"It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a bad example"

About Me

I'm a pretty typical guy living a life of quiet desperation at work while trying to find a little joy during my non-working hours.

My Interests

My obsession with golf continues...

I half believe better equipment will help my scores, but the other half believes that buying new clubs will just cause me to hit random slices with more expensive gear.

Thought: Golf is the perfect game for someone with OCD.

Obviously I do have other interests - I'm not entirely one dimensional. But I do tend to obsess over one or two things at a time and devote a freakish amount of time and effort in the pursuit of my obsession.

I'd like to meet:

There are lots of people I'd like to meet - that's one of the reasons for being on MySpace isn't it.

I'm a pretty easy-going guy and I really do try not to judge others until I get to know them.

Believe it or not, I don't have any fantasies about meeting porn queens. I'm not some stalker who wants to make love to a screen icon. I do have some grasp on reality.

Music:

A huge mix of stuff - currently, I've got seven different 'types' of music in my car's CD changer. Just felt like mixing things up a bit...

Who knows what it'll be next week.

Movies:

I like the Chuck Heston classics - Omega Man, Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green.

I'm also a big fan of Kevin Smith's flicks - the whole Askewniverse is wonderful!

And from time to time, I've been known to partake in Blaxploitation films - Shaft, Foxy Brown, Blackula, Superfly and Black Caesar.

Television:

When I watch at all, I tend to surf the remote until something strikes my fancy - it could be an indie flick on IFC or competitive eating on ESPN.

I love the Three Stooges, the weird worlds of Sid & Marty Krofft, the Muppet Show, classic cartoons and other silly diversions.

Books:

I'll read just about anything - pull a book off the shelf in the library and I'm usually good to go...

Right now I'm re-reading the Lord of the Rings books because I and wanted to see if they had anything new to say to me...

Heroes:

Those crusaders everywhere who battle for our First Amendment rights. The government wants to take your rights away - don't let them.

Stand up and fight!

Back in Beantown

I'm always amazed by the rumor mill in our office. There had been speculation for a few days that there was going to be a promotion in our office - which prompted everyone to work extra-hard to show h...

Missing in Action?

Add requests

Now I'm not so conceited to think that all of myspace is beating down my door to add me to their friends list. I do far more asking than being asked (sounds like my love life).However, if you are a 15...
