about me


As I said, I'm a loner,..except when I'm not. If I'm involved and challenged in a project, don't expect to hear from me for a day or two,.. or ten. The synapses are firing broadsides,and I have learned to seize the inspiration and just frigg'in go for it. What's sooo cool about my job, is I set my own challenges, then tackle them. It's wild!
But then there are my friends. I have pretty good character judgement, and being born on the first of April, I don't suffer fools. SO I have the weirdest, wackiest, ecclectic conglomeration of friends ya ever saw. I hang with hippies and cops, liberals and admirals, suits and shirts, seniors and juniors, straights and gays, you name it. It just takes listenning, to find a common thread.
To you all out there- thanks for putting up with me so far.

I saw my mom this am at the nursing home and saw something. or felt something- a shadow , or something dark. She was so exhausted she couldn't carry on a conversation. I wrote four paragraphs on facebook this afternoon and deleted it as I thought I might be tempting fate. Several calls from nurses and doctors later, I am in the emergency room at St Johns. Basically she's dying.

Life is too complicated for religious fundamentalists. Can't we like give them allan island somewhere? Mauretania or somewhere off the main drag(no joke if any queens are reading this)?
I was just appalled at what I h... read more

Worldwide. Our friends and allies will also be happier. And a stronger united front will make the true enemies of the US stand up and take notice.

My Testimonials

December 28, 2007
When ever I think of Andy there is only one real phrase that comes to mind.
“Hey, you sass that hoopy Andy? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)

I love Andy, he gives me merlot and always runs screaming from me and that makes me giggle. Also, I can have conversations with the man and he actually recognized that I have a brain and know how to use it too! Did I mention that he is an incredible cook?? I miss California!!! ::sniff sniff::

Andy is; Awesome, intelligent, funny, sarcastic, witty, historically accurate, psychotic and fun. Everything a person needs in a friend.

"You sank my Battlemech!!!" That's what I yelled at Andy years ago shortly after we'd been introduced as we played Battletech on the floor of Pugsley's trailer. Right then and there I was intrioduced to the brillant tactical mind of Andy. We've been friends ever since. He has an understanding of Military history that one can only rival, and a collection of toys I wish I could call my own. Andy is a great person (though a bit evil) and I'm proud to call him friend. BTW Andy you still owe me an illustration of your brillant tactical victory. "You sank my battlemech!"
