---Cultivate yourself into being the kind of human being you currently look up to. You will attract a person of quality, if you are a person of quality.---

Hey! This seems to be a great site to meet like minded people.

I've practiced vegan/vegetarian/healthy diet since 1995 and I want to meet others with this lifestyle. In this era of genetic modification, fast food and flavor additive premade garbage, if you are what you eat, that is what you become. Therefore I burn only premium fuels inside my machine and strive to take care of what I got. This includes using au naturale toothpastes, vegan soaps, metal free deodorants and such, even if its homemade or an old time remedy.

I do lots of reading, on these subjects and more, as long as its non-fiction or reference manuals. I'm a total DIY kind of person, where I would rather make homemade, or upgrade furnishings and fashions to cater to my taste. I'm very handy and mechanically inclined and do my auto maintenance and take apart and fix stuff, and design and make signs and art. I'm very detail-aware and notice more than I care to sometimes. I guess I'M AWAKE as they say.

When I'm not doing the above, I spend time with my like-minded daughter of 17 years. We do these activities together. You can also find me geeking out in my luminous lamp laboratory - yes, I'm kind of a mad scientist of esoteric alchemy, I blow glass and make fluorescent lamps and have been doing this same occupation for 19 years now.

When I make spare time to relax, I don't waste it with tv broadcasts as I collect vintage noir movies...B movie horror classics, cult films, cheesy sci-fi and old mystery as well as modern day obscure flicks. I usually scan through resale, boutique, and pawn stores as well as order them offline if I can't find what I want. This goes for my musical interests as well. I never rely on radio airwaves, I tailor my tunes to the likes of electronica-  be it Paul Oakenfold or All india radio, the beats really drive and inspire me. I also prefer trance and extended remixes of classic hits, the mellow jams of Jerry Garcia Band and some classic rock which I grew up with. I collect vinyl records and 78rpm bigband and rockabilly causing me to explore used book stores and picking up old records and unusual reading material along the route.

I like to explore new territories, hence my handle here on veggiedate...I lived in the Oregon area/State of Jefferson for the last ten years but somehow have crash landed in the fields of Iowa (ask me). I've been all over the states, mostly occupation related and by choice as I am a free spirit with little obligation except to my daughter. I enjoy hiking, walking, exploring parks, woods, streams, and sometimes biking. Heck, I used to switch bicycle models an average of every four months! You will never find me watching football or other armchair sports even though I was raised in Wisconsin, I grew tired of the redundant "football and brats" mentality. You will also not encounter me in a bar or club...just not my scene anymore. I will however hike bike and survival camp preferably in the mountains or coast any day all day but hey, I've crashed In Iowa this time and repairing my anti gravitational transporter is delayed due to back order of parts from last years' model! May be time to bust out a metal detector and go relic and coin hunting!

I enjoy controversial readings and fringe science, and search to prove or debunk these and/or conspiracy in theory.

I like exploring new cities big and small, and can spontaniously plan an impromtu roadtrip at the drop of a hat, and I always travel prepared, literally, so I never get stuck in a situation and still remain self sufficient.

I like to trip out on art, be it my own ideas or the works of Robt. Williams, Vince Ray, Coop, Vargas, Nagel,(yea I'm a sucker for pin-up style) Lichtenstein...Warhol...Ralph Bakshi....know of any similar? I'm a capricorn and represent the sign well, I'm left-handed and I get pretty creative.

This should be plenty introduction to who I am....if you're here on veggiedate, perhaps you are of the same ilk and can relate?!
