I am here for Friends

About Me



I am Mr. A.
Mr. Alcatraz is my father.
I am one step away from Monk.
I do math.
I do not believe ignorance is bliss.
It's ignorance!
I am not just a nerd.
I am King of the Nerds.
I laugh. A lot.
I *WILL* make you laugh.
I have no time for hobbies.
I know more people than I can count,
but I only count a handful as friends.
If you're in that group, it's for life.
I cannot be bought with any money.
Pudding or cookies however...
I have learned to listen.
If you need prayer, message me.
If you need help, call me.

Television:


As of January 1, 2007
I no longer watch television.
It’s not a resolution,
and not because nothing good is on.
It’s because too much good is on.
I gave back my Dish.
I now get no reception.
Zero.

Lost

Bones

Plus a 4 hour Nascar race…
Way too much!

No, they aren’t as good as life experiences.
But there are some life experiences
that I can’t really have…
