Uncle Connie

I want to be as good a person as my dog thinks I am.

About Me

I am 47 years old and I am from Lafayette Louisiana. I work in the oil and gas industry. i like to cook, play golf, watch TV, act silly. I'm a virgo and I'm a funny mother fucker when I aint hatin. I love sports. I love playing fantasy baseball and football - I love kicking all the guys' asses in sports trivia. I have a sidekick named Ziggy, he is a border collie mix. I am devastatingly uncreative but adore creative people. I love the smell of clean sheets. I am an animal lover and think that everyone should adopt. Every dog needs a home and every good home needs a dog. I have two special kitties too ... Junebug, a tortoise-shell Calico high maintenance biatch and Bungie, a yellow tabby bad boy. I have been a cook, a jailor, a cop, a junkie, a repo "man" and a landman. I abhor thieves. If it ain't yours, leave it alone. I'm also an egomaniac with an inferiority complex. Miserable comedians unite !

My Interests

Laughing, music, baseball, Saints football, cooking, eating, feeding my friends and family, taking Ziggy to the dog park, keeping my yard up, air shows, cool weather, trivia, potatoes (vodka), and keepin on keepin on. All I want is love and creative food.
