Here's your chance to learn some sketchy details about me, glance at a photo back "when I was innocent," and let you hear the voices inside my head. ("They're talking to me!!!!")

My Personality
Laughing pup
I'm not a member of any religious cult, nor have I ever voted Republican (nor will I ever). I also don't date Republicans. (Hey—I've gotta have *some* standards, ya know!)
Laughing pup
I'm just a darned cheery guy with an offbeat sense of humor. I smile and laugh a lot. Every once in a while I get moody, but only when it's my time of the month!
Laughing pup
I'm very interested in pop culture and psychology, but I couldn't care less about art, history, cars, sports, or the stock market. I also maintain that there's a difference between people who have bad taste by choice and those who simply don't know any better.
Laughing pup
I have absolutely no use for mornings—nothing important ever happened before noon. Somehow, though, I haven't been able to turn the world around to my way of thinking.
Laughing pup
I'm absolutely crazy about blondes (real or from a bottle). I'm sure there's some deep-seated psychological cause behind this, but I don't know what. Of course, being blonde isn't a requirement!
Laughing pup
I've been accused of often giving unsolicited advice. Hey, I can't help it that I'm a fount of wisdom! (They probably mocked Confucius, too!)

My Thoughts

Children are made to be eaten. They scream; they poop; they cost a lot. I'd rather have a high-definition plasma TV.

Any gifts I am ever given containing the word Chia will be promptly returned to the giver along with a thorough boxing of the snout.

My own idea of a personal Hell is having 500 cable stations, and all of them are showing Full House.


And a Little More About My Past
Little kid smiling
I was constantly subjected to frightening foods of my mother's creation during my formative years. Worse yet, she'd make you guess what was in the dishes. The scariest: A bizarre Christmas concoction of tuna fish, oranges, cinnamon, coconut, mayonnaise, pepper, garlic powder, and pecans!

Since I wasn't allowed to have other pets, I had to stick with Sea Monkeys. (For the uninitiated, they are actually tiny, green brine shrimp.) It should be mentioned that they die in about a day, make the water smell awful, and don't wear little gold crowns like on the box.

Number of "little Korean girls" my mother repeatedly insisted she would adopt because she wanted me to have a sister: One. Number she actually adopted: None.

Number of years I've suggested to my family going to the Baby Dolls Gentlemen's Entertainment club on Northwest Highway for its free Thanksgiving lunch: Three. Number of times my family has accepted: None.
