Rocky Time Warp

My name is Phil and I’m a big gay procrastinating quarter-century year old graduate student nerd. I’ve never once taken a computer course, and I’m not planning on doing so anytime soon. I started blogging over three years ago, and I’ve been on the slippery slope of devoted geekdom ever since. Case in point, I run this website and three others.

I started this website in November of 2005, and its incarnation went thusly: from Yahoo!360 (where it was first called “Phil’s Blog” and subsequently “All Things Phil”) to an independent domain called “All Things Phil” for no reason other than I couldn’t think up anything more clever at the time. As we speak, I’m working on my Master’s degree in speech pathology, and I moonlight on the side as an interpreter.

I’m originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico and, unlike every single person I grew up with, I really love it there. I’ve outsourced myself to Los Angeles for the time being, however, because that’s where the graduate school path took me. I like it here, primarily for the incredible heat waves, the gloriously devastating wildfires, and the earthquakes. You know, living life on the edge.

That song Get the Party Started by Pink makes me smile, and it really is one of the few things about modern gay culture, besides musicals and fashion, that isn’t completely lost on me. I’m otherwise a huge fan of a variety of music. But I’m a born and bred rocker, so as long as I can find a solid beat and rhythm and head bang with the long head of hair that I don’t have, chances are I’ll like it.

Coffee shops are a great source of comfort for me, which is interesting because unless it’s either mocha or full of sugar and whipped cream, I really don’t like coffee. It smells far better than it tastes, to me, to the point that when I was sixteen I declared that the moment I had a place of my own in which to live, I was going to use coffee beans as an air freshener. Thankfully, I never actually made good on that promise. Yet.

I share my life with an incredible man named Robert. He still lives in Albuquerque, which basically means that whenever I’m home, I threaten to drag him on the plane back to Los Angeles so I can keep him with me until I graduate. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean that it won’t at all.

The views expressed here don’t necessarily reflect the views of my employer. Okay, they don’t at all. In fact, this site has nothing whatsoever to do with my careers, except for me to occasionally use it as a way to procrastinate from that which I should be doing.
