Confusing to some, simplistic to others. An all-around cowboy. A one-man band. The guy you call when you need either a date for your office Christmas party, or to find out where they tow your car after you've been thrown in jail. Nice girls look at me and say, "Now there's someone who could on occasion let me be 'Crazy Back In College Girl' AND I can take him to my cousins wedding." The bad girls look at me as their last shot at the Junior League. I've run across politicians, preachers, prostitutes, pushers, presidents of companies and policemen along this long and interesting path I've chosen and learned that you're about as likely to find kindness in the hearts of the scorned as you are getting bent over a log by the ones making the rules.
I spend my daytime hours entering complete stranger's houses and looking in their closets (relax....I'm a real estate appraiser). I play in a few bands during the nighttime hours, Dogkickers (www.dogkickers.com if you're interested), Green Apple Quickstep and most recently joined up with Donnie Ray Ford for a project or two. The music thing has gotten WAY out of hand lately for this workin' boy but you'd never think I was even aware of that fact given the schedule I keep. I'm a member of a family that would go to the ends of the earth to help me if I needed it (they've been tested....by me...on that one) but I was raised to make decisions as to minimize the need for any help. You'll know what I mean when you notice the lack of psychotic episodes and temper-tantrums you encounter when you're around me.
