I am a Channel Sales Manager at Webtrends. I am 30, happily married + living in Portland, Oregon. I don't have many reasons for keeping this blog. I tend to talk about emerging web culture + how ridiculous the media is but the majority of this site consists of stuff that makes me smile. find archives here

I am dedicated to shedding the fear of all the things included in the system of control. Know that I will always post, so please come back or subscribe to my rss feed. Feel free to leave a comment + not be an asshole. Relax, none of this means a thing.
If you want to contact me, leave a comment + I may or may not get back to you. It is what it is. Oh yeah, I am not a copywriter so please excuse mispellsings.
