About Me

I am kind of self absorbed, but not in a malicious way. I am easily distracted. I know the proper way to wear a suit. I no longer have the shyness or nervousness of my childhood. For a time, I would have considered myself to be "self-made"...I now know better than to think such a thing. My life is fairly hedonistic. I am picky about the cut of my shirts. My body fits perfectly in the LeCorbusier Chaise. I laugh at things that I probably shouldn't. I am a compulsive list-maker (My desktop is full of "stickies".) I read "Achewood" daily. I lag at returning emails. I don't speak much.....unless I've been drinking....then, I will seriously make with the blah-blah-blah. If I'm at a club/show, and I don't say much, it's because I can't hear too well when there is noise in the background, so I hear about every 3rd or 4th word spoken, and that tends to stifle communication. So, while I could be quietly passing judgement, it is more likely that I can't hear you. I tend to overuse commas and parentheses. I don't mind run-on sentences. I am a foodie. I really like to eat. Seriously, if I were wealthy, I would spend inordinate sums of money to eat snow leopards and such. I work constantly....but I enjoy what I do. I am a Freemason. It is not as creepy as you think....or I would have hoped. Didn't keep me from getting a speeding ticket either. I spend as much time in the ocean as I can. I've traveled around the world (literally). I've been to Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Austrailia (4 times),and all over the U.A.E.. I've also been to Canada and Mexico, but it kinda doesn't count. I've also had long-ass lay-overs in Italy and the Azores. In the next few years, I want to do a "roots" trip to France. I'd also like to check out Russia and Costa Rica. I think that I turned out OK, in spite of an upbringing that I could be bitter about. I enjoy my life.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting people who are carving out interesting lives for themselves. I tend to think that most people in this world are just "filler", but when individuals debunk that idea, it pleases me greatly. A mediocre life is a waste.

Music:

Lately: I'm just leaving the ipod on shuffle. Dianogah is starting to leak songs from their new album, and it sounds awesome.

Movies:

I don't even know where to begin.

Television:

The internet is my TV.

Heroes:

It’s a cliche, but....

.....it really isn’t such a bad one. In the summer of ’89 my family bought a house in Picayune, MS. I was in 8th grade when we moved in. Just about the right time for teen angst to start s...
