I live in Easthampton, I work two jobs. I laugh too loud, smoke too often, and drink too much, and I enjoy every damned second of it.

I'm a laid back person. I take few things seriously. I have no real regard for politics or the correctness they engender. I have my views, as I imagine you have yours, but I find it hard to imagine coming into conflict about them.

Working too much, sleeping too little. I work for an alternative energy company by day and at a bar by night.

Bad jokes, information regarding firearms, and puns. Good God, the puns. And hurting myself. You will always see me with a bandaid, or covered in superglue, or limping. I'm as clumsy as the day is long and have a job where they give me power tools. Why my employers think I can be trusted with power tools is beyond me, but there you go.

My bald head, my eyes, and my inappropriately formal clothing. And whatever bandages or redneck first-aid items I happen to be sporting.

For books, Sci-Fi and fantasy. I have loved the Wheel of Time and Song of Ice and Fire series for a long, long time, as well as a lot of serials. I will never apologize for my love of easy serial fiction. One of my current addictions is Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.

For movies, Star Wars IV-VI, Indiana Jones, and then mindless explosion-fests such as Bad Boys (I and II), The Rock, Crank, Airforce One, and Starship Troopers.

My taste in music goes all over. Yes, that does sound pretentious. No, I am not pretentious about it. I could not name all the members of my favorite band. But for simplicity sake I will list some of those bands which I enjoy: Iron Maiden, Molly Hatchet, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Offspring, The Outlaws, Modest Mouse, Motorhead, The Strokes, the Marshall Tucker Band, Eazy E, Flogging Molly, Great Big Sea.

The outdoors, my jeep, bourbon , hockey, books, coffee. Also my Spider Plant is pretty important, if only because I go months without watering it and it still keeps going. It's almost as good as a pet.

How to most effectively cram as much enjoyment into my limited free time as I can.

Various aspects of design, especially game design. Especially when trying to figure out the justification of awful game design.

Usually at one of the bars in the area, unwinding from the week. I'm always looking for something fun to do on the weekends and almost never want to stay in or take it easy.

I think in a Spanish accent.

I love the Wu Tang Clan like only a white person can.

If you think you can keep up for a night on the town.

If you want to hit the range and fire off some rounds from my fancy handguns.

If you ever see me around, feel free to say hi and have a shot with me.
