About Me

The right which I claim for myself and all others like me, is the right to choose the person whom I love. ~Peter Wildeblood (1955)

Since MySpace IM appears to be sucking out loud these days, you can always reach me on Yahoo IM: [email protected]

Dear Santa, you forgot these...

Just a gentle and (I hope) funny Italian living it up in the Show Me state. Political satire is my passion and ranting against the religious machine is my mission. There's much more to know...just ask.

I should warn you...I always try to play nice with others, but I don't pull punches and I do tend to have a smart-assed attitude. If you're easily offended by the occasional "blue" language...consider yourself warned. Don't be scared, though...With all the things in this world that could kill us...(Like George Puthy Boy Bush), you need to laugh. A sense of humor is required when dealing with me.

Love, love, love getting to know folks from all walks of life. Their stories interest me.

I follow a very simple philosophy: Be a nice person. Play nice with others. Find the humor in everyone and everything. Loyalty and honesty are my anchors.

I don't like mean, closed-minded or biggoted people ramming their hate down my throat.

Oh, and I DON'T like Bush!!!


My Interests

Satire... Gardening... Politics... Activism... Writing... Chiefs Football... Soccer... SciFi... Photography... Art... Poetry... Computers
