About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Time travel

ABOUT ME

Beer and friends is my favorite combo. I've been living in LA for five years and the people around me have made it all worth while. I live with my girlfriend, Stef, who is wonderful. When I'm in LA, golfing on the weekends is a staple. You can't beat a leisurely stroll through a park, hitting a little white ball while drinking a beer or coffee.
I sold my car since I prefer instead to ride my bicycle. When riding I find I use the sentence "What the fuck! You fucking asshole! You ever hear of a fucking blinker?" far less. A couple times per month I will go on a late night bike ride with several hundred other people. Very relaxing and a great way to see new parts of LA.
Art shows, music shows, anything weird (i.e. battling robots, Lucha Libre, evil puppet shows), parties, movies, painting, writing, hiking with my dog, snowboarding. Wow this is getting long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was drinking in a bar once when I heard a KACHINK. Without looking, or thinking, my hand reached out and caught an 8 ball that was scratched from a pool table 15 feet away. Inspirational!

Hmmmm...I need to think about this one.
