Getting old means knowing that you're being marketed to.

About Me

I'm not heavily into the bars & nightclub scene, although, I tend to enjoy myself more if there's a dance floor or some pool tables and dart boards. I like activities; I don't like too much passivity. Sometimes I find myself going to a club just to hang with people and make intelligent conversation... though it's easier to do that at a coffee shop where the noise level is lower. Some weekends, I want adventure such as going to the zoo, going to the beach, an amusement park, or a museum. And some weekends, I like to watch TV, play video games, eat, lounge, and kick back. I'm up for going hiking or staying home to play board games or cards with friends. If I was a multi-millionaire, rich pimp mack daddy, I'd own a big house with a pool, hot tub, and a waterfall, and a garage with a 4x4 truck, snow gear, mountain bikes, surfboards, and a beach house, and a mountain cabin. But, I'm not. So, I rent an apartment, my 4x4 truck is old, but runs, my snowboard and mountain bike are jammed into my walk-in closet, and I share the hot tub with the other tenants.I work with Photoshop and I'm currently learning Maya 3D. Any other computer graphic artists out there? And I'm learning about economics and investing. That Mad Money show is entertaining.

My Interests

Bowling, billiards, cooking, hiking, waterparks, beaches, swimming, amusement parks. I enjoying fishing; I just gotta find someone with a boat. I like zoos and natural history museums. I enjoy drawing, sketching, taking digital photographs of co-workers and friends, and I dig using Adobe Photoshop to cut and composite such pictures into amusing satires. I like Chess, most board games, and would like to learn more card games. I like winter, mostly for the snow, but I prefer summer, especially when it's 95 degrees out and I'm by a swimming pool with BBQ food for lunch, lounging with nothing of great importance to do. Now, I just gotta find someone with a pool. I like to cook. I like burgers, steak and potatoes, BBQ kebabs, seafood, and sushi.

The middle finger...

Seems like some people like flipping off the camera in a pic. Why? I suppose back in 1980, this was considered shocking, daring and bold. Please, come up with original ideas, people.
