I rock so good. I rock so well.
I’ll ring-ding-ding a-dang-ding-a-dingy-dingy,
I’ll ring your bell (ding dong)!
I like dogs, writing songs, playing guitar, bike riding, the color blue, thriftscoring, rock skipping, board games, spending time with friends (who for some reason tend to be smart, funny, liberal types who play music - yea!), writing really long MySpace profiles, Going to sleep every night listening to radio programs from the 1940's, organization, cleanliness, being keen, sometimes waffles, buying records, watching old movies and basketball games, making loverly velvet paintings, "beating" spellcheck, having fun, not complaining, strong opinions (yours and mine!), good design in anything, unusual design in some things, rocking, crooning, going out to see bands play, bad swing dancing (want to improve), trying new restaurants, shooting hoops, playing tennis (even though I never do), road trips, trying to figure out how to use semicolons, history, museums, going to hot rod and custom car shows and sleeping ... and also lollygagging. Especially lollygagging. I love lollygagging! If you want to do something that involves lollygagging, I AM THERE. You don't even have to ask. My personal website is lollygag.com (currently "under construction"). Yep. Lollygagging. It's what I do. It's "Who I Am."

You Are a Powdered Devil's Food Donut
A total sweetheart on the outside, you love to fool people with your innocent image.
On the inside you're a little darker, richer, and more complex.
You're a hedonist who demands more than one pleasure at a time.
Decadent and daring, you test the limits of human indulgence.
What Donut Are You?
Someone who will do a karaoke duet of “Islands In The Stream†with me.

Too much! I have a huge vinyl record collection. Occasionally DJ. The radio is always ON; usually classical or jazz or uh...C-89.5 (don't judge me)!

Some GARAGE ROCK (Think Sonics/Wailers). ANY catchy POP music... 80's HIP HOP. The Boogie Boys. And all those sappy 70's songs that remind me of Skateland, school clothes shopping and going to Little League practice.

Charles Lindbergh. Charles Mingus. Jack Parr. Dale Carnegie. Gale Sayers... Creative people with uncompromised vision, but without the arrogance of assuming that their way is the only way. Anyone who tries to abide by their own personal Cowboy Code. Decent human beings who are AWARE of life and fully appreciate that even writing and reading something as silly as this is a luxury that should never be taken for granted. Funny people. People who try ...
