About Me

Well, I was born one time. In a far away land. The my parents took me to the land of "freedom" and I grew up there and was raised like a good old suburban boy. I liked playing with Legos, digging holes in my yard/landscaping, building airports, and looking at maps as a young kid. I went to High School, ran some marathons, over-achieved way too much, learned a couple of languages and waited tables and day dreamed about buying my own car. Then came college, I got this cool job throwing bags at 19 for an airline in sweaty Houston weather where I could fly for free. I learned about transportation planning in college. Then I got involved with Urban Transportation Planning in the public sector, where I got scared away with all the politics and angry union workers in Austin. I decided to pursue airline route planning, did some geeky research, and graduated. I moved out to Arizona sick of Texas politics, and yearning for some beautiful desert landscape. Before getting a 'real job' at the Company Temple here in Phoenix, I figured I'd enjoy life a bit more, while staying with the company I want to be with. I used to be a stewardess where I enjoyed devouring leftover peanuts, first class food, barking at passengers over the P.A. to sit down, and scrutinizing for Bin Laden look-a-likes. Now I work in the training department where I teach people how to hand out peanuts, throw people out of burning airplanes, or cram into those little life rafts that you can't bring luggage or high-heels (pop!). All with the benefits of seeing the world for free. I guess I'll eventually grow up. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I like boys, although my life goal is to force myself to have sex with a woman. Must do!Feel as if you need to stalk more? That unquenchable desire to learn more about this odd being? Go to http://riojaneiro.tripod.com

So, is that what professionalism is like?

So, I'm officially a 9 to 5-er now. Make that more like an 8 to 6-er, actually. I have my own cute little cubicle and soon I'll have my own email/phone number and business cards. It's almost overwhelm...

Rotten tangerines in Hawaii and cream-filled muffins

So, there goes Thomas again on his masquerades across the Hawaiian Islands. On this trip, I learned that I need to be much more selective on people that I take on trips. Ive been burned too many times...

(no subject)

Happy Thomas is back. Maybe it was the getaway I took to Flagstaff. Or the realization that I'm not going to wait up for people and try to read their minds. Or just a refocus on my job and think that...

"minding the gap"

So, preliminary report on London: so-so. I guess I enjoy the thrill of the big culture shock, and London really isn't anything too shocking. Perhaps its because I've been to quite a few parts of Europ...

revisiting the Live Music Capital of the World

Maybe it's springtime in hot, humid, green, white-puffy cloud Texas that I liked. Or the fact that I saw a friend who went through a lot of hardship during college finish up her degree. Or seeing the&...
