I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm just a guy that is stumbling along wherever fate takes me. Some say that everybody has a destination meant just for them... I'm crazy enough to find it, I guess. I'm always up for a challenge or new experience.My old stomping grounds are Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. A few years ago I took an adventure into the great Northwest and have been here since."Live like you were dying..." - Tim McGraw The most wasted day is that one which we have not laughed. - Nicholas de Chamfort

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet people that think outside the everyday-society box. Politics is ok, philosophy is better. Most people pass by in my life like leaves in the stream. I always remember the people that made me think or feel something from the everyday hum-drum.

Music:

Love the late 80's and 90's alternative/industrial music. Depeche mode, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, and Stone Temple Pilots are a few of my favorite bands.

Movies:

Radio, The Village, and movies that you can watch a second time for the details you missed the first time through. I love movies that really pull the emotion in me to the surface. I aslo love psycological thrillers and anything that makes you "feel".

Television:

A little OnDemand HBO from time to time. I'm watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm" whenever they put out a new show.

On the computer side, playing World of Warcraft. Some Bully and Mercenaries on the PS2.

Books:

For fiction, I'm a fantasy reader. I've read many in the Dragonlance series and currently reading Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.

Heroes:

Thomas Jefferson for his innovative thinking
Ghandi for his humanitarianism
Jack Skellington ... because I'm just like him!

Ancients of Moo-moo

Let's take a trip back into time, about 17 years ago.  In larger cities, techno was finding its way into pop music remixes.  Different genres of music were fusing into something new, excitin...

How valuable is the truth?

Most of us say that we'd rather know the truth... no matter how bad it is.  Most of us deny others the truth for either our own best interests or because we think it's in the other's best interes...
