About Me

Laissez les bon temps rouler, y'all
Adam playing strip Paper, Scissors, Rock wit De Lawd!!"

I loathe pickles. I'm happily married. I'm built for comfort not for speed. I like to drink adult beverages at several favorite watering holes. I don't have kids. I'm almost 50. I am a proponent of ingesting very high quality, naturally fibrous plants for easing the stresses of daily life (grin). I have a great job. I mostly love New Orleans cultcha. I'll talk to anyone about anything. I own a home in the middle of New Orleans. I'm a very good parallel parker. I'm a lousy fix-it man. I have a very good sense of place/time/direction. I go out a lot to see live local music (except HOB). I like innovative ideas and people. I usually am a good listener. I am still curious about many things.
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." -Steven Roberts

I'm a Deeply Unspiritual Atheist...

I like Dogs...

I have 2 Old English Sheepdogs. Come on out to the dog levee with your mutt...the dogs don't bite and neither do most of the owners.

I LOVE Mardi Gras...

I march in Krewe Du Vieux - Drips and Discharges

..TR

Movies:


I like a simple movie. I would usually rather drown in someone else's puke than waste my time watching someone's "art translated into a film". Ponderous pacing, sparse dialog, furtive glances, visual gimmicks, pointless actions or inane time-shifting piss me off. GET TO THE FUCKING POINT! /P
