Super cool since 1978

About Me

I'm 30. I work a lot. I like cartoons. My son drives me bonkers. I own a lot of paint. I'm currently watching a dumb commercial with people running around a grocery store like they are having a race. I like to read fiction books. I think more states should legalize marijuana for medical purposes. I think that cow tipping is just cruel. I like extra cheese pizza with light sauce. I sometimes miss being a teacher. I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'd like to learn more yoga and actually practice it. I used to coach my son's soccer team. I sometimes wonder why Stewie is British. I hope the Colts do well this year. I'm not a fan of Robot Chicken. I wish I could choke all the people on Sonic commercials...but not for real...a cartoon type of choke would be just fine.Ok...I guess that's good enough.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jack Kerouac, my Grandma Liberti (though I have met her before...a lot, I just want to talk to her more), my mom's dad, Louis Armstrong, Marie Laveau, Abraham Lincoln, Van Morrison, President Bush...without a ton of press around.

Lame

My posts on here are so lame.  I think it's time to go back to a nearly audience-free form of writing.  It just hit me that maybe I do really suck at writing and that's why I never finish an...
