This page is about me.  I guess I'm average.  Average in that I'm slightly twisted like most people.  I don't think anybody is completely "normal".  Normal is weird.  Abnormal is the new normal.  Doctors would say I'm manic depressive, obsessive compulsive and a few other things.  I'd say I'm analytical, pretty damn smart, pay attention to details and just notice things that others choose to ignore.  It's those things that can cause me problems.  I tackle impossible things.  Sometimes it ends up just frustrating me when I realize I can't win.. or solve them.  But, my conscience would bother me if I didn't try.  Oh yeah, I frequently feel guilty for things that aren't my fault. 

Things I like to do..   Riding motorcycles or bicycles is a good one.  It's partly the ride, and partly the getting out and seeing new things and places.. exploring.  Working on things like bikes, cars, computers etc.  I'd probably give up working on those things if I could afford to pay somebody who I trusted to work on them for me.   I like staying in shape.. but I'd give that up too if I could just "be" in shape and not have to work at it.  Who wouldn't?  I like eating and cooking.  I'd probably still cook even if I had my own personal chef that would cook whatever I wanted.  Watching TV is good. I usually watch something for about an hour a night.  A little more on the weekends.

I like to get really drunk occasionally. Not often, but sometimes I just feel like blowing off some steam and escaping reality.

I used to be really creative and could draw, write stories and be funny.  Working with computers for so long seems to have sucked that out of me.  Either that, or just plain getting old and jaded has sucked that out of me.  I'm trying to get it back.

I like getting outside and doing things.  Photographing wildlife and scenery is good.  If it's colder than about 30F/0C.. then I'd rather be inside, or just someplace warm.  Driving in the snow is really fun.  

I'm not much for crowds.  I prefer smaller groups of people.  I prefer people that can actually reason their way through a situation instead of knee jerking their way through.  I also don't care for people that say they'll do something with you, make plans, etc.. then flake out and not do whatever they said they were gonna do with you.  In other words, friends that say they're your friend, but then leave you hanging high and dry to go do things with their "real" friends.  I'm loyal to a fault, but I'm not a chump... normally.

I'm frequently embarrassed to be a US citizen.  Our government, like many others, is pretty damn evil about a bunch of things.  I guess that's one of the things that I want to fix, but can't, then get frustrated about.
