I am here for Friends

About Me

Did you ever see that movie "money pit"? Well that's what my life's like right now... except I'm enjoying it. The big question on my mind is 'What's going to break next?'... Chances are the heater or the sewer line.

My Interests

Cooking, Gardening, Rock n Roll

I'd like to meet:

I guess there are people I would like to meet, but I don't plan on meeting them on MySpace. If your one of my MySpace friends, your invited to dinner.

Music:

I like all kinds of music: Rock n Roll, Country, R&B, soul, folk, jazz, rap, POP; but each of these categories comes with a qualifier. Like jazz for instance, I don't like it after the early 50's. As for country music; it shouldn’t sound like pop music- just because you’re a redneck doesn't make your music "country".

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and Hedwig & the Angry Inch are the only movies I need on a desert island.

Television:

I don't know- but I just got digital cable. We'll see if it lasts.

Books:

Used to be my only friends, now I know a few people.

Heroes:

Marcella Hazan, Tom Petty, Stephen J Gould, and my dad
