About Me

....I'm a writer but can't seem to stop designing things. I love the A-Team, but also the Golden Girls. I hate messy rooms but mine usually is. The color blue relaxes me. I can draw a better palm tree than you. I love the beach but don't go there enough. I find humor in things that are backwards. I want to own a zoo one day. I want to be the guy who gets to name hurricanes. Skywriting amuses me, but I rarely see it. I could eat Chinese food every day. Sometimes I do. I can play the guitar both forwards and backwards. I don't like coffee, but I do talk fast. I'm fascinated by space. I used to be scared of tornados. I once ate fried rattlesnake. I once had dinner with all the wives of the members of Motley Crue. I save too much and throw out too little. I once almost died while whitewater rafting. I'll make 7 consecutive 3-pointers in basketball and then miss an easy lay up. I love to drive. I think Cher is terrible. I used to spend my summers in Maine. Meerkats are my favorite animal. I think yodeling is under-appreciated. You can't do it, can you? I love the smell of Coppertone suntan lotion. Alarm clocks don't like me. I get way too many flat tires but I change them myself. I once got 75 points off of one word in Scrabble. I can't remember which one, but "triple word score" was definitely involved.

It's true - the secret to falling alseep is to clear your mind, and not think about trying to fall asleep. Simple I know, but it's a pretty important metaphor for life as well. Sometimes, the things...
