About Me

Some may say I'm about as entertaining as watching a potato bake. That could be accurate. But I'm not one to sum up my life in 30 words or less...because that would mean I don't have one. A couple things to mention: I like long walks...especially when they're taken by people who annoy me. And if ever I do foolish things, at least I do them with enthusiasm.

My Interests

Skiing, travel (Southeast Asia particularly), scuba diving, suspense novels, cars and football...good cooking...anything to drink with that? bordeaux, pinot grigio, dirty martinis, pyramid hefeweizen

I'd like to meet:

Oscar Wilde, Helen Keller, JFK, Winston Churchill & Shakespeare...while enjoying a bottle of 1988 Chateauneuf-du-pape Get your own free cool template at msprofiles.com/layouts

Music:

Varies: RHCP, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Ben Harper, Modest Mouse, Bob Marley, Scratch Perverts, De la Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5, Tenacious D, Incubus, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Hard-Fi...I could go on...and on...and on...

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Spy Game, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Goodfellas, Snatch, High Fidelity, Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Television:

Love CSI (Miami, NY and Las Vegas)...House is brilliant; also classic British comedies including Black Adder, Absolutely Fabulous, The Good Life, Men Behaving Badly, Mr Bean...Discovery Channel and Animal Planet -- especially Blue Planet

Books:

Harlan Coben rocks...Unbearable Lightness of Being is amazing...Earthshock is pretty fascinating - looks at natural disasters across the globe
