My Interests

There are so many things to learn about in God's creation I'm interested in everything... Time with my family, Cooking, Making Things, Neurobiology, Art and Comics, Illusions and Conjuring. I have a strong attraction to the odd, unusual, quirky often kitschy things in life.

I'd like to meet:

I think everyone is interesting...

Music:

My musical tastes were formed in the eighties, but my likes are eclectic. To be honest ... I don't listen to that much music.

Movies:

Strictly Ballroom made me cry ..I'm man enough to admit it. Just saw The Prestige ... amazing, dark, insightful. A must see.

Television:

Beauty and The Geek (the story of my marriage ...loved it from the first season). The Office , ER (yep, Jade and I have watched since show #1), LOST

Books:

So many books so little time ... Non-fiction mainly, The Bible, Anthropology, Cognitive Psychology, Anything by Ray Bradbury etc

Heroes:

Jesus Christ is my ultimate hero ... and anyone who cares for the poor. If you want to be one of my heroes, sponsor a child with Compassion International.
