I'm Jim, and I'm a knife hoarder who lives about 30 minutes away from Knob Creek (and about 40 from the Golden Manor motel).

I was in the Navy for too long to be happy, but not long enough to retire; most of the worst periods of my life occurred during that time, but they helped shape me into the emotionally isolated (some have gone so far as to say bitter), curmudgeonly, authority questioning man I am today. Eventually, a few years after my discharge from the Navy and being told, "Your job's not to think, it's to do what you're told", I enrolled at IU and graduated with a BS in Information Systems and a Business Admin minor. I now work as an programmer/analyst and my job IS to think (and to do what I'm told, but that's just the price of working for someone else).
