My Interests

History, Geography, My Celtic Heritage, bagpipes, lacrosse, languages, cultures, and travel.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet some of my ancestors. I'd also like to meet Bill Clinton, Russ Feingold, Barack Obama, Joe Solomnese, and Jimmy Carter.

Music:

Most anything but country and gangster rap. I think my iTunes and my iPod are full of Bagpipe music, classic rock, hip-hop, techno, classical and instrumental stuff, like the song playing on this page.

Movies:

V for Vendetta has to be my favorite right now. Other movies I actually own include Braveheart, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Ride with the Devil, Cold Mountain, Das Boot, Last of the Mohicans, Europa Europa, Barstol Boys, Stand By Me, Empire of the Sun, The Prestige, QAF, Latter Days, and Brokeback Mountain.
