Who am I? I'm not really sure anyone knows. I'm an Irish vagabond wandering through life and living vicariously through others. I just can't seem to get it right. That doesn't keep me from trying, though. I'm the most uncommon Irishman you're ever likely to meet. I don't really drink and I don't really fight, but I'm not afraid to do either. Buy me a drink or fuck with what I care about and you'll see what I mean. I like people, but I don't like people. If I have to explain it, you'll never understand. I don't like confrontation. I'm stronger and faster than I look. I may be smiling on the outside, but that doesn't mean I'm in a good mood. I can't seem to get the whole relationship thing right, but I can't stop trying. I always hoped a beautiful woman would see something in me, but I can never believe there's anything there for them to see. Failure feels like a kick in the stomach. Success is indescribable. My father is the greatest hero I could ever imagine. I miss you Dad. I'm equally comfortable talking about classical music or hot rods. I'm the son of a welder and a librarian. I'm cultured and crude. I was raised in poverty but I was taught that money isn't everything. I'm not perfect. I try my damndest to live up to every promise I make. Sometimes I can't and it hurts more than I can describe. I love children, but don't want any of my own. I'm an artist, but I don't consider myself creative. I work around Harleys but I'll probably never own one. I'm honest to a fault. I'm blunt, sarcastic and cynical. I have no tolerance for fake people. I don't have ulterior motives. If I say something to you, err on the side of caution and take me literally. Body language is lost on me. I'm as subtle as a brick to the forehead. If you want to know anything else, ask.

- Wit & sarcasm: just two of the services I offer.

- I'm surrounded by crazy people.
- I think and talk like a computer quite often.

- Steven Perry comes in a VERY close second.
- One of my favorite artists of all time is Beethoven.

- I have severe ADD. At times, I can jump back and forth between 15 different thought processes in a single second. I rarely finish thoughts.
- I'm amazing at dealing with technology. Give me anything technical and I'll probably be able to list off every statistic about it within a couple of hours.
- I'm terrible at dealing with people. Put me in a room full of people I don't know and I'll find a spot to disappear.
- I'm a creature of habit. When my routines get disrupted, my day is in a shambles.
- I'm not superstitious but I believe in ghosts. I think there must be a scientific explanation for them.
- I don't consider myself an artist.
- I DO consider myself a professional photographer.

- I'm an unbelievable technogeek.

- I was an honors student without studying because I have a near-photographic memory.

- Besides laptops, I haven't bought a computer since 1994. I build them all.

- I smoked for 14 years.
- I quit on July 10th, 1997 at 2pm.
- I can't stand the taste of Jagermeister cold, but it's pretty tasty warm.
- I rarely have more than a couple of drinks in a night.
- When I have more than a couple, it's WAY more than a couple. The results are never pretty.
- I'm a loner by nature.
- I don't believe there is "someone for everyone." I believe people make choices about who they spend their lives with. Believing in fate is chickening out on taking responsibility for ourselves.

- The first album I ever listened to (on vinyl, no less...) was 'Night Moves' by Bob Seger.
- I believe the American movie and music industries have lost their ability to come up with anything original. Everything is either a sequel or a copy of the current trend. Original artists still exist, but no major label ever signs them.
