Date of Birth: Saint Nicholaus' Day, 1966, 4:06am
Place of Birth: Lansing, Michigan, USA
Height: 6 feet, 1 inch, 187 centimeters
Weight: 180 pounds, 78 kilograms, give or take
Hair: Brown, varying in length from shaved off to touching the ears as my whim dictates, receding hairline, bald spot
Eyes: Brown, laser surgery has made it so I don't have to wear glasses, and I'm told they turn grey when I'm angry
Facial hair: Brown, also changing depending on my whim, sideburns, moustache, full or partial beard, goatee.
Face: I'm told I look like I'm in my early 30s when I have facial hair, late 20s if I'm clean shaven. Tall face with a less than Roman nose, good chin...Why am I telling you this? Go look at my pictures! ;)
Body: Medium bone structure, somewhat slender with a little bit of a stomach, hairy torso (mostly frontal) and limbs, but not like an ape! Most of my joints are "double-jointed" in that I can hyper-extend them past the point of other people. Simply put I can straighten/bend my shoulders, elbows, hands, fingers, back, and knees past the point most other people can. Not that I look malformed or anything! It's just that my joints are "looser". I can bend over backwards in an arch and touch my heels, for example. I have a small brown birthmark on my left front thigh. I have a large tattoo of two winged dragons, back to back, with a Yin-Yang between them. No, it's not evil.
Allergies: Furry or feathered animals, pollution, dust, dust mites, pollen, mold, exercise asthma, one or two other things and, oh, mowing the lawn! ;)
Volleyball, baseball, pool, darts, swimming, snorkeling, sailing, rafting & canoeing (whitewater or regular), spelunking, reading, writing poetry and short stories, computers, video games, rapelling, fishing, hiking, rock-climbing, backpacking, camping, walking in nature parks, animals & nature in general, mythology, Shao-Lin Kung-Fu and T'ai Chi Ch'uan (both of which I study at the Chinese Shao-Lin Centers in Denver and Boulder), hypnotism, past-life regression, out-of-body experiences, Tarot cards, magick, learning, growing and loving, and much more. There are so many things I want to try!
Collections: marbles, Star Wars figures (the originals, not the new stuff), toy cars, bladed, medieval and martial arts weapons (no firearms), computer video games, books, music albums, small figurines and statues, etchings by Kurt Frankenstein, miscellaneous antiques, shells, rocks, dice, Tigger stuffed animals, metal balls (BB's, ball bearings, etc.)semi-precious stones, keys, odds and ends.
Books: Horror, auto/biographies, fantasy, science fiction, sci-fantasy, mystery, inspirational/motivational, self-help, how-to, and more.
Musical talents: singing (bass) although some friends may dispute how good I sing. ;) I used to play trombone, trumpet and baritone.
Musical tastes: Jazz, rock, oldies, swing, big band, new age, OLD (circa late '70s) rap, non-whiny country (especially crossover bands), love songs, classical, instrumentals, progressive, some alternative, classic rock, some folk music, Andean, Native American, Celtic, and more.
Dress: I am not a slave to fashion and fads. I don't go out and buy the latest rage. I wear clothes until they are worn out or no longer comfortable. I prefer function over esthetic appeal although I like to wear something that looks AND feels good if given the chance. My preferred colors are blues and greens and purples. I'm not the snappiest dresser in the world so you may catch me wearing clothes that don't quite match, or are wrinkled, or maybe the pant legs are too short. Personally I think it's silly to iron clothing. Why not let it look natural? :)
