| Let's play a game... "Jefferson 101, 411 and 911"--- Here's a quiz to learn more about me. And it's the Teacher's Edition; 'cause I've given you the answers... |
|
WHO AM I? I'm Jefferson. I'm Part of the Problem. "What may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side." - Measure for Measure, act III, sc ii
HOW OLD AM I? Born... a.) 1968 b.) 1970 c.) 1972 d.) all of the above e.) Eternal f.) "not all here yet"
WHERE DO I LIVE?: Savannah, GA; under a bridge (Southbridge, specifically). I aspire to be a troll someday. Yes, that would be kewl. Trolls don't get the respect they deserve, but hey, they're out there all the time, keeping bridges clean for everyone. And abducting only a few people a year. In their defense, reruns of Full House kill more people a year than trolls. Seriously. Look it up.
I GREW UP... In Atlanta (an empty sprawling thing, mistaking its multitude of Peachtree Streets for a soul). Oh, yeah, I lived for a short time in New York when I was three, where I innately picked up this smart-ass attitude. (Side note: bridges there--not quite so clean. Bad trolls!)
EDUCATION: I have a BFA degree in art history, which over-qualifies me to look at pretty pictures.
FAVORITE TV SHOW: UPN's "America's Next Top Model." Or as I like to call it, "Wife Shopping." Shout out to Kahlen from season 4. I'm draggin' her back to my troll bridge....
AND FOLKS ALWAYS ASK IF I'M AN ACTOR: As a child I did commercials, print work & stage work and such in Atlanta--Emory University, Flat Rock Playhouse, my most recent adult appearance was in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil... Take a look at the footage below. (Existential query: What's worse... being in a bad film or not being in any film at all? Hmmm.)
SPEAKING OF GOOD OR EVIL: I've decided.... I'm just a little bit evil. It's a valid lifestyle choice. (And if you tell me it isn't your insolence shall displease me...)
FAVORITE SPORT: Women's gymnastics. Little girls in tights bending over backwards to please me.... Second favorite: Women's ice skating. Little girls in small skirts flashing me for scores of artistic merit. Hehe. (I'm not a dirty old man, but I do hope to be one one day.)
MY MOST USELESS TALENT: I can name every Roman Emperor through Trajanus Decius (251 c.e.). Now you try at home. It's not even good for free fries anyplace... I've checked.

For 141/2 years -- one-tenth of its existence--I lived at 115 West Gaston Street.... Whatever poor soul lives there now probably still gets my junk mail thru the slot. Hehe. Behold, my crap legacy. I always said that when I died I was going to come back and haunt the place. (Still might... I haven't decided.) I loved that place, but in Dec. '04 I moved to the suburbs. Now I have more room to scare children, heckle passing golfers and showcase my vast array of memorabilia. An incurable collector (I say incurable--if they found a cure and started giving me the pills instead of taking them I'd begin carefully collecting them too), I have dozens of original movie posters spanning 6 decades, 10 classic arcade games (Asteroids, Ms. Pacman, Tron, Galaga & Defender, just to name half... and yes, all work--my big project in '06 was bringing them all back up), Chuck Jones production drawings used in old Road Runner cartoons, a ten-foot movie screen for the enjoyment of la cinema, a full-sized Han Solo in Carbonite, a full-sized Alien and a "full-angry" Michael Myers mannequin (I think he walks around at night when I'm asleep, doing my unconscious bidding, so please don't piss me off).
Dangerous Roomates....
(right) "Three's Company," indeed. Yeah, we all live together. Two of the three to the right have issues....
(And Gollum just has bad hair. Hehe.) |

My father retired April 27 2007, after a career of 50 years of broadcasting in radio, local tv and 2 national networks... an Emmy-award winning (1984) CBS News correspondent from 1971-1991, from '91-'07 he served at NBC as anchor, correspondent, producer & general wise sage. He's been a wise sage to me even longer. :)
