My Interests

My French bulldog, Norman, and my black pug, Stella. Tommy, local music, politics, digital video, photography, Internet, MySpace and Facebook, TV, movies, floating in the pool, drums, tattoos, and modern interior design.

I'd like to meet:

George W Bush, so I could kick him in the balls...and Dick Cheney, so I could hit him in the head with a hammer.
But, for real, I'd like to meet Barack Obama and my favorite Senator, Russ Feingold
