About Me


One of my all time favorite scenes from a movie - OLDBOY:
"Our little group has always been and always will until the end..."
"It's not who I am underneath... but what I do that defines me..."
"It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can GET hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward..."
I am somewhat defined by the following things:
WWW.ICONSOFFRIGHT.COM
WWW.PRETTYPOLLYWEB.COM .
Plenty of pictures are available for your viewing pleasure on both of these websites & on various links thru-out my "blogs". Enjoy!

"They can be a great people, Kal-El... They wish to be...
They only lack the light to show the way...
For this reason, above all... Their capacity for good...
I have sent them you...
my only son..."

"I was dropped on my head as a kid, so since then I've lost interest in just about everything." - 'Morgan Stewart's Coming Home'.

and speaking of 'Morgan Stewart's Coming Home', I'd like to meet a girl while waiting in line to get George A. Romero's autograph. UPDATED: But not have to pay Chris Rowe $20 to do so...

This would be the ideal woman I'd like to meet. Or a clone of the actress that played her:

Oh, and Pam Beesly. I've already met Jenna Fischer, I'd like to meet a real Pam Beesly. :-D

I've also already met all these guys!? Who else could I want to meet? Only the genuine.

Movies:

"Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be saught by us. With every breath we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood til it rains down from the skies. Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal. These are principles, which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. But if you do you, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day, you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish..."
