Happy 'Goose a Geek' Day

About Me




MySpace Countdowns
1. Smoked for 15 years, quit 10 years ago.

2. Went back to school, after a 9-year gap, with the realization that higher education is important. We should all strive to learn something every day.

3. I do not group people into races, et al. People are different than each other in every possible way. Variety is the spice of life and mine is no different when it comes to what I spend my time with.

4. "Taking life seriously will only get you laughed at by others, Taking it as a joke, you get to laugh along with them". It is so easy to link who I am with what I do. But we are all more than the sum of our actions. I KNOW
I am a GREAT person.

5. As much as I'd rather go places and do things with others, I am equally content with doing my own thing on my own. Yes, I'm a loser loner. (psst, I'm ok with that) :)

6. I've been told I have sexy eyes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Meet is the key word. If you look at my friends, you will notice that they are either Novelty/Comedy/Dementia Music Groups or They Live within 25 miles of the City of San Diego (or I knew them FROM San Diego). I am not sad that I have less friends in my list than most people on Myspace, Mine are mostly local to me, and I can actually drive to see them IN PERSON and still make it work the same day. I'd like to meet more people in my area, especially those who love to learn.

Music:

I love Novelty or Comedy Music the best. But Techno and Disco are cool. I avoid country at all costs.

Movies:

Sci-fi, Anime, Hackers.

Television:

Weather, City TV, ITV (San Diego County Office of Education), PBS...umm

Books:

Harry Potter, Hitch-Hikers Guide, Computer Books, Radio Books, Books about Information Management, Educational. Notice a trend?

Heroes:

MYSELF :), Scot (who no longer has a myspace..boooo), Bill Gates (even if he is evil), This chick, Sandy, because she digs the penguin! and the following...
