Let's see, where to start, I am a middle school teacher of at-risk students. I like to draw, make music, listen to music, and engage in political debate. I was born and "reared" in Albuquerque. I like plants and they seem to like me, if my multitude of plants that aren't dead are any indication. I like art, Edvard Munch is pretty decent, I enjoy good tattoo work, both on me and others, I deplore a lot of what our government is doing at the moment, and don't have a lot of hope that Pelosi and Co. will make much of a turnaround, I am an optimistic but realistic Democrat. I have a keen sense of smell even though I smoke, and enjoy taking pictures of cool things. I guess most of this info should have gone in the "general" category. I go to bed early and wake up early, except if i'm "out and about", the old Ben Franklin addage, "early to be early to rise" is good. Uhhh...what's another good addage....good fences make good neighbors...yeah..that's it.

Suffice to say that music is "muy importante" to me.
Lately I have not had the patience for movies.
Seinfeld
While I like David Sedaris, I really can't say I "read" too much...wah..wah..I know, I'm bad..what is this thing you call..re--ree---reading...and if I list my faves, such as Barney Goes to College, and Superman Goes Grocery Shopping,I am most certain to come across as dull and unread, and a simpleton....so I'll leave it at Sedaris.
