about me

• I was born on Groundhogs Day (that’s February 2nd to you) under a full moon.  A Psychic once commented that being born under a full moon gives you special powers. But not special powers like Superman or Spiderman, I’m still on a quest to discover all of my special powers.

• I don’t use caps on my posts, sorry if that bugs you but this isn’t about you b/c it’s about me.

• I tend to believe in things that cannot be proven or explained (ex:  ufo’s, ghosts, unicorns, gnomes).

• I call this blog a BLOB b/c that’s what Augusten Burroughs calls his and I think he’s pretty cool and the word blog bugs me.  I’m a huge fan of Augusten.

• This isn’t a blog you can categorize into any one topic or subject, it’s main purpose is to entertain YOU, me, your dogs, cats and that weird uncle you try to avoid at family gatherings.

• I really, really, really promise not to stab you.

• I’m married and I have two children, one that grew in my body (boy) and one that grew in my heart (girl).  Typically I refer to my son as “the boy”, and my daughter as “the girl”, not b/c i hate them but to try and keep some semblance of privacy.

• My family told me they found me in a trashcan and that I would grow up to live in a tin can house in the woods. They couldn’t help it, they were wolves.  I was raised by wolves.  You probably were too.

• My Dad died February 1st, 2006 and I had no idea how much I would miss him, or how unsafe the world would become without him here.  Lucky for me, I have another Dad .  The one who biologically made me.  He’s pretty cool once you get to know him.

• Piglet was a childhood nickname given to me by my Dad (the one that died).  The nickname came from me being a 10 pound baby and incredibly CUTE.

• I bought my own domain about a year ago, but I haven’t officially set it up b/c I’m busy doing facebook and responding to ashton kutcher’s tweets on twitter (he never responds).

• Life’s been good to me so far, I’m just looking for clues at the scene of the crime.  Lucky I’m sane after all I’ve been through.  I can’t complain but sometimes I still do.  Joe Walsh wrote that.

• I’ve been sober in a fellowship for 18 years, I started drinking when I was two.  Not really, I was at least eleven.

• A psyche Doctor told me about two years ago that I had tourettes based on some very strange behaviors as a child.   Not the cool cussing tourettes, but the spitting/grunting/repeating words kind.  He said it tends to turn into OCD as you get older, which it did.   When I do and say stupid things, I think I should be able to blame it on tourettes.
