: About Me

I am a 21st century gothic poet...I have a wealth of useless information stored in my mind and am not afraid to share it.I'm 43 years old, married and run a restaurant.
My interests include politics,music,poetry,history and sports.While I will freely discuss my opinions with anyone, I refrain from personal attacks when reviewing others work. I may disagree, but I won't be rude about it.:)
If anyone finds my musings in the least bit interesting I will be extremely surprised!
