Radical Equations are not as exciting as they sound.

About Me

I teach math. I play music. I play in more bands than I can count. I wish I could write better music, but I can't. I wish I had written the song "Joan" by Butch Walker. I play the guitar, a lot. I also tend to find myself completely immersed in pop culture for some reason or another. I live in a trailer in a small town in Oklahoma. An oppossum lives there, too. Somewhere between the floor and the insulation. I do not enjoy his company. Sometimes I hear him rooting around, and when I do, I hit the floor with a golf club in hopes that the sudden, loud noise will frighten the furry animal and he will decide that taking up residence beneath my feet was a huge mistake. He does not decide that, and I nearly ruin my floor.I was also thoroughly confused by the plot of Lord of the Rings, because I misunderstood the tagline to be "One ring to rule the mall".I also thought X-Men was going to be a movie about some dudes that had a sex change operation.

My Interests

On most of my other online profiles, I have made some sort of corny math joke about calculating compound or continuous interest. I have since decided that this was a bad idea. I am now interested in not making jokes in the interest section of my online profiles. I may have failed.

I'd like to meet:

Humans or koalas but not aliens or badgers.

All.

Because Jason begged

I saw a sign the other day that said "Lots for sale", so I decided to check it out because I thought they might have some pretty cool stuff. Maybe some guitar gear, good mustard, or a velvet painting ...

Some Jokes I Hope I Made Up

A blackjack player is a lot like a pedophile. Both rarely hit on anything over 16. I'm pretty sure that Dolph Lundgren, the Russian guy from one of the Rocky movies, would be a whole lot less intimid...

What if (part 1) ....

- Every time you took twenty steps you had to stop, shake your booty for a sec, and whisper "sweet sassy molassy". - "Malcolm in the Middle" was really a show about the wild sexual exploits ...
