"My name is Domino Harvey. I am a bounty hunter."

Not that Domino Harvey would ever take the time to create a blog.

I don't kick ass, I don't take names. I'm not a model, nor a movie star. I'm not going to make an attempt to introduce myself. I don't need much of an introduction.

I come from a small family. Well, in numbers we're not that small. I have two aunts and about 4 or 5 uncles (I lost count years ago). I grew up with a brother and a sister, but they both left home before I even hit middle school, so it's been my parents and I since then.

My parents... In order to know my you have to know my parents. One word: hippies. I kid you not. Genuine, bonafide hippies. My dad had long hair, my mom had long hair. They met in a hippie commune. They hitchhiked across the country and back. They lived at Haight-Ashbury. They got busted for selling dope. My dad burned his draft card. They got married by a Unitarian minister wearing clothes that my mom made herself. There exists a picture of them, with another couple standing in front of - you guessed it - a VW Minibus painted with flowers.

My mom got a degree in microbiology. My dad dropped out of college and bummed around a bit before he managed to get a degree in physical anthropology. And then a masters and a Ph.D. and some other one. They adopted two kids, both of mixed race, and opened a bookstore. I was born a few weeks before it folded.

This is the family I come from. I'd like to tell you that I am my own person and that I am completely different. But I'm not. I'm totally progressive, dedicated to education, always looking for new ways to be creative, but constantly trying to strike that delicate balance between the left brain and the right brain. I played music all through middle and high school and then got my bachelor's in math.

Yes, math.

Yea, I know, you're probably not good at math. Or you think I'm crazy. Or you hate nerds. Don't get me started on how many people say that. I've actually considered telling people that I have an English degree, just so I don't have to explain myself.

I didn't do it to get a good job. I didn't do it because I'm a nerd. I did it because that's what I'm good at. I'm good at numbers. I'm not a nerd, I'm not a dork. I don't know anything about Star Trek - or Star Wars for that matter. You know what my favorite trilogy is? Back to the Future. Or Indiana Jones. That's the trilogy debate in my life. I love cheesy 80s movies.

I have no clue what I'm going to write about in this blog. Maybe work. Maybe movies. It is what it is, so stay tuned......
