It's All About....

• My SO and I are best friends. He's a cocky, fast-thinking, occasional trouble-making wise-ass. And the funniest and sweetest guy on earth. What more could any woman want?
  
• I love books. My personal, in-home library is crammed to capacity. If I buy any more books, I am going to need a bigger house.
  
• Kevin Smith is the man! Screenwriter, director, producer, author, actor, comic book afficianado, the man can do it all. For crying out loud, don't ask me "who is Kevin Smith?" He's Silent Bob. He's the man who discovered Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. He's the man who wrote, directed, AND acted in movie greats such as Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, etc. (Find out more at ViewAskewniverse). I've met Kevin twice at his comic book store in Red Bank, New Jersey. To read about my first trip to Jersey, please click on The Pilgrimmage.
  
• Luke Skywalker or Han Solo? That's not even a challenge; it's Han all the way. Now Han Solo or Indiana Jones...now that's a tough one. I like smart men, and Indiana does have that whip.....*evil grin*
  
• Mini Coopers rock. You either get it, or you don't. There's nothing like having a piece of the British racing experience. My piece is electric blue with white roof, mirrors, and tires.
  
• I Might Not Be a Ninja, But....I can still kick your ass in the head. *grin* I took up Tae Kwon Do at the age of 29, the result of having my mid-life crisis a decade early, and it turns out I'm really good at the sport. I've got a host of trophies, including one that is taller than I am! I'm now doing both Tae Kwon Do and Jow Ga Kung Fu, and I fully recommend martial arts to anyone wanting to do something fun AND good for you. Sign up at your local martials arts school and start the adventure. I go to great schools, Ung's School of Martial Arts and Chan's Kung Fu School.
  
• I love scrapbooking, and I don't want to hear any crap about it. It's a great change of pace for me; a chance to be artistic without involving either a computer or shin pads and a chest protector.
  
• I refuse to wear dress socks. There is a limit to how much physical discomfort I am willing to accept during a work day.
  
• David Boreanaz is hot. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
  
• The original Star Wars trilogy holds a special place in my heart. Dogma holds a special place in my head.
  
• I'm a Democrat and proud of it. I'm Christian, too, which is WHY I'm a Democrat. Jesus wasn't about starting wars, screwing the poor for the sake of the rich, trashing the planet, or judging and oppressing whole groups of people (women, gays, minorities, fill in your own blank).
  
• I'm rude but not mean. There is a difference.
  
• I'm a museum junkie. Art, history, science, I love them all. A good mini-vacation (3-4 days) should involve at least one martial arts tournament, one museum, one night club.
  
• Diet Vanilla Pepsi kicks ass.
  
• I don't have a favorite song, just favorite groups. Rush, Green Day, Linkin Park, Eminem, Simon and Garfunkel, Alan Jackson, Billy Idol, Elvis, Megadeth. I'm eclectic, okay?
  
• The idiot box has some redeeming qualities. These qualities include: The Simpsons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, King of the Hill, Alias (especially season 1 and 2), Sex in the City, documentaries.
  
• I'm at peace with my phobias. I don't like wasps, heights, or spiders and I don't have to like them.
  
• I love to laugh, so give me a reason. I have dozens of comedy CDs, DVDs, and books.
  
• I hate steak. I even hate the smell of steak. No, I'm not a vegetarian. I think the best part of a cow is that cheap part that gets turned into pot roast. Mmmmm, pot roast.
  
• The Theory of Life according to Chelsea, when she was 4 years old. "I'm going to win because I'm the princess because I love God." I think the girl might be on to something.
  
• I have narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that causes erratic REM cycles and excessive sleepiness. Technically, I'm disabled, but I keep the symptoms under pretty good control through medication and try not to let it stop me. Sometimes it sucks to be me, but there are worse problems to have.

Miscellaneous photos. Proof to friends and family of the elusive Bigfoo....er, just kidding. Sort of. Bill does have enormous feet. *grin* Actually, just a highly random handful of photos from the last year or so. Click on a thumbnail to view.
