new hobby...
i dove in (pun intended) to the world of saltwater reefing. here's the nascent shots of my tank. i'm watching the live rock grow and soon i'll have some little critters swimming joyfully in there. it's a good adventure and learning process to see life burgeoning on my wife's dresser drawer.

the many faces of me...
i'm not sure if it's the mentally-corrosive smog in the air or my sudden weight loss (you know which one I'M voting for), but i've been approached lately by a few folks who seem to have a good idea that i resemble someone they've seen on the telly...
who are these dashing celebrities so privileged to be associated to my likeness, you might ask?
1997--accosted on the street by an eager fan believing i was THIS actor from days of our lives
1999--again, accosted. this time by a young blond woman wearing a white tanktop which once might have fit a goldfish but at this point was straining to make it past her bulbous belly...she believed with such certainty that i was the man below that i was forced to give her an autograph...i signed it "M&M: The chocolate flavor"
2007--the accosting thing is getting old. this time it was by a Hispanic gentleman at a local wine bar. after repeatedly asking me whether or not I was Mexican (hey, Dad, dosen't that make you proud?), he continued on to tell me I was very handsome and he confused me for a Mexican soap star. I say all this of course to build up my own ego----but more importantly it serves as background for the next time I visited the bar...he told me the fellow's name was Ari Telch....so, what do I do when I get home? Well, I showered, ate a small snack, talked to Booyeon AND THEN i hopped onto google.....a couple of keystrokes, one click and WHAM! my self-image sank faster than the Titanic with a fat guy strapped to its bow...
2007---AGAIN--and the latest was this guy. apparently i star in commercials on the side bragging about my relationship with J-Love.....i'm not sure I'm even that good of an actor....
Check out the 'celebrity' commercial: http://myfaves.com/tv-commercials.html
if you haven't figured it out by now, this post has been nothing but a poorly written diatribe aimed at blatant self-promotion....but then again, would you expect anything more?
who do you think i look like? let the deprecation commence...
