About Me

There isn't much to tell. There are two thing that I know to be absolute, that being my age and education. Everything else I believe to be falsehoods, fibs, lies, stories, opinions, and even that is subjective and relative. A person's lie could also be their truth. Anymore, I never know what is the absolute truth, or for that matter, truth in general. I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my ass. But, I can tell you that I've been considered a "nerd," "geek, " and "dork". You can check out my profile and come to your own conclusion. I am full of useless facts and it helps when watching a game show or playing Trivial Prusuit because I'm still broke. In addition to the trivial facts and thoughts, I tend to ramble and I'm constantly derailing my train of thought, which I'm probably doing right now.

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?
