The guy behind the filth and the face tats...

[Drunken Hearted Man]

Hey everyone. I'm Nails, not my real name of course but I've gone by that for the last 10 years or so. I was born in Corpus Christi, TX, but spent most of my life growing up in the Twin Cities. I've been traveling off and on for the last 6 years or so, started out hitching but hopped my first freight about a month later and never really stopped. I've been all over the place but I'm fairly anonymous in the community due to the fact that I'm rather anti-social. I'm a friendly guy but I love my solitude and prefer being on my own most of the time. People always say I look familiar or that they saw me somewhere once, and they probably did, but I probably just walked by and nodded slightly. People sometimes mistake that as being an asshole, but that's just the way I am. I'm an east coast guy, the west coast is alright but I just prefer the east. Philly/Bmore are two of my favorite cities, followed closely by Minneapolis and Chicago. I usually hit them all every year.

I'm in Portland at the moment, going to kick it here for a few days before I head down to So Cal. I was thinking about going to the meetup, but I'm horrible at making and keeping plans. In fact I usually end up doing the opposite of what I plan on doing, so I could be in NYC soon for all I know...

What else...I chain smoke and drink everyday, but that's not that uncommon. I sleep better on the ground and on the floor than I do on couches or beds, My dogs name is Dante (as in Dantes Inferno, not Dantes Peak...), I like him better than most people I meet. I love cheap whiskey.

If you see me around and say hello, don't be offended if I say a few words back and leave, I'm a man of few words most of the time.

Well I'm glad there are people who like me there, and that they weren't all talking shit (although I'm sure some were).

Hey Nails.
Good meeting you, and you aren't so quiet after drinking.

Hey Nails.

haha yeah...that's very true. I've also been known to take off my shirt and do old timey dances with a cowboy hat on when I'm very drunk...
