| WELCOME TO MY WORLD |
| Welcome to my website and to an extent, my world. This site has been a godsend and a blessing; now if only I can keep up with it! I am a 38 year old masculine male, newly transplanted to the NJ/NYC area in September of 2008. It has been a spectacular year, as I have met some very cool people, explored NYC, evolving with my photography and eBay business, and generally just living life to the fullest! Some of my interests include (but by no means are limited to) DC Comics, daytrips into the city, reading, writing, astronomy, music, films, British humour and a slew of other interests and hobbies. |
| WISE (AND NOT SO WISE) QUOTES *Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity* If you have a list of screen-names in your profile of dudes that didn't return their pic to yours -- face it, you're ugly. STOP LOOKING for "Mr. Right" and BECOME "Mr. Right" "There's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people." Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but ya can't help but smile when ya see one tumble down the stairs... "People are like stained-glass windows, They sparkle and shine when the sun is out , but when the darkness sets in , their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within !" IF U WANT TO PLAY WITH THE BIG DOGS... DON'T PEE LIKE A PUPPY "Sex is cheap, but, clearly, you shop wholesale." Don't let your weaknesses weaken your strengths but use your strengths to strengthen your weaknesses. It's ok for you to get lost in thought, it's probably unfamiliar territory. Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but we wish we didn't |

| NEW UPDATES 12-04-09 What's new? Monday 12/7 will be my one year anniversary working at the Newark Star-Ledger, and am so grateful that not only do I have a job in this economy, but the folks I work with really really like me! I have had a wonderful autumn and winter - had the privilege of seeing the NY Yankees play at the new stadium from the 7th row behind the catcher, have seen the NY Knicks and NJ Nets battle it out, saw Phantom of the Opera this past Wednesday night and saw Kylie Minogue in concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom on her first North American tour. So far so good, NYC is definitely agreeing with me - now only to happen across someone with a good heart, a sense of humor and down to earth to spend time with! |

| AN UGLY AMERICAN The only seat available on the train was directly adjacent to a wel ldressed middle aged French woman and the seat was being used by her dog. The weary traveler asked, "Ma'am, please move your dog. I need that seat." The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffed and said, "You Americans. Your are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?" The American walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired." The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant....Imagine!" The American didn't say anything else, he leaned over, picked up the dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her honor and chastise the American. An English man sitting across the aisle spoke up indignantly "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, Sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window." ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* FRANK Frank was excited about his new rifle and decided to try Bear hunting. He traveled up to Alaska, spotted a small Brown Bear and shot it. Soon after there was a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big Black Bear. The black bear said, "That was a very bad mistake. That was my cousin. I'm going to give you two choices. Either I Maul you to death or we have Sex." After considering briefly, Frank decided to accept the latter alternative. So the black bear had his way with Frank. Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon recovered and vowed Revenge. He headed out on another trip to Alaska where he found the Black Bear and shot it dead. Right after, there was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge Grizzly Bear stood right next to him. The Grizzly said, "That was a big mistake, Frank. That was my cousin and you've got two choices: Either I Maul you to death or we have Rough Sex." Again, Frank thought it was better to cooperate with the Grizzly Bear than be mauled to death. So the Grizzly had his way with Frank. Although he survived, it took several months before Frank fully recovered. Now Frank was completely outraged, so he headed back to Alaska and managed to track down the Grizzly Bear and shot it. He felt sweet revenge, but then, moments later, there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find a giant Polar Bear standing there. The Polar Bear looked at him and said, "Admit it Frank, you don't come here for the hunting, do you?" |
