this profile used to be old, and long - its still long, but its new. . .minty fresh. . .new year, new ruminations, new pants!

i used to think the line "oh, i HATE talking about myself" was pretty cliche and a copout, but what is a cliche but an oft-repeated truth. . .how best to make this sound natural, and not like the "About The Author" page on the jacket of your autobiography - i guess you cant, so here goes with the cliched blurbing:

me. Uhm. I am me. And me is we. When I'm not we, I'm just me, who is here looking for forever-gals, fancies and forget-me-nots. I can't call myself an open book. Rather, I'm a pretty hefty copy of Ullysses, one of the first print editions, and you're stranded on a deserted island, with no thesaurus. You'll get through it (the book, most likely not the island - no one leaves the island), but it may take you a few reads, and scribbled notes in the sand - but the reward will be there, and you'll find yourself discovering new things everytime you open it up.

Generally, you'll find me stuck behind a computer: at work (hurray for youtube), or at home - when im not planted behind a computer screen, im outside with a camera, or on a motorcycle looking for somewhere i can go with my camera (and of course someone i can go with). . .which is a nice segue into the fact that i love photography. . .LOVE. . .like some people like their teeny-tiny dogs. . .photography is as much a means for me to express a "creative" side, as it is a means for relaxation - flickr. com/ands_ if youre interested in checking any of it out. . .i would say, if you dont like taking photographs or having a camera shoved (lovingly - not Chris Brown lovingly though) in your face, its probably not going to work. . .other than that, i have varied semi-permanent interests. . .which change. Constantly. Because I'm like a child - easily distracted. Which sometimes comes off as easily bored, but I try not to be. However, such a wanderlust is a condition of my limited friend-set; I seek other outlets to occupy the time I have which would normally be spent with friends and family and such and such. . .

as for what am I looking for - well I WAS looking for the Maltese Falcon, but someone told me I should just stop because I was going to be REALLY disappointed when I found it. Figured I'd take their advice.

Who knows what they are looking for? I have a type, an ideal, but that assumes we're all wired one way, to look for something that looks one way. I'm not "looking" for anything; I prefer to meet someone, walk casually along that winding road of life, and be pleasantly surprised when I look up and we've somehow arrived on Lovers Lane and I hadn't noticed. I know. Sappy. I used to write cards for Hallmark what can I say. . .

as for what i would like to see in YOU (points finger): just be breezy, mellow, relaxed. . .i dont mean inert - by all means lets get up and get the hell out of here. . .i mean breezy in thought and execution - if youre at risk of having a stroke because someone cut you off in traffic - yea. . .thanks for checking out my page, and good luck to ya! - other than that, who cares - i have a prediclation (so not how you spell that) for Caucasoid-Females, but if youre cool who cares, email away. ..but be funny. . .seriously. . .and if youre not funny - at least allow humour to play a LARGE part of your life. . .photography and humour - those are the biggies. . .love to laugh, and ill love ya, forever and ever (or until the weekend. . .whichever comes last) -

so if any of the above has rendered you into a state of tickled pink (whatever that means), drop me a line at wheatthLns on the good ol' g-mail!

quick trip to the moon is always fun. . .however, should a Space-Shuttle be unavailable. . .the zoo, and then a trip to New Edokko ramen shop is always keen. . .

matta ne (if you know what that means. . .lets just get teh married now)
