About Me

Well, ... let's see - I'm a creative professional, but I don't wear a lot of black. I'm a Mac guy, but I don't own an iPod (actually, I DO now - see my BLOG). I used to be overweight, but I fixed that - only took me a damn year and a half. Had cancer once - I won, not cancer. I have a couple black belts, three if you count the one that holds up my pants.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"Meeting" people happens on the street, in reality. I've no interest in having a 200-sumthing "friends" list, but whoever comes along who wants to become "aquainted", rock on!

My Blog

MOVIE REVIEW: Shortbus, 2006

Writing a movie review requires two things: you've seen the movie, and you have an opinion. Since both are true, I'll write some reviews. Starting with this one. Incidentally, I also have 2 years of f...

As Cartman might say, "RCA - Respect Mah Authoritah!"

I wouldn't but a car that only goes sideways and reverse. I wouldn't buy shoes you can't wear while climbing stairs, nor would I buy an MP3 player that won't play songs in order.Oh wait, I did. The RC...
