Most of the time I'm quiet, but I love to talk once I have something to add. I will form and defend an opinion, even if it is not my own, solely for the purpose of exploring alternatives. I'm creative but it's been a while since I created anything I consider valuable. I'm sorting through the last 30 years of my life and the pile just gets bigger every day.

I work as an Event Technology Specialist for a conference center and banquet hall. That's a fancy title for a less fancy job.

I have a lot of seemingly random interests and plenty of ongoing projects to keep me busy, though most of my time seems to disappear consuming media.

I like to get out and do stuff when I'm free (swimming, hiking, expos, cons, etc..) but I'm terrible at planning and often don't.

Starting new projects! Finishing them... not so much.

I have spent the last 20 years or so working on computers so that probably tops my list in expertise.

I'm also fairly good at growing plants. The green thumb runs in the family.

I'd probably say my face, usually wrapped in "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Bon Jovi?" I used to get Mick Jagger a lot too. So, yeah, I could probably roll with Ke$ha, if I wanted to.

Shows: "Allons-y Allonso!", "There's always money in the banana stand.", "Engage!", "Shivakamini Somakandarkram!", "Happy happy happy.", "I'm a consulting detective.", " Two by two. Hands of blue.", "You know spies... bunch of bitchy little girls.", "Winter is coming."

Music: Led Zeppelin - The Rolling Stones, The Prodigy - Deadmou5, Enya - Clint Mansell. Pandora shuffle for the most part.

Food: Spicy, like dripping sweat spicy. Also, just about anything stuffed with cheese. My thoughts on "habanero poppers" would surely give Pavlov something to study.

"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most" -- Mark Twain

... simple solutions to complex problems, complex solutions to simple problems and inevitable problems with any solution.

... the Kobayashi Maru

I've messed with Texas and I'd do it again.

... you want to have either a meaningful or meaningless conversation -- I do both equally well.
