I am employed at least through the end of the year. That's what my boss told me. I feel a gigantic weight lifted off my shoulders. We can have Christmas this year... I'll deal with everything else later.

I'm not an actor, not a performer at all really. I'm a talk show host.

Specifically, I host a sports talk show somewhere in mid-America. The company that I work for doesn't own the station that I broadcast from, and there's some talk about our programming going away at some point in the future. It looks like it just won't happen until after the first of the year.

I'm married. Five years this past August. Three kids. Two from my wife's first marriage. A sixteen year old daughter (as of Saturday), an eleven year old son, and a two year old boy.

The two older kids are bi-racial, which makes for a lot of funny looks when we go out in public. I've learned to ignore it, although when I talk about my son's Kobe Bryant hair on the radio show, I'm sure I'm confusing the hell out of people.

I'm not really sure why I've decided to start writing again. I used to have a journal on Open Diary, but ended it about nine months ago. It became more of a chore than a pleasure, I guess. Hopefully this will be different.

Eventually I'd like to write some fiction, but I need practice. I need to learn to write dialogue, write more descriptively, and write something people find interesting. If I can make it here, I'll make it anywhere, I guess.

Welcome to my world.... hope you brought some cookies.
