Hey there, stranger.

i have never watched house.... but i think he is that misanthrope doctor? yeah, that would have been me... a doctor that is supposed to help people but actually hates people, i guess.

Josefbugman:
Oh do watch it, just for the joy of watching Hugh Laurie messing about with an American accent.

Siibillam-Law:
Which is completely different Hugh Laurie than anyone ever knew...

Gilead:
Fuck you Darryl you're going to have to work to unravel the rich tapestry that is me.

tragic_pizza:
Hi Darryl. I am John.

I am, as has been mentioned, one of the old farts hereabouts. I am 47, average height, and average weight for someone about seven-foot three. I live in Birmingham, Alabama, where I have lived all my life. I have travelled extensively in north and central Alabama, and much less so anywhwere else. My only foray outside the States has been to the border town of Reynosa, Mexico.

I was a graphic designer/writer/development expert for nonprofits until 2007, and was a Youth Director for about ten years or so. Since then I have tried to sell life insurance and failed, and currently work nights at (not in) a coal mine. I also have a part-time job at the place i used to sell insurance for, calling to make appointments, and a third not-quite-job as a Commissioned Lay Pastor for a small Presbyterian church. I am not, in other words, the example one might want to follow to become a success in life.

I internet at the night job, in between filling orders for things I have never heard of or seen and trying to construct sermons that are, if not brilliant, at least not stultifying. I think I sometimes succeed.

I read when I can, and voraciously; lately books on Reformed Theology for obvious reasons, though I am a fan of Thomas Wolfe, James Lee Burke, and pretty much any author who is decent. Oddly enough, though I've read two of his novels, I am not at all fond of Hemingway. I cannot explain this obvious flaw in my character.

Were I to ever again enjoy free time, I might take up the guitar again. I am not good at it, but I enjoy it. I used to paint as well. I used to post in Discuss! a lot, but found it utterly pointless for the most part, and now spend nearly all of my time in Hurr, with occasional forays into the comic threads to point and laugh.

I used to work in television and radio. I was once a circus clown. I resemble an old and fat Jamie Hyneman.
