About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Convince the world that "Friends" in general and David Schwimmer in particular, are both irritating and quotidian

ABOUT ME

I've been called an iconoclast, political gadfly and instigator. But I'm really a nice guy :) I have trouble with authority and feel the average American today is anything but. I don't tolerate idiots very well...or lawyers. I love the free market, free thinkers, self-reliant and independent people. I am also a rabid atheist...so, all in all, I represent about 1% of the population. Oh yeah...I ran for U.S. Congress as a Libertarian. Twice.

PHILOSOPHY

If I die of vanity, promise me they bury me someplace I don't want to be...you'll dig me up and transport me...unceremoniously...away from the swollen city breeze, garbage-bag trees, whispers of disease, acts of enormity...and lower me slowly and sadly and properly...and get Gord Downie to sing my eulogy.

Interests

I enjoy reading...esp sci-fi. I love crosswords and Sudoku. I am religious about going to the gym and love to travel as well. I also enjoy steel tip darts and shooting pistols. All the safe sports :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a helicopter fly low over my head at night and launch a barrage of tracer fire into some 50-gallon drums of diesel fuel. The resulting explosions were the coolest thing I have ever seen.
