Here I am. Me with my goofy eyebrow raise holding a ridiculously adorable little kitten who has since become a lioness. Her name is Blair. My name is Daniel; the one without whiskers.

I was born in Australia and lived there until I was 5 years of age. While I’ve been stripped of my accent over time, I still occasionally use words like “mate” and “g’day” to stay in touch with my roots. I’ll have been married for 3 years this June to an exotic and exuberant women who smacks me when I’m an ass and comforts me when I’m sick. She’s just what I need.

I love music, traveling, technology (Apple especially), and absolutely love family. I’m always trying to learn, and I strive to look at life as a whole. To see the good times and bad as a journey and grasp that nothing matters but everything does.

I hope what I write for you is entertaining, thought provoking, and strikes a chord in you. If not, well then read someone else’s column; I’ll always have Blair to comfort me if you hurt my feelings.
