About Me

I'm a sometime poet, amateur photographer, safety and environmental compliance professional, lover of goth / industrial / stompy boot music, and collector of odd trivia and esoterica.I have two cats a cat and many friends but few confidants, and alternately delight in being eccentric and outgoing, or sometimes even shy. I'm divorced, but still close friends with my ex-wife of thirteen years. Since so many seem to use MySpace to look for new friends or keep in touch with old friends, I figure that I'll try it! Not bad for a boy from Alabama, desu-ne?
