I rarely add or change much on my homenode because I'm not entirely convinced anyone ever reads it. Prove me wrong with a msg.

Msgs from: bitriot, eien_meru, archiewood, spiregrain, Wiccanpiper, mauler, grundoon, passport, Posmella, futilelord, kelsorama, Ancientsnow, Augustine, Timeshredder, jessicaj, Feryl, dem bones, alex, and tentative.

Being proven wrong every now and again is a pleasant surprise. Keep those cards and letters coming!

I stink at creating bios of myself but excel at creating bulleted lists. With apologies to swankivy...

I collect all types of stuff, but my Halloween, stamp, and flag collections are my favorites.

I have ADD.

I wrote a letter to George H.W. Bush in 1989...and he wrote me back!

My sister and my father have both met Little Richard.

I own six guns.

I've hosted a weekly radio show on my college station since 2005.

I am fascinated by all religions, but stick to Protestant Christianity.

I share the same initials with three of the four people in my immediate family.

I've played the drums since 1997, but have never been a member of a real band.

My favorite group is The Ramones.

I am a magnet for strange people. Wal-Mart, gas stations, antique stores...weirdos just walk right up and tell me their life stories.

My favorite holiday is Halloween.

I have no interest in drinking alcohol. This has drawn the ire of a surprising number of people.

If you want a frighteningly realistic picture of what I look like, do an image search on Google for "Lupin III".

More bulletins as events warrant.

If you happen to live in the Middle/East Tennessee area (Putnam County and the immediate vicinity, more specifically), you can hear me on the radio! Tune into Radar's Hit List every Wednesday night (when Tennessee Tech is in session) from 10PM to 12AM on WTTU 88.5 FM. It's probably the only radio show around where you'll hear Garth Brooks and The Dead Kennedys...played back-to-back.

A word about my User Bookmarks: If you see your writeup on this list, congratulations! If/when I gain the coveted power to C!, I will go down my bookmarks and C! those writeups first. Until then, consider your addition to this list to be a notch above getting an upvote, but just shy of getting a C!.
