About Me

Love to travel, see new things, and try new things. Tattooes. Reading, though I'm more into non-fiction than fiction these days. Though, with all the revisionists historians passing off their half-baked claims as truth, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Add Glitter to Pictures

My Interests

Traveling, reading and writing. Coffee, tea, and microbrewed beer. Indian Food.

I'd like to meet:

Someone as independent as me.

Music:

Practically anything except for rap. Favorities include The Police, Klark Kent, U2, New Order, Joy Division, the Pixies, Southern Culture on the Skids, Dick Dale, Link Wray (the true originator of punk rock!), the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, Elvis, William Orbit, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Boceefus, Hank III, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn (God damn, I miss Conway), Tool, NIN, Oribital, Muddy Waters, Them, the McCoys, Lowen & Navarro, Jane's Addiction, the Crystal Method, the Pretty Things, David Grisman, Last Train Home, Mojo Nixon, Old School Freight Train, the Stone Roses, Sonic Youth, the Art of Noise, the Cure, Oasis, Therapy, Pink Floyd, Siouxsie and the Banshees, 808 State, Gaelic Storm, the Dares. But that's all old stuff. There's not much new out there so go and support your struggling local perfomers; chances are, they're 100% better than the crap the RIAA is peddling.

Movies:

Not too many new movies, mostly older classics and independent stuff. Everthing out now sucks. I'm interested in Frank Miller's 300, Control (the story of Joy Division directed by Anton Corbjin, the best video music director ever), Stardust, and anything by Ken Loach.

Television:

They call it the idiot box for a reason, except for 24 and Heroes.

Books:

Currently reading Peter Ackroyd's Shakespeare: The Biography. Anything by Peter Ackroyd comes highly recommended. I loved his biography about William Blake's extraordinary life and this one is proving to be just a enjoyable.

Heroes:

Your average Joe, Stewart Copeland and his brother the late Ian Copeland, Kiefer Sutherland and host of many others.

My Blog

A sigh of relief

I think I've finally been able to relax for the first time in a long time. A few weeks ago, I had a test done at my quarterly check-up with my endocrinologist that revealed I have cardiac neuropathy,...

I know I've been a bad blogger.

It's been such an amazing year this year that I've been having too much fun to stop and recap the recent events in my life. Let me just say that the coolest thing to happen so far this year is the Po...

Special Police Fan Club Show in Vancouver

Since there are quite a few photos and some videos involved, I decided to have my friend Nicole host my blog of my Excellent adventure on her excellent website devoted to Stewart Copeland, the drummer...

So much to say and so little time any more

I was talking with one of my co-workers today about what I did over the weekend (everyone at work seems to be under some false impression that I have some fantastic lifestyle as a bachelor; ok, maybe ...

Grasping the straws of time's hay stack.

This will probably be the last entry I make for a while. Finding time to keep a blog seems to be increasingly difficult as the weather gets warmer and the days get longer (and the traffic seems to be...

An Easter egg bonus!!!

The Easter bunny brought something a little extra this year besides colored eggs and chocolate bunnies. And I'm not talking about hidden DVD extras either. No, he brought us a nasty case of what is...

Things may not always go as planned...

but a lot of times, that is for the best.Sometimes, things don't work out the way you planned. This weekend was one of those types. It started off okay. I went to see a band I saw a few weeks ago a...

Someone please give mother nature Prozac.

It's hard to believe that it was in the 80's here a few days ago; this weekend it will barely be half of that. The cherry blossoms were in peak bloom a few days ago. Now due to the wind and recent r...

A first time.

So Thursday night I wind up doing something I'd never done before: I took Salsa lessons for the first time. The whole thing began a few weeks ago at a Saint Patrick's Day party with some former co-w...

Rabid spring fever at last.

Some random thoughts on this fine spring day. For the first time, it really feels and smells like spring. The grass is green and starting to grow. My neighborhood is full of badford pear trees whos...
