Foremost, psychology and proponents for 'myasthenia gravis' research, a disorder I am diagnosed with. I'm an avid chess player, cyclist, proficient snowboarder as well. I enjoy visiting Colorado, so I'm saving up that "vaca" time, which is not afforded to this junior animator lol. I am sentimental about beagles and avid about my BMW. My favorite poet is Ovid. And, well, I love Atlanta, but I despise the traffic, though working for Turner and the independent 'Atlantean' as art editor makes it all worthwhile. I love the paintings of Jacques Louis David. All modern art, in turn, is great bosh-especially Kinckade.*************************UPDATE February 10, 2008: A friend recently informed me of another good cause. If you're able, please consider giving what you can, in time or money, to the www.engagehivaids.com program.*************************UPDATE MAY 22, 2007: I've been toying with the idea of a charity calendar to raise money for the Children's Hospital or a specific child in need of support (if you know of someone, please let me know).
I'd like to meet:
