About Me

Simpsons

Add to My Profile | More VideosI'm one of the working stiffs who make the good life possible for so many Botoxed soccer moms and white-collar criminals. I'm a motorcyclist, snowboarder, firefighter, radio engineer geek, partier, traveler (hey, I get to Glenwood Springs every now and then!) sushi-and-sake or shall we just make it another Guiness? kind of guy. I'm still adjusting to my 30s. I love the mountains of Colorado although I would vote for a shorter winter if I could, and hey if the scientists are right I'll have my way soon enough. I am not young and bored enough to fully utilize MySpace.
You Belong in Brooklyn
Down to earth and hard working, you're a true New Yorker.
And although you may be turning into a yuppie, you never forget your roots. Where Should Your Inner New Yorker Live?

My Interests

Obviously not updating my profile!

Music:

Reggae, bluegrass, old Gangsta' Rap ... I think most of what's on the radio these days is crap, really. I'm grumpy and old. I'm having a Morphine revival now. I also think you should check out the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, but they're not on MySpace, an error they will soon rectify or fade into obscurity. They play bad-ass pre-war Delta Blues, if you're into that sort of thing.

Movies:

Full Metal Jacket, Lost in Translation, anything by Monty Python, Harold and Maude, all over the board...

Books:

As time goes on I like non-fiction more and more. Favorite writers are Herman Hesse, Albert Camus -- that existential figure-yourself-out junk. Travel books about motorcycling and Alaska. Stupid expensive motorcycle catalogs and websites. And books on investing, those are always around. I should even read them. When I was just a wee lad I read Stephen King around the clock. I am fucked up from that, count on it.

Heroes:

Bob Braudis. The Sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado. 86% of the vote! He is one of the last of the really good freaks.
