About Me

Most of you already know me pretty well, otherwise we wouldn't be friends, but for newcomers and the Vernon Faithful alike, a few words on, well, me. If I could, I would spend my days at the beach surfing, on the mountains snowboarding and in canyons causing mayhem on obsecenely-fast sportbikes.
Visions of Eden aside, my earthly days are spent riding a high-performance corner desk at my 9-5 grind; not exactly Laguna Seca, but it pays the bills. Outside of work I get my jollies from live music. You can see some of the acts I dig on the left, and I'm always open to checking out new ones.
I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I do serious work at the bowling alley. Billiards also tickle my fancy and once in a blue moon I've been known to hit the links.
All things considered, I like to think I am generally a good-natured person. People think I'm quiet, but I guess I prefer to listen and speak when I have something important to say. My friends and family are a big part of my life, and I've about had it with trifling girls and the machinations of dating.
Have a plan, stick to it.
