I'm a 43 year old guy living in Southeast Shreveport, Louisiana. I operate a little virtual bookstore called Big Al's Book Emporium . Since I am somewhat disabled and rather unemployable, due to a condition that is most simular to Catiplexia, I also run my own recycling effort called Big Al's Recycling Effort. With B.A.R.E. I collect empty inkjet & laserjet Cartridges and abandoned cell phones from friends, family and local businesses and sell them to a company as a part of my income. When there is work, I also do Cartography work for local Oil & Gas Prospecting companies and I'm now promoting MPG-CAPS - a 100% Organic Engine Conditioner for both Gasoline & Diesel fuels that reduces Greenhouse Emissions while making your Engine Last Longer, you can learn all about MPG-CAPS, MPG BOOST & MPG MEGA-CAPS (for the big rigs) at CashInOnFuelPrices.com .
I enjoy my great sense of humor and I love music. So, with those two things in mind take a gander to this old toon: Of course I love movies. Here are a few that I have watched and commented on:

I keep reading in women's profiles that they are tired of games. I on the other hand love games. When asked they always tell me that they are tired of head games and my response is that the best games are played in your head and then applied to their particular application. Basically, I really enjoy playing most types of games. I remember enjoying parlor or party games when I was younger thinking that I would be apart of a couple one day and we would play parlor or party games with other couples. Sadly I remain single. In late 2006 or early 2007 I joined the Shreveport Strategy Games Club and we meet 9 times a month to play all kinds of strategy games. In March of 2007 I helped to form the Ark-La-Tex Gamers Association and we meet about 5 or 6 times per month. Both clubs meet at Barnes & Noble Bookstore at different times during the month and we also meet in other venues around the Ark-La-Tex. If you live in the area and enjoy playing games or any particular game join us, express what you enjoy playing and find a game or two to join in on.
On July 19th, 2005 I went in for a Gastric Bypass and to make a long story short, after 22 months I've lost 150 pounds. My living situation has changed from living alone (before 7/19/2005) to now living with my elderly mother and I now must use an electro-Larynx (one of those things that people have to press up to their throats to stemulate the vocal cords in order for you to hear them talk) to speak and an additional amplifier to speak in public thanks to complications with the artificial tracheotomy that had to be installed after my bypass. I attend a couple support groups each month. But have a longing to meet someone special to go out with on a date now and again or maybe for some other activity if we can think of one (hmmm?, think HARD). I spend the rest of my time working either on Big Al's Book Emporium , B.A.R.E. or working on maps. I'm interested in making actual friends on here, not just a long list of names like most of you seem to have. I have dyslexia & A.D.D., so I pretty much read only what I need to or want to read (I want to read personal eMails) so I don't participate in many blog forums. Although, since I have a vested interest in making or at least saving money I found a BLOG site that will actually pay me and you for that matter to BLOG to each other. That is they will pay us, in gift certificates, to write articles, comment on other's articles, invite others to join (like I'm doing now) and so on. They only pay about 1.3 cents per article or comment but how much does MySpace or any other chat or BLOG service pay you?

I have very unpopular opinions on just about everything in our lives and so I'm always looking for people that can share some kind of commonality and therefore I'm seeking out individuals that may share my mind set or whom are at least open to to finding a compromise. I am recently discovering that many of my philosophies align with eastern philosophies and living in the Southern United States that isn't a very welcome way of thinking.
