About Me

What is there to say.... I'm dad to Nora Scout, who is the coolest kid in the world. I like most kinds of foods, but LOVE pie. I am a Libra/Monkey, and, while I don't usually buy into astrology, the stuff in the books is fairly accurate. I enjoy having coffee with friends & commiserating about the fuckwits that roam the earth. I hate being called a coconut. I think I look fat in most clothes. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I work at Ren Faire. I like donuts. I learned juggling from actual circus people. I know alot of useless info. I'm kind of lost but i'm not a loser. I'm an Anglophile. I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but rarely indulge in it. I think Echo & the Bunnymen are the most underrated band of the 80's. I consider myself a misanthropic humanist. I like steak. I know how to Morris dance, country dance & do the Abbot's Bromley. My favorite liqours are tequila & vodka. I also enjoy whiskey. I take things to heart, but am never crippled by them. I love beer, real beer, like Newcastle or Boddington's. I know what a bung is. I do a decent Christopher Walken impression. I hope to make a liviing, not become rich, just make a living at music and/or acting. I recently started playing d&d again. I'm a big geek. I play guitar mildly well. I tend to cuss like a sailor arguing with a trucker, but with charm & elan. I use words like elan. I read comics. I'm the black sheep of my family...oooooh. lol Thank you for investing your time in reading this "About Me" diatribe... Any Questions?
