Who is GoingInCirclez? You sure you wanna know?

I'm just a man: A son, brother, husband, in-law, father, coworker, friend... and one of Tyler Durden's "30-year-old boys".

I've been called a: trooper, survivor, cranky bastard, funny goofball, genius, idiot, asshole, angel, master of all, jack of nothing, and any and all and none of the above.

I'm a tinkerer, artist, historian, author, mechanic, technician, driver, leader, follower, the outspoken quiet one in the back who does whatever the job requires, but none of it by trade.

Really I'm just bored at the moment and trying to flesh this page out so I can cross it off the list and make the site active. Wait, did I just type that out loud?

OK enough already. My name is Tony Lucio, I'm a 30-something lost soul who grew up loving the southwest side of Chicago but then moved to Kentucky at 22 to try a different poke at things - and has been stuck here ever since. "Here" being The Paradox State, as I call it, as it applies to mind and geography. I studied Mechanical Engineering in a prestigious university until I realized I hated Calculus (or was it the ADHD?) and decided my IT skills would pay the bills. I became a dad in 2004 to a wonderful little girl (and another who followed in 2007) and am still amazed and overwhelmed by that racket. I've been building models off-and-on since I was 6, turning it into a primary hobby around 2003 or so. I have no pretenses and don't stand for them; I despise hypocrites and faux-up, but I'm equally at home in a backwoods junkyard as in any palatial estate.

For now this site is an outlet for me to share my works and my opinions and psychobabble on my terms. Being simultaneously new to and lazy at this, I'm not sure where it will go from here. For starters let's say it's simply to aggregate many things I've contributed to various online communities into one relevant archival source. But I'll get my other photos, and personal contacts and professional works and other crap here too. Eventually. Maybe. Is this thing on?

So thanks for stopping in and reading. May as well take a look around and drop me a line if you see fit. Or not. I'll still be going in circle...z either way...
