About Me

I like music, pool, yoga, computers, bars, shows (bands), movies, burritos. I am honest, loyal, active listener.I like smaller gathering more than large ones, but I have been known to bring 20 people to a BBQ. And I do like to go out dancing every once in a while.At my core I am quiet, but I have been known to be the loudest person in the place when I have a few in me (or when I am in a good place). My score on The 3 Variable Funny Test :
the Cutting Edge
((71% dark, 46% spontaneous, 21% vulgar))
your humor style:CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARKYour humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

Who needs poets?

The question seems to be arising, like I am up against it, "do you love me enough for me to believe you, for me to believe that anyone could love me?" I don't seem to have an answer fast enough, or m...

prototype vs product, action vs excution

It is not that things take longer just because of beauracracy, it inherently takes longer to do it right than it takes to "get'r done". It is easy to invade a small nation with huge oil reserves, it i...

Somewhere between lust and love

When I left the girl at the bar that night, I was looking for something, and I was not sure what it was, or how to express it. It didn't feel so guilty as lust. Or just lust. There was something re...
