smashing a pair of scissors.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

My life's an open book. Not big into privacy/secrets. Ask me what you want to know. I'll never run for office. haha

How's this for starters?
I'm fixed! I like that word better than "vasectomy." haha
Also, I'm polyamorous. I'm not in a primary relationship now, but am very much "poly" in my thinking and social life. I just added "compersion" to my vocab: "The feeling of taking joy in the joy that others you love share among themselves / Sometimes called the opposite or flip side of jealousy." Pretty sweet, huh?

You should message me if Propose an edit

...you want to. Do or do not; there is no try.

In case all the above isn't enough to go on, we'll probably get along famously (regardless of the % jive) if you're close to being any of the following: a traveler, seeker, Lister, crazy, storyteller, Discordian, punk, dicer, green, lover, artist, freak, Burner, swinger, nerd, (Sub)Genius, Burner, Goddess, progressive, poly, vegetarian/vegan, pot head, or ninja (of course, ninja goes without saying)

You can take a short test to see how much you match me here http://www.okcupid.com/matchme?u=randomreality (<--A test on OKcupid?? Imagine that... ;])

I'm "More Trusting" and "Less Old-Fashioned" so feel free to cut to the chase and surprise me...
