About Me

So I grew up in New York on Long Island. I moved to Texas ten years ago to go to college. The plan was to move to the city after I graduated but I never quite made it back there. I have a great group of friends here though and Texas has become my home. Especially Denton of which I am particularly fond and where I can frequently be found.

My Interests

I love to sing and I really like karaoke - maybe a little too much. I love to listen to music and dance. Going to clubs and hearing the new stuff that comes out is one of my favorite activities though I hardly get to do it anymore. I also love to bowl and play pool though I am a much better pool player than I am bowler. The one thing I am not interested in is computer programming. Oh shit . . . did I accidentally pick that as my career? Crap.

I'd like to meet:

Jimmy Hoffa

No damn well means no . . .

And when I say it you better listen. Don't tell me that my feelings about this stem from an overdeveloped sense of propriety. There is a reason that I demand respect. I can't tell you at this juncture...

My eyes are wide open . . .

Anything goes. Everything counts. Fate and luck are subject to short-sighted cheats or social brands of justice. It's my input, fear, or anticipation along the chain that spins labels into g...

Missing home . . .

You made me a promise ten years ago. I know you didn't forget. I know you decided that you just can't keep it. And it's okay. I would never be angry at you for that. I understand that the circums...

But I have an engineering degree . . .

So my sleep number bed was delivered today. I was so excited that it was coming that I actually left work and drove all the way back to Denton to go look at it. Which is a haul since I work over by th...

I want my kidney back . . .

I read an article in Newsweek this morning about a man who gave his fiancé a kidney. The newspaper called it the ultimate engagement gift. I disagree. I would never want anyone I love to ever give me ...

This dream I had last night . . .

I had the most bizarre dream last night. I dreamt that my bed was at my office right behind my cube. I was sleeping and then people started coming to work. I was in my pajamas and everything. All tuck...

I have caller ID people . . .

Mr. Eugenio Rojero, I would appreciate it if you would keep a closer eye on your children. Right now you are probably at work and they have been home from school for a while. They are bored and I can ...

iTunes and mini egg rolls . . .

Since I killed my laptop and have not really had the energy or desire to rebuild it I have been working on migrating my MP3 collection to my work PC. Well I am finally finished with that and I loaded ...

Do not sneak up on me like that . . .

I don't know why you are over here. I can only assume that you have some "work stuff" that you are discussing with my cube mate. But I have to tell you, I am really bothered by the fact that you are s...

So you feel content to complicate my life . . .

When I see you, and I don't know when that will be but hopefully soon, I won't know what to say. I will probably act all shy for a while and then maybe say something stupid. You will probably take my ...
