Father/Artist/Pirate...in that order, at this point in time.
I'm not an average man, but I am not a strange man. I grew up in an educated household, but I have used my intelligence in artistic creation and commerce, not study. Great vocabulary, lousy spelling. I am most passionate about being a good parent, & avoiding hypocrisy. Things that I am grateful for include:
My funny & smart little daughter (8yrs), and that I enjoy my work (herebebears).
We have a vegetarian/vegan diet most of the time unless I hunt a caribou. I don't take any pleasure in hunting, it's not a 'sport'...but don't like how factory farm meat is 'grown'. I am a flexible guy...I respect other peoples choices, I'm just describing mine. I do like to cook and I know how to wash dishes too! I can bake my own bread & make my own tofu from scratch...DIY, bigtime!
I live in a famous small northern town (population 900), Churchill, Manitoba, The Polar Bear Capital Of The World.
If you are looking for palm trees and big city life, I'm NOT your man!!! I like where I live, but when I take a vacation, palm trees and big city is where I go! If you like snow and nature and small town life you may like it here. 900 people is ok to find a few good friends, but it is not a big population to find that 'special' person, so I'm trying this.
William S. Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Dorothy Parker, Shel Silverstein, Dr. Seuss, Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, Denis Lee
Wouldn't you rather live in the subarctic, where you know your neighbours, the air is fresh and crisp, wildlife abounds, and your daily 'commute' takes 10 minutes or less...?
Relaxed and thrilling all at once.
Scrabble, Monopoly, Backgammon, spin the bottle
Movies:Jarmusch, Tarantino, McKellar, Coen Bros., Sergio Leone, Kevin Smith...You get the picture? Ron Mann, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Hal Ashby(Harold And Maude, Being There)...
