    It's pronounced JAY-nat not GEE-nat.

    I like gnats. They confound camels.

    It does not cost anything to be myself

  • Why Georgia
    Why Georgia

    I was put on the spot to pick a name and I chose from one of my favorite songs. I love John Mayer....I know lots of teeny bopper girls love him...but I love his music amongst a ton of others. It just fits me.

    "Why Georgia"

    I am driving up 85 in the
    Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
    just stuck inside the gloom
    4 more exits to my apartment but
    I am tempted to keep the car in drive
    And leave it all behind

    Cause I wonder sometimes
    About the outcome
    Of a still verdictless life

    Am I living it right?
    Am I living it right?
    Am I living it right?
    Why Georgia, why?

    I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
    Wood in places to make it feel like home
    But all I feel's alone
    It might be a quarter life crisis
    Or just the stirring in my soul

    Either way I wonder sometimes
    About the outcome
    Of a still verdictless life

    Am I living it right?
    Am I living it right?
    Am I living it right?
    Why Georgia, why?

    So what, so I've got a smile on
    But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
    Don't believe me
    When I say I've got it down

    Everybody is just a stranger but
    That's the danger in going my own way
    I guess it's the price I have to pay
    Still "everything happens for a reason"
    Is no reason not to ask myself

    If I am living it right
    Am I living it right?
    Am I living it right?
    Why Georgia, why?

    The picture says it all. George Foster was a baseball player with the Reds in the 70s. He was my fav as a child - known for his black bat and pork chop sideburns. I don't even like baseball anymore, but I had a strange obsession with George Foster.

    Hey Greendawn, Nicolas is one of my favorite names. If I ever had another son, that's what I would have named him.

    I chose HappyDad because at the time I decided to fade from the borg........my daughter was doing the same and I didn't know it. Once we found out about each other, it made me the happiest dad ever.
