About Me


Some old surfer named Shaun Thomson once said, "I don't mind waiting for waves. Some people wait their whole life for nothing."

There are times in life when you can't even wait for waves. I'm going forward and making a few splashes of my own.

One Saturday night when I was 15 years old, I had nothing to do, and couldn't sleep, so I turned on Saturday Night Live. That night I saw something which altered my perspective on everything. You can see it too...

Unless there's a high chance of hanging out with you in person (and that generally implies that you live in the Seattle area), I'm probably not interested in adding you...unless I already know and/or you give me a compelling reason.

Cliques are for kids.
I like people with more pew-pew and less mew-mew.

My Blog

MySpace, You Are Boring Me.

Honestly, it isn't just MySpace.  The web has become rather boring in general.  I think I need something else to occupy my downtime.

Simple Mathematics

Sales taxes, taxes on cigarettes and gasoline, and taxes from legalized gambling and lotteries are the tools of the rich to keep the poor down. None of those taxes hit them in the way they work again...
