is this the little box where i am supposed to type in something deep and profound

About Me

its not about me an shouldnt be. life is not simplistic an neither am i.however this is my stupid abbreviated bio, at least what i'll let you ,rupert murdoch an big brother know.i was in the junior olympics at age 14 and did well until other diversions got in the way. since then ive been a bike messenger for 15 years three of those years i spent as president of the messenger association fighting corrupt labor practices among other things.before that i was firefighter in oregon fighting forest fires during the fire season and a tree planter in the winter,and played in a couple of bands .i live in san francisco .i love to travel an have been lucky enough to have been to 16 countries some as a roadie for a band and, some as a racer in the cycle messenger world championships,i also do collage artwork and it actually sells an gets printed.i like going to shows locally an out of town on a whim,but MOST OF ALL I'M A BIG DORK, who likes a good laugh with friends.
