Who am I?

about me
I am a person who has too many interests and too little time.

I am fascinated by people, and became a writer largely because I hate being trapped in one life.

I solve problems, I create problems, largely my being revolves around problems. I have always hoped that anyone asked to describe me would be able to use the word indescribable, but I'm not certain anyone ever has. I am a pessimist, which is in reality just an optimistic problem solver (If you enjoy solving problems, you have to hope they exist).

I'm working on learning to stay in the moment, too... I keep forgetting that, until after the fact.

Hi there internet, how are you? It's been a while. I know I've been a terrible friend, but, well, I've been busy. Insanely busy. Possibly inanely busy. Oi... al work, and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And all fork and no plate makes kelp a dull meal. I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mate, I'm only plucking pheasants 'cuz the pheasant plucker's late. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many peppers did Peter Piper pick? Probably the most preposterous pronounc... read more

Dear Friends, Seasons Greetings from Springfield. It’s been a rough year at Cobra. As most of you probably know, we were forced to sever our relationship with Destro, and instead go with Cap Gemini Ernst and Young as our auditors and weapons suppliers, which ultimately lead to the departure of Baroness Anastasia DeCobray. We wish Stacy all [...]

[NOTE: I’m a bit late in posting this, and wrote the post weeks back, so accept my apology for the delay] Okay, so I have heard the hype for years now. And then I got a fresh dose of it when the movie came out, so I checked out the movie. I will admit it’s a [...]

Sunday afternoons in my childhood were a fond time for me. Lazily sitting around after lunch with nothing good to watch on the usual TV channels, which were taken over by sports, and mediocrity, I would try in vain to find anything approaching acceptable. Anything that might classify as a good diversion. This was how [...]

I’m a bit late in posting on this, but on September 19th, which is International Talk-Like-a-Pirate Day, and, probably more importantly, my mother’s birthday, “Zero Killer” issue 2 came out. To be honest, “Zero Killer” is nothing like either pirates or my mother, but I feel that my mother, talking like a pirate could be [...]

What would Yoda do? (blog entry) So, my girlfriend has been making fun of Obama's slogan for the past few weeks, because it lacks an all important "the."

It should likely be "The change we mean," or at the very least that's the general point it's making. But she keeps saying i... read more

Giant Tiny Country (blog entry) I have a bit of a fetish for tiny countries. Especially the ones you can walk across in a day. By that standard, Luxembourg is ginormous, and you would have to walk pretty fast to get across it. In fact, it would help if you were DC comics charact... read more

It's National Poison Prevention Week! (blog entry) What? Seriously? Okay, this has to stop. I understand that causes need publicity. I really seriously do understand that. And I understand how upset you would be if one of your loved ones was poisoned. But for Christ's sake, seriously? It is actual... read more

Back in the USA! (blog entry) I'm back, and better than... Well, to be honest, I've developed a cold. In fact the whole cold has come on between when I woke up this morning, and now. While flying. Not a very pleasant way to develop a cold. I guess there's no good way to develo... read more
