Introduction

    Me, in Las Vegas, NV, between Hooters and the MGM Grand, next pic: Winston and Hanz (both 2007)

Hello!

My name is Jason. I live in a room with two computers, a TV, a ferret, and a couch that turns into a bed. My ferret's name is Emily. I also have two dogs; Winston, an English mastiff, and Hanz, a dachshund. My girlfriend, Andrea, is from Guatemala and here for five years on an International Student Visa. She attends Pima Community College like I used to before I had no choice but to transfer to the U of A (if Pima offered four year degrees I would have stayed). We live with my parents, my brother, and my new nephew...

      Update: Andrea and I also rent an apartment.
      I'm counting and, yeah, there's like six Pikachu dolls I can see from where I'm sitting. We love Pokémon!

Pusch Ridge Christian Academy - High School Diploma (2001)

Awarded: High School Diploma Date: May 2001

9500 North Oracle Road
Tucson, AZ 85704

I think the principal here got his marching orders straight from the George W. Bush wing of the Republican Party. Not a nice place for a middle of the road Democrat like me, who believes everyone is entitled to their American dream (even illegal aliens).

Tucson Bartending Academy - Trade Degree (2002)

Awarded: Certificate of Completion Date: Jan 18, 2002

2723 N. Campbell Ave.
Tucson, AZ 85719

I am a non-drinker, and can't stand the taste of beer or alcohol, but I saw the commercial for bartending college on TV and enrolled. It was a pretty classy operation.

The Arizona Daily Star - Best of the Blogs

31 Monday morning appearances between 14 March 2005 - 31 October 2005

I was as shocked as anyone when the then editor of the Arizona Daily Star gave me a weekly forum to propagandize anything I wanted, of course the editor that followed him quickly eliminated the feature (I think I had stopped contributing at that point anyway).
