About Me

I like to read. A lot. I enjoy blasphemy and am intrigued by nuns. Brides of Christ, it's just so weird. I do the crossword everyday; it doesn't make me smart, just obsessive. Red is my national color. I am up for just about anything, anytime, anywhere as long as I make to work on time. My sense of humor is very dark and dry. I like the new MnM commercial with the mega MnM. The first rung of comedy appeals to me. I don't play an instrument and I have a tin ear. I'd like to see BB King one more time before one of us dies. Pirates are great. I am a dork and proud of it. Proper grammar and spelling tickles the cockles of my heart. During the winter I build gigantic snow sculptures. I like to bake, but not to cook. I have an extra bone in my foot which is just strange. My brother is a professional gambler and my sister is a professional violinist. I am the sibling that bridges the gap between the two. My smile is crooked. Army men should come with little sticks of dynamite, more realistic. I bite my nails and probably won't ever change. I think everyone should wear flip-flops. Jasper Ffordes is a literary god. Coca-cola with lime is not good. Well placed randomness is always appreciated. I miss Liberty Meadows.

Heroes:

I'd like to dedicate this section to Mrs. Krista Roark. I met Krista when I was traveling as a renegade journalist in Siberia. She was eeking out an existence in a gulag. We lost sight of each other for several years however our mutual love of margeritas and ice cold tundra brought us back together. Yes, Krista is my hero.
