I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I work here
I eat a lot of cereal.
I think having robot hands would more than likely be way cooler than regular hands.
While working at a toy store in downtown Seattle, I once convinced actor Brendan Fraser to buy a sasquatch action figure .
Sometimes I get vertigo, but only while already sitting down.
I detest seagulls.
I'm kind of thalassophobic, yet ironically fascinated with the ocean.
I played in punk bands for about 12 years.
I laugh out loud almost every time I hear the word "Seabiscuit".
I love dinosaurs.
I frequently hallucinate when I'm really exhausted.
I chew most foods that don't really require chewing.
Most people think I'm about 10 years younger than I actually am.
I'm an optimist.
My best friends are my two brothers.
I say the word "poop" a lot.
Sometimes I stutter very badly.
I try to get to the gym six times a week.
I wish real life had musical segues like TV shows do.
Grilled cheese samwiches are good.
Poop.
The End.

Road Rage on the Information Super Highway

So I've recently self-diagnosed myself with the computer user equivalent of road rage.  People who know me well have caught me cursing out my computer a few times I'm sure.  It's kind of lik...

Damn you Robert Stack!

Is it just me, or is the theme music to the TV show Unsolved Mysteries really scary?!

I really hate it when...

...I see a bug on the wall inside my apartment and I go to squish it and somehow I miss and the bug falls down and I look for it but it mysteriously vanishes. I can't just pretend it's gone! It's st...

Marine Life

Sometimes, small fish will hide from predators inside the anus of a sea cucumber. True story. Ironically, the sea cucumber kinda looks like a turd. Also, true story.
