I enjoyed a cookout with Steven and Joe Perry. A friend of mine in High
Interesting fact, the music to "Dream On" on was not written by Aerosmith. My theatre teacher's brother in law wrote the song and actually sold it to Joe Perry for $100 in the late 60's.

such an awesome song ---Man talk about selling short !! --ouch

I work on Steven Kings and Jonathan Demmes cars. Not Christine though! I ski with Jeff Coffin- AKA Wylie Coyote- from early Stump movies. I also ski a lot with Bruce Cole who was the Freestyle coach at Shawnee in the 70's and coached Greg and Jeff Stump, and Lili Morrison who was an olympic skier.

- I've lived in VT all my life, and don't ski.
- I sing in a barbershop quartet competitively-
- I knocked on the wrong room of a hotel looking for the housekeeping department when I was 16, Tommy Shaw opened the door, I woke him up and MAN his hair was a MESS!
- After getting a job as a chambermaid at that hotel, I carried Chuck Mangione's fluglehorn from his hotel room to his bus.
- I also cleaned Ronald Reagan's room. He left a tip and his autographed business card. I kept the tip and gave away the card to another maid. I was 16, what did I know?

I'm not too special...

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil and I suck at soccer.

Helped Tom Brokaw at the store one day - he looked/sounded familiar and then I noticed he was wearing a "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw" hat :D

Rung up Cindy Lauper a few years ago at the store... sad thing was that only me and one other guy who worked there even had a clue of who she was.

While walking in Manhattan wearing my The Who's Tommy t-shirt, Pete Townshend comes up to me, tells me he's Pete Townshend and that he wrote that and asked how I liked it. He then invited me to his apartment for some candy :D lol, the candy part isn't true... that happened before the "incident"

I always wondered how they came out with one song that didn't suck. It all makes sense now...





Yeah... I have nothing interesting to add. I do have toenail fungus on both my big toes though. Maybe I should try to compete with Andy and put it as my avatar. I'm also sporting like the sweetest farmers tan ever right now.

I just started a new job, and primarily work from home, now.


I once met former Canadian Prime Minister Mulrooney.

No more AT&T?

What's the new gig?

I spend about 30% of my time working from home, the other 70% in my car. It's been a pretty big adjustment. Took me a good six months to no longer miss the comraderie I had at the office and get used to pretty much being out on an island working by myself.

Actually, its still within the ATT Axis of Evil. I moved over to the wireless side (Formerly Cingular, the singular worst coverage around) Same type of job, I'm a Systems Engineer. It did come with a raise, and promotion, and I get to play with all kinds of kewl toys. I will also be on the road a bit, but more like a 60% at home, 20% ina new orifice and about 20% covering CT, MA, RI and upstate NY. I liked most of my office-mates, but being the anti-social jerk that I am, I'm relishing the Virtual Office.

Nice, did ATT let you have your soul back?

Souls are eternal, once they are gone, they're gone. Unless I can get my Titties and Beer...

No encounters with the rich and famous, other than walking to get on a water raft ride at an amusement park as Alanis Morissette walked off, about 20 feet away, soaking wet (she had a concert there later that day.) Best part about it was that one of the cooks at the restaurant I was working at at the time, for whatever twisted, demented, disturbed reason, had a thing for her, so I was able to play up the encounter. Now isn't that ironic? (sorry)

In other, non-celebrity, and I'd argue more interesting things:
I am (or was in high school, at least) a percussionist. At one point in high school I tried out for All County on snare, tympani, marimba, jazz drum set, and jazz vibraphone. Don't think I made it in on any that time, but did make all county on snare (I think) and jazz vibes, and area all state on tympani (I think, might be switched with snare,) once each. I'm still bitter about being screwed out of getting into all county on marimba, but don't get me started on that.

I apparently have some sort of ancestry that's linked to the House of Tudors.

Due to being born to parents who like to travel a lot, I've been to 43 states and 3 provinces.

I work on something that 1.8 billion passengers have flown on, probably around 50% of those being within the last 5 years, and the rate is increasing. If you've flown jetBlue, chances are you've taken it for a ride. It's a bit of an ego trip when I think about it. (I've told some of you where I work, others can probably guess, but I try to separate myself from the company in the public domain.)

Just remembered that I'm a descendant of Joseph Smith. Funny thing is I lived in Utah and even had a momo g.f. for awhile. That was before I knew we were fairly directly linked.

Are you an independent contractor?

I think I mentioned it before, but before moving north I was a club DJ in the Boston area spinning breaks and electro. One of the few things I actually miss about living in the Boston area is the night life. Before becoming a DJ, I was a regular clubber going out at least once, often twice, a week. Used to dance my pants off and was sometimes the first dude on the floor getting things going. Good times.
