Am I really supposed to take a self portrait shirtless in the bathroom? This will accomplish what? Maybe a picture of me faking my own death would be a better conversation starter.

A few thing about me:

I'm self employed and love my job, although it can call for some crazy hours sometimes.

My home renovation is an ever changing entity as my mood changes.

I have a 26 pound cat that is in charge of my house when I'm away. (Okay, he's always in charge as I won't argue with a 26 pound cat)

I ride my motorcycle year round as I have a heated vest and camp year round as I have a furnace in the camper.

I'm building a Guillemot kayak in my spare room because I can.

I'm not a chef but have been accused of it on more than one occasion. I am capable of cooking for two or twenty but I tend to keep my finest creations for camping as things like lobster and French onion soup taste best over a campfire.

I restore and "hot rod" vintage audio equipment and host dinner parties/ audio evenings.

I love long walks on the beach. Scrap that, I love walking Long beach, end to end.

I listen and welcome all types of music in my home but I do have a long standing "No Nickelback" rule that will be enforced by electrocution/ public humiliation.

I'm learning to play guitar, not to try to live out a rockstar fantasy, but to hear horrid sounds that make the cat wince coming from my hands.

I have a perfect retirement plan that will include total world domination if marketed right- all from one consumer item. Ask me if you dare; the plan is well under way.


I'm only interested in surrounding myself with honest people who have integrity a conscience. I am a believer that any relationship begins with a solid foundation of friendship, and that it all is a two way street.

I am:
successful in what I do
comfortable in my own skin
not broken- really don't need someone to fix me
happy with my own company
a collector of many things- Ford trucks(4), air compressors(7), saws(14), CD players(39)

Feel free to contact me if:
you like yourself
you want to make a good friend and maybe more
you are self sufficient
you like to try new things

Please don't contact me if I will also be contacted by:
your parole officer
your village
your other personalities

I have learned some really good lessons, and some really hard lessons over the years. Here are a few random thoughts on that topic:

Looking too hard for a relationship will get you one, but it will probably fail.

Deep fried ice cream is best left to the Mexicans- I only got a really greasy milkshake.

You not only have to love yourself before you can enter into a serious relationship, you have to love living with yourself.

Cars are heavy.

You don't have a choice about falling for someone. You have a choice on how you act on it.

Kevin Smith is right. The Lord of the rings is really just 3 movies about people walking. quote "Even the trees walked"

Maybe let a magic 8 ball give us guidance?
