About Me


I am unabashedly loyal to those people I call my friends and close family. These people are my essence and livelihood. I can be a goofball or a sarcastic prick, sometimes within the same ten second time-frame, but I also enjoy to philoshize about life, love, sex, politics, music, movies, sports, and all other ridiculous forms of diversion that disract us from the everyday norm. I am the king of useless knowledge. I am a rock-n-roll historian. It is nearly impossible to offend me. I'm only offended by close-minded people, bad taste, and bad hygiene. I can be considered highly-opinionated, but at least I can listen to every angle of the argument before making judgment. You will not find me being spoon-fed my beliefs from the evening news or any hand-me-down bullshit. I will voice my opinion, whether you agree, disagree, or even want to hear it at all in the first place. It's... what I do.
"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowskistyle="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;"

Kids in bike helmets piss me off.  It seems that over the last ten years or so, they made it illegal to ride a bike without a helmet and protective gear.  This is absurd.  When I was a ...
