Staying two steps ahead of sanity since 1976

About Me

Hah! About me, eh? As most of you know (cause if you didn't, then you don't know me, and then you wouldn't be on my page), there's a lot of things that I have been involved in and have done. I tried to live my life by the philosophy that I could kick it at any time so I'm going to do some very fun things as long as I'm here. While I won't blather on about things I've done the majority of the time, if it comes up in conversation, don't be surprised to find something out. Here's a quickie list. Did you know that: - I have done a bit of jumping out of planes? - It's only due to timing and a fluke why I'm not in the military right now? - That the scar on my leg is from being impaled by a branch in the woods? - That I have a good list of interesting people that I have met and I think I can give Kevin Bacon (who I am one degree away from via two different sources) a run for his money? - That I considered child psychology and sex therapy as career paths before I went the forensic route? So I could go on, or you could ask, or it can just come up in daily conversation. All of these things make me who I am along with the inherent cockiness of being a New Yorker and a Leo. For that reason, my short response to this section is this: Hang out long enough, you'll find out.

You're Mead!

What Type of Alcoholic Beverage Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are Jayne, the bravo of the group. You may not
be too bright, but you got muscles and can hit
a man in the neck from 500 yards with a bent
scope. You send money to your mother and as
much has you may dislike it, you're a hero.

Which Firefly character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You were destined to have a Red Lightsaber.Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is
associated with energy, war, danger, strength,
power, and determination as well as passion and
desire. You have seen the Strength and Power of
the Dark Side of the Force and have you thirst
for more of it.

Letter to a Coffee Shop....

Dear Dunkin Donuts at the Jefferson Park CTA, I had an experience this morning that defied rational thought. I contemplated the scenario and replayed the events over and over in my head, however faile...

Popeye's as the new Starbucks?

Many of you already know of my distaste for Starbuck's almost fanatical insistence on their "unique" sizing system and calling it by the "correct" name. Yeah. I don't go there.About a half an hour ago...

The End

I don't think it has fully sunk in that they actually/finally closed CBGBs the other night. I really don't think it will hit home until the next time I'm in NYC and walk by that old hole and then I'll...

Already?

So once again a great TV show has gone off the air. For those of you who caught it, Smith is gone. Good actors (Ray Liotta as the main man, and Virginia Madsen as his wife), good story, good idea. Why...

Two days ago, it seemed to be a slow news morning. As I was getting ready for work, I heard many things that gave me pause. Oh where things have gone when news programs are padding the story to fill o...
