About Me


I work hard. I play hard. I rarely have time to just sit around and vedge. I say "Get out, get off your ass and live life to the fullest!!!" I am really a great guy once you get to know me, I've been told I can be pretty intense sometimes, quiet at other times, or just outright sarcastic at other times, don't take me so seriously.
I often have so much going on at any given time, I need to relax. I try to spend alot of my free time in the Florida Keys. When I go there, I like to forget about everything and party on a sandbar or fish offshore. During the summer months I like to go offshore fishing here in Ft Lauderdale. I've always been drawn to the ocean. I must have been a sailor in another lifetime. ;p
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Thomas and I grew up a poor black child. I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and kicking ass. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees and I manage time efficiently.
I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Hashish Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
I am the subject of numerous documentaries. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Children trust me.
I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week, when I do sleep, I sleep in a cane chair. I have full medical and dental coverage.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
"life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away..."
I've been in Sales & PR my whole life, disregard the BS, there is very little of that to be found here.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
...and of course, Chuck Norris.

What Shall I Say About the Irish?The utterly impractical, never predictable, Sometimes irascible, quite inexplicable, Irish. Strange blend of shyness, pride and conceit, And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat. He's spoiling and ready to argue and fight, Yet the smile of a child fills his soul with delight. His eyes are the quickest to well up with tears, Yet his strength is the strongest to banish your fears. His hate is as fierce as his devotion is grand, And there is no middle ground on which he will stand. He's wild and he's gentle, he's good and he's bad. He's proud and he's humble, he's happy and sad. He's in love with the ocean, the earth and the skies, He's enamoured with beauty wherever it lies. He's victor and victim, a star and a clod, But mostly he's Irish— in love with his God.
