About Me

The following is absolutely true:

I've spent a night on Alcatraz. I've been slapped by nuns. I have an uncanny ability to figure out wrapped gifts. My parents made puppets ... no, thats not some deeper metaphor.
Sometimes, I move the governor's furniture for him. Other times when I'm working, I'm likely bump my head on the ceiling. I've protected Sinatra and delivered bok choy to hungry Jewish families. I had my first business card when I was 11. I travel frequently. I am the proud father of siamese twins. I like boxy cars and convertibles.
I like to saute things especially in olive oil. One day I will be the Italian Ice King of LA. I once ate so many carrots, I started to turn orange. I've never eaten an unfrozen Charleston Chew bar. I love coffee so dark I can taste the ground. Almost anything tastes good to me ... if you put some balsamic on it ... except kielbasa ... Kielbasa just sucks.
I've made it snow in Guam. When I was young, I couldn't skip ... but somehow now walk on a ball for a living. Sometimes, people pay me a lot of money to not say a thing. I've built a robot and dated a few foot models. I went to magic camp.
I have an affinity for Sharpies, every size and color. I enjoy gifts with meaning, people that can always surprise you, and creative challenges. Some of my favorite words are nautical, gazebo, and juggernaut. Typically, I like words that have a "U" and repeating letters like rudder or blubber!
In my world there are a lot of fiercely talented freaks, sunrises, smiling children, and people cropping their resumes to fit neatly on to their headshots. I miss fishing in my grandpa's river during the summer. But I miss my grandfather much much more.
Occasionally, I may find Bruce Jenner's helicopter sitting in my livingroom. I am nomadic, fair, and purposely immature. I live with a puppeteer (why are there always puppets around me?) and a guy who works with NASA. For some unknown reasons ... I've never played paintball, snowboarded, or lost a finger.
I can be seen on tv ... although I do not own one. I can make myself sneeze on command and am highly coordinated. My sister once got a googly-eye stuck in her ear.
I dislike the flavor combination of orange and chocolate, but nowhere as much as I hate rice pudding. My memory sucks, with the exception of childhood phone numbers. I never really wanted to be an astronaut. I am not a morning person. I'm barely an afternoon person. There is almost always a balloon somewhere within my arms reach ... somewhere.
