Here’s my pic:

Here’s the facts:<\/p>\n

1. I once served Carole Pope<\/a> oysters at a party.<\/p>\n

2. I was “witness” to a knife fight between two quarreling lovers in a flat somewhere in south London. Blood, but nobody died.<\/p>\n

3. I have very little passion for anything. I’m pretty plain. I generally keep my opinions to myself.<\/p>\n

4. Oh I do have a passion for Science Fiction. Mostly pulp stuff, not much into the new wave of Sci Fi writers and stories, but I can get into the odd new story from William Gibson.<\/p>\n

5. I’m a coward. I’d rather run than fight. I’ve never thought fighting was intelligent anyway.<\/p>\n

6. I touched a boobie once (not a Galapagos bird). That’s as far as I got with a woman. Though, I did love one once. Like… romantic love.<\/p>\n

7. I’ve travelled to London, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and various places in the US. I’ve taken 4 cruises on large ships. I’d still like to travel like a hosteller, with a pack and one pair of jeans, but in my old age, I’m becoming dependent on a nice private bed and private hot shower.<\/p>\n

8. I’m a Disneyphile. I don’t care what you think about that. I find that people who judge unfavorably about anyone over 30 going to Disney usually haven’t been themselves. That or they just don’t “get” Disney.<\/p>\n

9. I have over 200 robots in my TV room.<\/p>\n

10. I have a special relationship with art. I tried to get into the Ontario College of Art when I was 20 but was refused because the teachers on the judging board thought I was too plain. Too white. Too middle class. This made me travel (see #7).<\/p>\n

11. I was trained as a Classical Animator and when I discovered that drawing the same things 1000 times as a career actually sucked, I took on Graphic Design. Then web design.<\/p>\n

12. I may change careers when I hit 50 or sooner. Graphic and Web Design has lost it’s importance to me with age. I fantasize about changing careers because my father did when he was 57.<\/p>\n

13. I enjoy photography. I would love to photograph erotic art but all I can muster the courage for is a really sharp focus image.<\/p>\n

14. With all this art in my life, I harbour a secret from my bosses: I am red\/green colour blind. I use HEX colour numbers and identifiable PANTONE codes to get colours when clients ask.<\/p>\n

15. I still have nightmares about my father’s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
