About Me

I have a very dry sense of humor, an active imagination (it's good for my storytelling) and enjoy amusing myself and others with my tomfoolery. I sometimes can't sit still -- and if I am able to, my mind is always racing. I like to believe I am a robot (i.e. no emotions), but my real friends know the truth (I will NEVER admit to crying, however, regardless of what story they tell you). I have a big heart -- but you will ONLY see that if I enjoy your company. The details annoy me -- I like the big picture. I work well under stress, and often put myself into stressful situations to give myself a bit of a challenge. I am an animal lover. I enjoy reading non-fiction....except for looking at US Weekly in the grocery store. I'm trying to edumacate myself in the arts as I am not as well versed as I think I should be at this stage in the game. Multi-tasking is a strength of mine. My left-brain tendencies always have me analyzing, thinking, moving, etc......which seems to keep me out of trouble....sometimes.

My Interests

Hiding from the police. Changing flat tires on my car. Throwing up gang signs. Dancing to N'Sync in my house. Tripping up the steps. Races (like the Shamrock Shuffle, Muddy Buddy, random 8k's, etc. But not that damn marathon -- I did that back in 2002 and NEVER AGAIN. My knees are still angry with me for that one).

I'd like to meet:

People that: (1) Make me laugh (2) Can roll in non-trendy establishments -- and truly enjoy it (so if you're questioning if I will go to Japonais, you know your answer) (3) Understand that our day jobs are there for a purpose -- to allow us to buy food and TP -- and do NOT define us (4) Enjoy tomfoolery and sarcasm (5) Like to people watch (6) Can challenge me mentally (7) Would be willing to have a running race with me

Music:

I enjoy music that gets me going for a work-out (GANGSTA RAP). But as stated above, I'm expanding my horizons and trying to get a bit out of all genres.

Movies:

I enjoy all types of movies -- but I am not a big fan of the massive gore (Saw, anyone?). I probably will vomit on you during a movie like that.

Television:

I really really really try not to watch TV. I watch WGN Channel 9 news in the morning -- the tomfoolery is the best around.

Books:

Lately -- school books. But other items include: Prescription for Nutritional Healing -- I like to diagnosis myself with various diseases and then take supplements to try to cure them (I'm kidding....kind of). Non-fiction..The World is Flat is good. And the Band Played On makes me sad, but it is a reality. Working with Emotional Intelligence is interesting. Losing the Race is thought-provoking. Just a few off the top of my head....

Heroes:

My cat, Duke. He fell off a 4 story balcony and survived. I hope that if I ever fall off a balcony I will survive as well.

Fattie

There is this fattie at my gym that always is in my weight classes. She tries to compete with me -- lifting the same amount of weights as me, doing as many reps as me, trying to act cool like me, etc....

Deep thoughts in the alley

I was in the alley this evening, per the usual, feeding my two stray cats. I am the cat whisperer and my cat friends are just now starting to trust me, after almost a month of feeding them. ...

What’s wrong with this picture?

Another day, another depastification opportunity. Only this was a special day as I had my camera with me and decided it was a great opportunity to spy on my neighbors. To the south of me are some ver...

Do I look like a nice person?

I'll answer that one for you: NO. I've been told all of my life that I look like a bitch. How I carry myself. How I walk down the street. How I don't smile, unless I like you. I really don't care. Pl...

The Hood

The hood is quiet this morning, except for the goddamn gospel music blasting from my neighbor's window. Jesus christ (literally) -- SHUT THE FUCK UP. I posted some pics of the hood TAKEN WIT...
