Let me begin by saying that i am NOT a goth. I am not anything except who i am. I do have gothic tendencies and love that pre-raphelite look. I have always been drawn to the dark and enjoy it in my own way. This does not mean i am some dark satanic psycho, simply that i do not place any negative value on ANY emotion.

I have a twisted sense of humour ranging from dry wit and sarcasm (a la Black Adder II) to "FREAK!!". If you enjoy a good laugh and dont take life too seriously then we will get on.

I also enjoy summer days, blue skies, full of promise and life. Spring blossoms and the creative energy flows. I will admit to dressing in black but it is a kind of plain black which is devoid of any designer labels or other tribal markings.

I love music and prose and anything to excite the mind as well as the body. A poet, a philosopher and student of man, all of these things am i. A scholar and warrior, a hunter and a shadow, a romantic and a cynic. I am a creature of dichotomies ... ancient and youthful, wise and naive, a humanist that believes the best about people whilst accepting the worst ... i am in essence a nutcase ... LOL.

My best friend on his wedding day ... he was talking to a number of his other guests and told them that he has met a lot of people who try hard to be weird and evil but i am the weirdest of them all ... because i dont try. I myself dressed as Blackadder II at his wedding. I was best man and he was dressed as Sir Francis Drake. His gorgeous wife was awesome in her Queen Elisabeth I gown. Love you both!

Sorry i tend to wax eloquent at times and get all deep and moody ... it just needs a nudge in the right direction and i can be silly with the best/worst of them :D

My passion involves the use of swords and other ancient weapons. I fight with two weapons and have trained extensively in various martial arts. I train with my Viking brothers in techniques that have been gleaned from masters young and old. I also travel the world teaching novices who wish to learn about using said weapons ... about using a sword ... it has a sharp pointy bit, stick it in the other bloke and try not to get hit;))

Either in tournament or whilst involved in Viking battles i stalk the field of battle ... closing upon my enemies, slowly ... carefully ... and then ... POUNCE! The blood quickens, the heart beats faster, the thrill of battle is upon me. I lose myself in the rythm of the battle, the hidden melody ... the song of steel, i am an extension of my sword, flowing like quicksilver faster and faster ... my eyes like pools of midnight never leaving my prey until finally the rapture ... the climax ... the kill! My body and soul screams out in pleasure and anguish and once again i am left hungry, a predator seeking prey.

I collect ancient weapons and have many swords, knives, axes, spears etc. some are replicas, others are originals bought from all over the world. The prize of my collection? Hmmm ... a 16th century damascus steel shamshir or possibly a 10th century pattern welded viking sword.

Martial arts, the raw beauty and power of nature, the forests, the mountains, the sea, the desert all call to me. I find interest in the secrets and mysteries of our universe, the people within it and the places that i have yet to travel to. Let us not forget the female form, the fairer sex who so wonderfully beguiles and pleases, intoxicating and dynamic *WEG*

Intelligent conversation or sometimes inane, travelling further down the paths of learning. I LOVE Tigers the most wonderful and majestic of creatures, i love to cook and create poetry and prose. I also have a passion for history, learning about whence we came.

I have spent many years exploring sexuality and sensuality. From sweet gentle caresses to raw animal passion, it all comes from within, from desire and passion and lust. I often say that seduction is preferable to rape ... >:) I am also interested in BDSM and have been involved with it for many years. I am as exacting and creative in that as i am in all my other pursuits.

I have often been told i am unapproachable, usually by people who took the time and effort to get to know me. Little did they realise that beneath this dark exterior lies the mind of a lunatic who enjoys life to the fullest.

Lungs burning, heart pumping, the Lord of Tigers fought valiantly till the bitter end ... killing all who stood before him!!
