| Introduction | I'm just a poor white boy from Baytown, Texas (the armpit of America according to Paul Auster). Some would call me a Baytown whore even though I've lived nearly twenty years in Wilmington, NC. I've spent all that time serving the public (literally) as a bartender, and think that I've finally got the knack of it, just in time to no longer give a shit. I have a tendency to watch a lot of really bad movies, mostly due to Netflix (although, if I had cable it would serve the same need), but I really prefer good ones. I like bizarre things, but rarely like something that is weird for weirdness' sake. I really LOVE rambling on about myself, but I'm going to stop. |
