About Me

I'm a funny guy.....He said to a deafening silence(oxymoron)
You Are 72% Gentleman
You are definitely a gentleman. You're very considerate and you have excellent manners.
Occasionally, you slip and do something foolish... but usually no one notices! Are You A Gentleman?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Woody Allen, Ingmar Bergman, Kurt Vonnegut, J.D. Salinger,the Monty Python crew
You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris.
You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. What European City Do You Belong In?
You Are 25% Left Brained, 75% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. Are You Right or Left Brained?

Two things, both postive and negetive, happened this week. Lets bring up the negetive: my dog had to be put to sleep. I've had this dog since I was ten, and since that time she's become a part of the ...

the stuff dreams are made of

So I opened an envelope today, and inside of it contained my form for the pop culture conference I've been invited to. It's a reality, I'm going to read a short story that I wrote to an audience. WOW....

Onward to something new

As most of you readers know (I hope anyway), I graduated in May. Now it is really time to face adult responsiblities. For a while, I was employed at Cost Plus, but no more. I did not hate the job nece...

You're a silly person and I refuse to interview you

There is something that's been bugging me for a while, and I thought it was time to get it off my chest. I cannot stand film geeks (ironic for a guy who majored in film), but it is true. I have my rea...

Lemon Curry

I just wrote a brillant piece of blog, but hit a wrong button, and erased everything, so I will start from the top the best I can. Summer is practically over, and Fall brings (to me at least) the unwe...

The end....and beginning (where's the middle?)

After spending the day wandering through Maryland Parkway drinking from my brown paper bag, and meeting with my bridge group, I thought it'd be wise to write a blog for you sexy creatures. I now have ...

Cap(no relation to Andy)

It has been a while since I've vomited on the computer screen, so I thought I'd better pick up the habit again tonight. I bought my cap and gown  two weeks ago, and on Friday I mailed my Graduati...
