About me: I'm an avid artist, photographer, and pursuer of all things tech-gadgety. I have a passion for technology, computers, and video games (yes, I'm still a kid at heart). I enjoy watching movies, tuning into the discovery/science channels, and having a friendly debate about current events or philosophical possibilities. I have a love for music of most any kind, though I'm not a huge fan of rap or old-style country. I enjoy relaxing in the pool during the summer heat. I enjoy a variety of cuisine, but my favorite is steak and lobster. I'm a sci-fi/fantasy nut - dragons, angels, and astronomy captivate my imagination. I love to laugh.
I've been trying to write more lately so I've started up a blog. In addition to using it as a place to share my outlook with the world, I also will be releasing my new artwork/photography there as well.
Myspace is gay and won't let me link to my blog so do the copy/paste routine: naughtydawg.blogspot.com
Some may wonder where the nickname "NaughtyDawg" comes from. It's rather boring, but here goes... For the longest time my nickname was "BigDog" (I am 6'4" after all). Back in the mid 90's I wanted to get a domain for a personal website but bigdog.com was already taken (a clothing manufacturer). I also wanted an identity that wasn't already taken everywhere online (you'd be surprised how many BigDogs there are out there). NaughtyDog.com was also taken (a popular video game developer) so I chose to alter it a bit because the "naughty" definitely fit with my personality. The rest is history.
Who I'd like to meet: Celebrities:
- Jessica Alba, Peter Jackson, Kevin Smith, Dave Matthews Band, Tim Allen, several hosts/cast from G4 (Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb, Olivia Munn, and Kevin Pereira to name a few)

Yeah. I gotta say that handsome men run in their family. Ha. A couple of my girlfriends have threatened to seduce him if they find out he is visiting. (I so am not going to tell him though as that would be just to odd. ) :-)
Hey, handsome. I love the picture. It's good to hear from you. I'm busy, as always. Two teenage daughters in the house...that should say it all! Miss talking with you!
