I am Athena's Dad!!! I love you Princess

About Me

I don't really care what you think of me, or what you want me to be. I follow Shakespeare's philosophy," To thine own self be true." Sometimes that means that I disappoint people, so be it. I have to be who I am not who you want me to be. As I walk the road of life I am reminded of a line in a Robert Frost poem, " Walking through the woods on a snowy evening". The line goes, " I have miles to go before I sleep". Before I sleep I want to enjoy the walk. That might sound sort of dry or stupid for a stand up comedian. It's just that I think that I am more than a stand up comedian. What I mean is there is more to me than comedy and I like those parts just as well. Truthfully I would like to be known more for being a good person than being a comedian.Check this site out: AbolishTheNWord.com

My Interests

Music, movies, books, comedy, church, traveling

I'd like to meet:

Well I can't lie. I would like to meet people who have beautiful spirits, who at the same time are living life at it's best and to it's fullest.

Music:

It's like a buffet, I like a little bit of everything. My favorite has and always will be Earth Wind & Fire

Movies:

If something is being blown up, if there is a monster, if someone is getting shot or stabbed then I am there. Maybe a drama but not one of those period pieces.

Television:

Any Star Trek ( That's right Star Trek ) except Enterprise CSI, Discovery Channel, Iron Chef, A&E, The Mind of Mencia, The Chappelle Show, The History Channel,Sci-Fi Network, Law & Order Criminal Intent, Pardon the Interruption and Quite Frankly with Stephen A.Smith

Books:

Anything by Stephen King or Clive Barker, the Bible, also Biographies or Autobiographies

Heroes:

My older brother, because he raised two sons mostly by himself after his wife left him. After they grew up he has remarried and now he has a wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters, and a fifth child due this July 11th. My Brother amazes me with the sheer strength of his faith. He's a guy that bunches of people should not only look up to, but aspire to be like. A lot of people put Jesus here but I already know him. I met him along time ago. He's a big part of my life. Actually he is my life.
