Hey, I’m James — 33, Gemini, gamer, artist, and full-time creative misfit. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, life pushed me out on my own at 16. Never having a loving, caring family my mother was an alcoholic and drug addict. She married my stepfather who I knee for about 13 years. He was very abusive. Long story short they got divorced when I was 13 and my mother only got worse. I grew up around chaos, never met my biological father, and learned early how to survive on my own. I spent years living in hotels before moving to New Mexico at 26, and I've been building my own world ever since. Now it's me and my cat, Wednesday, holding down a one-bedroom apartment and a whole lot of energy drinks (Monster is basically my bloodstream).
I’ve been making music for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been tattooing for about 19 years — most of my ink and piercings are done by me or close friends. Creativity is what keeps me moving: tattooing, painting, drawing, photography, modeling back in my teen days.
Gaming is my biggest passion.
I’m an N64 kid at heart — the days of renting consoles from Blockbuster, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and late-night Nintendo nostalgia molded me into the gamer I am now. These days I’m all over the place: N64, GameCube, PC, PlayStation, Switch, Xbox. My favorites? Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, Silent Hill 4 (the best one, don’t fight me), Resident Evil, Skyrim, Fallout, Borderlands, Minecraft, Rust, 7 Days to Die, and basically anything Bethesda touches.
Despite everything I’ve been through — lifelong agoraphobia included — I’m one of the friendliest people you’ll meet. I always put others first, love deep conversations, and vibe best with open-minded, kind people. When I’m not gaming or creating art, you’ll find me skateboarding, watching cartoons, or leveling up my craft.
I’m looking to meet someone I genuinely click with — someone accepting, laid-back, creative, and maybe a little weird in all the right ways. I am loyal, quiet, and fiercely kind. I seek someone who sees the beauty in brokenness, who speaks in open minds and weird smiles. If you do, message me — let’s get lost in conversation.
If any of this sounds like your kind of energy, feel free to message me. Let’s get to know each other!
