About Me

I like sports, a video game or two, comics, the great outdoors, action, adventure and exploration.

I like calling people when I'm driving. So give me your number; I lost my phone. But not while I was driving.

Sometimes in New Jersey I just hold my phone to my ear hoping that cops will pull me over and try to give me a ticket. And then I'll have them check my call log and see that it was all a ruse. Then I'll laugh. And then they'll give me a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt, which I don't do because it's unconstitutional.

Evolutionary ramble.

I'm researching some Neandertalic nonsense, and I can't help but wonder why we have so many different shades of people, and yet one species. Why are European people white, why are African people...
