Okay, change number...(why count?)
I am: 34 years old, divorced (married for 10 years),heterosexual (I don't use the term "straight" because of the subtle implications that "non-straight" people are crooked-Do with that what you will), a father (11 year old son), tattooed, in a sexual drought, 4 years from retiring from my current job, considering a Prince Albert.
I am not looking for someone..I am content with myself. However, I would not mind sharing my life with a wonderful woman. Oh by the way, I can be a greedy little goat boy at times (enter sexual drought and resultant pain:} )
I am heavily into tattoos. I am currently having Polynesian style shorts tattooed on me by Daniel Dimattio of Calypso Tatoos. I live a solitary lifestyle and spend a great deal of time reading. I have lived in Belgium for over three years and love it. I drink socially, but not frequently. I do not smoke, or do drugs. I work out frequently,-not buff-just slim.
Some of my favorite book series are: Stephen King's Gunslinger series and the Dune series. As of late, I have been focusing more on nonfiction work. Music tastes range from ColdPlay to Bela Fleck (Yes, I know that is odd).
Last really good book that I read: "The Lucifer Principle" by Howard Bloom
Recently read books that were "okay": "Freakanomics" by Stephen Levitt,
"Psychology and Religion" by Carl Jung.
Currently reading: Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations"
On tap to read: "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins
I am know at times to be a rampant Atheist, voice of reason, and a major shit stirrer. Summary of Me: Oddity is the Norm

Yet More Tattoos (Soon)
2005/11/22 18:40 Greetings All,
I am excited and a little bit sad. This Saturday I will get my last tattoo. After 15 plus years of tattoo pursuits I will be done. I will have Dan Dimattio of Calypso Tattoo finish up the last part of my left leg. It should be fun as it will include the inside of my leg (yippee! cool sensations) What is equally cool is the next day I have to be up early (0400) to head on a business trip. It will be worth it though. I will have completed a chapter in my life. On another positive note, my lady friend and I are doing great. We long to see each other again and are working towards that goal. I talk with her for hours a day. Love is a roller coaster ride and like that ride you can enjoy the experience of love once you realize you are in no danger.

More Tattoos!!
2005/11/08 18:59 The War cry of every tattoo lover. I just got back from Dan Dimattio of Calypso Tattoos. I had the backside of my left leg done. It was a smooth experience amounting to two hours of drawing it on me and five hours of tattooing. None of the experience was bothersome. For those of you who are curious, the work on my butt was not bad at all. In fact, I slept throught most of tattoo session. Dan-YOUR THE MAN!!
2005/11/04 13:06 Phew, as stated in my entry title I am back. So, where have been? I have spent the last few weeks in D.C. and NYC. No big deal for me, as I travel routinely. However, this trip had a pleasant twist. I met a wonderful woman, and......I am terribly smitten and comfortably in love!! (I can hear the appropriate groans from cynics). This trip started out on a negative note. I was in a minor accident with a taxi in D.C. (no one was hurt)So anyway, I had to call my legal office and who answers but my exgirlfriend. I had been "over" her for sometime but once I started talking to her, I knew I was over her. Something clicked and the closure was complete. That evening, I was hanging out at the bar and met this awesome woman. The week that followed this meeting was like something out of the movies or a novel. I instantaneously felt totally comfortable with her and have never connected so well and so comfortably with another.
M leg is healed! I head up to Calypso Tattoo on Monday to have more polynesian work done on the inside of my left leg. I am really looking forward to it! Once this is complete I have the back of my leg to do and my left leg is done!

E.O.D.
2005/10/12 20:49 Slumber is impending. I just finished Jung's "Psychology and Relgion". A bit dry and tiresome. What I got from it was that humans have an unconscious part of the psyche (mind?) which can manifest itself in varous ways (dreams, freudian slips, etc). The whole religion thing is lost on me though. I am a straight up atheist. Additionally, religion seems unnatural to me. A code of conduct I can deal with..provided one takes responsibility for it, even if the act of responsibility means submitting to other people's codes. At least then, there is no "invisible friend" (my term for gods) justification involved. For me that has been the hardest thing, finding my own code and boundaries in a world that has so many to choose from.
Later
