About Me

I like bugs. Right now I have an ant farm, a large plexiglass stick bug habitat, a dozen caterpillars and a roach motel for my hissing cockroaches, Larry, Daryl and Daryl. I have a baby who is really cool and I like hanging out with him. I'm a full time grad student because I don't know what's good for me.
I am flexible on most things, but there are a few things I believe. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the superior cookie. Dark beer is always better. Louisiana is the best place to be from and 1977 was the best year to be born. Funny people are the best kind to be around. Robin Hood was the best animated Disney film ever. Oo-de-lally! On the day when God comes calling to take me to the great by and by, he better use the voice of Johnny Cash if I'm to go without complaint. According to the "Which Big Lebowski character are you?" quiz:

Why don't you check it out? Or we cut off your Johnson!
