It's a Mentos. They're the freshmaker.

About Me

About me. Hmmmmm. So much I could say, so much I can't remember. I used to be a lot of different things. Classified by what I do and who I'm with. Now I know I'm just me. I'm compulsive. I'm a little nuts. I'm a bad penpal. I'm a football fan. I have an addictive personality. I find it easier to run away when things get tough, but I try to not let myself do that. I'm a geek. I'm a recovered Catholic. I'm single. I'm happy. I'm close to my family. I'm me.

My Interests

Everything and nothing

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't scared of life. That doesn't mean adventurous, you can be a homebody or reserved, but whatever it is you do, you need to enjoy it. I don't like people who hide from life by complaining at every turn like complaining is going to get you somewhere. Take it and make something of it. I like people who are willing to learn new things. If you're a snob, a stubborn jackass, a biggot or someone who doesn't know how to laugh don't bother to contact me. I'd like to have lunch with: Bill Clinton; Will Ferrell; Sarah Jessica Parker; Katie Couric; Steve Martin; Ellen Degeneres and Tim Russert.

Growing Up Step

I always thought my first unfinished book would be fiction.  I've always enjoyed being a story-teller, but I never thought I'd find a subject matter that could constitute writing an entire book l...

Words Fail Me

About a week ago, I found myself dressed in a paper gown and sweating under rubber gloves in order to spend some time with granddad.  It was a strange mixture of a place I didn't want to be and a...

Shit Man, It Is What It Is

Recently a friend commented that it doesn't seem that I truly like being single.  That I write stories that contradict my actions.   That I act as though I'm looking for a knight inste...

On a Positive Note

Recently I have written in the negative.  I know this.  I don't want you, the reader, to think that I am a negative person or that all my experiences are bad.  Truthfully, I am an optim...

The Italian Job

Recently, it seems a popular opinion to worry about my single status.  It's as though upon turning 30, I hung a "Desperate, Please Help" sign around my neck.   There are comments about ...
