I am well aware of my lack of skill in spelling ,punctuiation & grammer ,Thank God that does not have any berring on intellect & the ability to think ,evealuate & formulate concepts ...so spare me the B.S. rather than intellectual rebuttel(s).
My interestes ,from childhood, have always varyed from the mild to the wild ..how things work to whats cool, oooh so many things it would be a shorter list of whats not an interest to me. ( smarter than The Average Bear BooBoo & yet fun luvin')

I was born in Guatemala City Guatemala ,Centeral America in 1963 and came to the United States at the ripe old age of 3 ,raised in a working/middle class family by my Mother & her all American Ohio farmboy husband that although not my biological father earned the title DAD (I call/called him Pop's)
..single ,reasonably well educated & constantly seeking more insight on life , the world around me & beyond. studys include Art ,Engineering ,Psyce. ,Theology ,Science ,~the female form~(LOL!),Philosophy ,History ,etc... but a wild streak held my attention more than not and lifes journy led me rather than documents of education.
From middle school till my late 20's the array of jobs were as diverse as could be but a God given nack for art provided the bulk of my ca$hflow (not alot, but that life & I'm not regrettin much),in the early 1990's I was introduced to The Epidermal Arts & over the last 19years I have honed my skills as a Professional Custom Tattoo Artist ~hence the nickname "The Origional Fleshpirate"~ or ~"Fleshpirate"~ specializing in Cover-Ups ,TinyTatts & fitting the Artwork to the individuals body (not just slinging ink ta flesh)
~I also cut loose the Artistic juces via: painting(assorted mediums) ,lay-out & design(graphic &/or engineering) ,signs-murals & custom accents ,landscapes(private or commercial) ,sculpt & am currently wrighting 2 books(1 autobiography-ish about nearly 20years in the Tattoo industry & 1 on thoughts diddys & such from my heart & mind )

I enjoy a more sedate lifestyle than expected & yet at times run with scissors. a Christian BUT nobodys rolemodel (my schitt stinks & know it ,but belive in Christ & can see how Faith & science complement each other)

I am the proud owner of a vintage 1980 Harley Davidson XLH Sporty ~Shovelhead baby!!~(THANKS RUSTY & JOYCE),Harley owner/rider since my late teens(had several other brands but a H.D. man I am) & also luv kicken around on my 49cc Scooter (yea one of them lil'doublewide scateboards on 10in. wheels)...also got a 2seater GoCart for beatin the crap outta for fun ta'boot.
..I collect Key-chains -AKA; Keyfobs- (yupperz,the thing you keep your keys on),I have 100's and 100's and 100's more of them & no 2 the same! ,I clame the un-official crown of "King Of Key-Chains" ,LOL! seriously been grabbin em up for over 30years doubt any individual collector has more than me.{Collectors Motto; -If I Ain't Got It I Want It-)
..not a sports fan nor into mindnumbing TV garbage like talk show ,sitcoms ,cartoon sillyness ,wrasslin or reality shows etc..etc.. (I do watch such things on rare occasion but just ta'kill time or to reconfirm why I'm not really attracted to such),but like good movies ,"edumacational" TV & the full gammit of news and insightful broadcasting.(rather new to the computer & worse with it & such tech stuff than I am at spelling , BUT slowly expanding my horizons ,painfully slow it seems at times ~SIGH!~),chess player ,target shooter/hunter ,photographer ,fisherman ,SelfDefense Student ,sightseer ,world class wise@$$ & whatever holds my attention works too!
...I am not politically correct &/or lost in daydreams in related matters (I live in the real world and know of too much of its good bad & uglyness ,therefore try ta keep it real)
not a heavy drinker & do not use drugs ,I do drink socially & occasionally party like a rockstarr (especially on vacation when I'm pretty much trashed from start ta finish;-) ..roumered to have inhaled often (& advocate the decriminalization of the banned-budd ,-ONLY the budd- & with rules/regulations similar to thoes governing the sale/consumption of beer wine liquor),but dont have time for alchafreakinholics nor drug fiends.
..I can be cordial & polite and at the flip of a coin rude crude & socially unacceptable with limited tolerance for punks ,thugz ,racist's ,A-holes & stupid people but understanding with those of limited knowledge/experience & truly compassionate for those deserving of such.
