I am a swinging DRAGON of 31. i am an IT Tech Guy for the largest school in my school district. I am a father, a musician, a poet, a thinker actively searching for ENLIGHTENMENT, and personal growth. I am an observer of people, an admirer of women, a lover of all things - be they beautiful or hideously ugly. Though i am also a hooker with a heart of gold, a heartless player destined to stick-and-move forever. formally an Athlete, a teacher, a Soldier, and Causer of Trouble.

Practice does not make perfect. That’s one of a dozen lies we parents force on our kids. Along with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, the lies we tell our children shape who they become. Remember the first know-it-all kid that logic’d out that Santa couldn’t possibly exist? He was a dick, wasn’t he? Decades […]
The NFL doesn’t respect it’s fans. Looking at the NFL with an objective eye, there is no other conclusion one can come to. Don’t ignore the outrageous costs to the non-fan.
