I'm afraid that the plethora of useless knowledge in my head has infringed on the knowledge that might end up being useful at some point. I mean, is it really worth knowing that Barbara Hale played Della Street in the Perry Mason TV movies?

I firmly believe that I have learned a lot in life from watching TV and I don't believe people when they say that it rots your brain.

I love living in Queens and even though I still love the Yankees, living 5 minutes from Shea Stadium has really done a lot for my Mets fandom. On a related note, I wish James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks, would die. Or just sell the team.

I have a blog: http://chuckjerry.blogspot.com , but I don't update it as much as I used to. Still, there are some interesting tidbits in there if you look around for a while. Some of it, though, is like reading the newspaper from two years ago, just plain irrelevant at this point.

I long for the days when rap music was still trying to prove itself. The artists used to try much harder back then. I also think they used to have something to say other than "Booty, booty, booty, booty bouncing everywhere".

One of the highlights of my life recently was setting up a home network and being able to print documents from my laptop onto the printer attached to the desktop.

I am a nerd. But I hide it well.

My goal is to validate my existence by having as many friends listed as possible. I know I can do better than the paltry sum I've currently amassed.

Anyone who is so inclined is invited to be my friend, especially if we've met before. I want to be a friendster hoe.
