About Me

I enjoy aimlessly walking around my village muttering incoherent phrases to myself. If I come across a shiny penny the more the better. It makes my aimless pursuits not so pointless (not that "aimless" or "pointless" are negative aspects of life) and, any shiny pennies I might find go nicely with my other shiny pennies. I am also an undercover agent of Interzone, A Surfer, Snowboarder, Skier, Mountain-biker, Skateboarder. I ran three marathons last year in 2005 -Las Vegas, LA, LBC (Best Time LV: 4:03:34) I also sail on occasion, (yet, I am a sooper dooper nice guy) A Zen Master, (your daddy) Guitarist and scientist trying to rid the world of evil and evil doers... I forgot to mention I try to donate Platelets (blood product) every two weeks with the American Red Cross in Santa Anna Cali Redcross.org. I also like taking long walks alone on an empty beach all lonely and sensitive and stuff.
