DO NOT send friend requests if we haven't chatted, they WILL BE declined (unless we're friends elsewhere). I'm an open-minded, though straight, nudist. I'm an outdoors type, I love to do just about anything that gets me outside. Favorite quote: Go not where the path may lead but go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. *Please don't send random friend requests. I don't friend collect nor do I wish to be added to a friend collection.* PRIVACY NOTICE: Any institutions or people using this site or any of its associated sites for studies or projects or to re-post pictures to other sites - you DO NOT have my permission to use any of my profile or pictures in any form or forum both current and future.

Being a laid back individual, I normally tend toward the same disposition in those who I would socialize with, however, this is not a prerequisite. I also prefer open-minded people.

I love to be outdoors. I enjoy camping, most sports, hiking and boating. I'm still very much into (American) football and baseball (having played both) and follow my states teams regularly. I also like to paint which, is a hobby that I've taken up. I enjoy my solitude and find that painting relaxes me and is a great way of relieving/releasing stresses of daily life.

I like The Struts, Sixx:a.m., MCR, Falling in Reverse, Ghost, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Alter Bridge. I'm often told I'm lost in the 80s, I love classic rock

Comedies (smart), action, quality dramas. O Brother Where Art Thou, My Cousin Vinny, The Shawshank Redemption, Jeremiah Johnson, Idiocracy (ok, not smart but, come on), The Revenant, Religulous

I've never really been into hero worship of any kind. I'd have to say my parents come the closest to heroes to me. They sacrificed a lot to raise my siblings and myself, making sure we always had what we needed and could take part in any activities that we wished, even when money was in short supply. I followed their example when my kids were growing up as well.
