About Me

I'm one of the few true Atlanta natives, my first sights having been the lovely rooms of Northside Hospital. My only time away from Atlanta was a lovely 4-year sojourn to Athens (UGA, class of '98), which is quite possibly the greatest place in the known universe. Age 30 is increasingly close, but it isn't here quite yet here, dammit - but I still act like I'm 19 with a fake ID. During the day, I'm a mild-mannered 5th grade teacher, raking in piles of money and trying not to mess up my students' minds too terribly.
If you're hard-pressed - and I mean really hard-pressed - for entertainment, check out my blog Martians Attacking Indianapolis .
My shining achievement, by the way, is that I am one of Uga's top friends on Myspace. Perhaps he was a mid-90s reader of The Red & Black, perhaps he just likes my "jean shorts" picture. However it happened, just know I have never been prouder to be as cool as I am.
Of all the plays in UGA history, by the way, this might be my favorite. While it was happening, I definitely jumped higher and screamed louder than I ever had, or can ever hope to in the future. Why it's my favorite:
1) It was against Tennessee.
2) It was truly game-changing.
3) Last but certainly not least, the look on that girl's face is priceless.
