About Me

I have many interests and I like variety.
I really like coffee and scotch. I have liked coffee and scotch since I was first violated by a catholic priest who exuded the delicate aromas of freshly ground beans and aged scotch whiskey. "I like my boys like I like my scotch," he whispered coarsely in my ear "aged 12 years and mixed up with coke."
Few things in life are more enjoyable than breathing the fresh air of a recent rainfall, sipping hot cocoa, taking photos of bugs, listening to Harry Connick Jr., and sniping zombies from a secure rooftop location.
Photos by me. Pops to bigger. More photos in...well, photos.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Smart, interesting people. Scotch enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs. The high-brow type that enjoys sophisticated humor, fine wine, and deep-fried twinkies.

Humanity is doomed...or is it?
