Music, I love my drum circles, Writing poetry, (Though not too good at it), Photography, Singing dancing, My Dog, walking, hitting the road.I have a son, fighting in Iraq, that I love, very much.I'm ashamed to say that his choices have made me take a closer look at what's going on in this war. I don't want to get into all the political ramifications, that's a personal thing and not for this venue but, here's a little something to get you thinking, if you haven't already.
Any one who isn't angry with the world. There are plenty of reasons to be, but what's the point. Easy going, open minded, fun loving people, those are the ones I'd like to meet.
I was married to Felicia in March of 2007, in Laguna Beach. It was wonderful! I had a great time as did Felicia. Our guests commented on what a good time they had, as for me, it was the smartest thing I've ever done. I love you Feli and thanks for having me!Be afraid, be very afraid.

I like Dramas, Musicals, Sci Fi. Gene Kelly, Fred Astair, are great! West Side Story is one of my favorites as is, Singing in the Rain. Love the Dirty Harry series. Ferris Bueller, bound to be a classic. Silence of the Lambs, hell, I'll go see anything that Anthony Hopkins is in. I'm pretty fond of the Alien series too. Katherine and Audrey Hepburn are amazing. Oh well, another list that just could go on...
There isn't a lot on TV that I care for but, there are some shows that I'm addicted to. I do like the crime dramas like, all the Law and Order shows. I like 24, I hope that one is around for a while longer. I like Monk for the amusing side of it. I've become quite a fan of Friends, though I didn't like it much when it first came on the scene. I think some of the mini series like Burn Notice and Damages are top notch.
David & Leigh Eddings, mainly the Belgariad and Malloreon series, Dean Koontz, Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe series. Fantasy, Sci Fi., Mystery, like that....
Muhamed Ali always comes to mind. He seemed so brash and unlikeable, on the surface, and he didn't care about the people who didn't look further and didn't get it. That made me realize that he was comfortable and confident in himself, regardless of his flaws. He is open minded, yet, he doesn't meander around his beliefs and principals. If you wonder whether a person can be tough as hell and, understanding, and gentle, Ali is that example.
