All About Me:

'Minds Are Like Parachutes, They Only Operate Properly When Open'

LOCATION:

Hagerstown, MD, USA near the Prime Outlets, off I-70 Exit 29

PERSONALITY:

I tend to make people scratch their heads in wonderment. I don't do things the way you might expect. I don't just think outside the box, I live outside the box, and then I destroy the box.

I don't fit any stereotype. The things that I do for work and fun don't really have anything to do with each other. I'm always looking for something new, fun and creative to put my mind to. I tend to modify everything that I can. I make great friends with those who think different - is that you?
 

WHAT I DO:

I'm self employed in Information Technology as a software developer and consultant. I wrote software and sold it in 8th grade, and then I started my business while attending high school.

I'm an alternative artistic model, meaning that I use myself in photographs to tell a story or express emotion, for the sake of art. I have a gallery in the Modeling section on here.

In my spare time I design and build things, and construct massive electrical projects. Sometimes I think I need my own power grid, though I want to go green and make my own electricity.

GENERAL:

I'm all for organic foods, and I like to cook and bake. I don't eat dairy or red meat. I do my best to preserve the environment by reducing energy use and waste.

In my spare time I design and build things, and build massive electrical projects. Sometimes I think I need my own power grid, though I want to go green and make my own electricity.

All the technical, computer and electrical knowledge that I have is self taught, mostly by doing, and some from books.

Things I couldn't live without: TiVo, Internet, Indoor plumbing, Sucralose, Hot Tea, Silk SoyMilk and AIR CONDITIONING!!

Random Facts: I listen to foreign music that I can't understand. I'm a silent sleeper and don't snore. I put carpet on my office walls. I am androgynous. I keep a voice recorder under my pillow. I have MySpace business cards that I hand out. I can vibrate my eyeballs. I need a white noise generator to sleep well. I use colored neon tubes to light my rooms. I can't stand cigarettes.  I won't buy things that start with a little 'i'.

BOOKS:

Generally anything by Robin Cook and Stephen King... Robin Cook's "Terminal" is a medical thriller where what appears to be a medical miracle is not what it seems. This was an "edge of your seat" read...I couldn't put it down as the plot constantly twisted and turned, revealing new surprises.

MUSIC:

I don't like mainstream music.  That stuff they play on radio stations, whatever they call it now, drives me nuts.  Though I do like classic rock...that music was good.  Music should involve sounds from everywhere I say....banging anvils are always nice!

FOOD:

Pretty much anything organic, but absolutely no red meat or dairy (I won't think less of you if you do eat it). I could go vegan so easily. Soy is a large component of my diet. I make a tofu-strawberry-bananna-rum smoothie that is to die for. I like to eat cold soy dogs right out of the package. I cook and eat an extensive variety of food types, though my favorites are Asian and Italian. I love making and eating salads.

MORE:

That's it for my public profile.  The 'Friends Only' section is where my deep, dark and what some might consider controversial ideas and feelings are.  And because of that, only if I know you well will I give access to that area.
