into: Art, music, literature, culture, languages, travel- the foods of life. The curve of a woman's hip, the slope of her neck, the pout of her lip, the timbre of her voice. Hot wheels, old wheels, fast wheels, cool wheels. Aikido, shito-ryu, goshin-do, iaido, jiu-jitsu, yoga, zen. Hiking, pedaling and paddling. Single malts, red wines and weissbier. DC United, Chelsea FC and FC Bayern. Organic gardening, sustainable agriculture, permaculture. Water- fresh and salt- and everything that swims in it, on it or flies above it.
not into: Factory farms, industrial food. Mass-production.
makes me happy: The laughter of my children. A summer day on the Carolina coast with the sun on my face and sea breeze in my hair. A crisp autumn morning in the Blue Ridge with the smell of breakfast on the camp fire. Venice in winter strolling the back alleys in the fog. Spring in Atlanta with the dogwoods and azaleas in full bloom. Dirt on my hands from planting seeds in my garden.
makes me sad: The ignorance, intolerance and insularity of the average American.
hobbies: Isn't life enough?
5 things i can't live without: My wife, 2 sons, dog and cat.
vices: Life is a vice best savored slowly and sweetly.
thoughts on sg: It's okay
i spend most of my free time: Obviously in places other than here...
occupation: Storm Chaser. Word Smith. Spinmeister. Info-dork riding the whirlwind of postmodern change. Sifting through the flotsam and jetsam of the virtual sea. Seeking enlightenment, surrendering my ego and paying off kharmic debts- this lifetime or the next.
current crush: Still, after all these years, Chrissie Hynde. Liv Tyler. Salma Hayek. Lokelani McMichael. Go watch Lena Olin in Unbearable Lightness of Being.
stats: Tall. Fit. Nordic. Dark. Blue.
body mods: Other than the random scars of a life lived authentically, I'd rather a change of heart than change my body.
heroes: No one else comes close to my old man. Dad taught me a lot- but above all, keep your head up, keep smilin', look for the good in everyone and keep on fightin' no matter what they tell you the odds are. WTF do the oddsmakers know anyway? :-)
Besides that
gets me hot: Authenticity. Eccentricity. Originality. Creativity. Besides that, red hair and black leather. Long legs, a taut, sinewy, athletic body, dark, smoldering eyes and an Italian accent.
favorite position: The one that makes her sweat, the one that makes her scream
fantasy: Peace. Negative population growth. A sustainable economy. Clean air and water. Organic, locally farmed food for all. Affordable, decent housing. A fair and simple tax system.
