For our fighting heros ~ "They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary

About Me

I think I'm probably the most simple person you'll ever meet; no hidden agendas. I know what I know, I do what I do....and that's all there is to it. I am generally laid back and not hard to get along with. I'm a self-taught musician.

My Interests

Varies from time to time; music most of the time (playing and listening), sports, hiking, dancing, my quiet time…

I'd like to meet:

Supermodels are beautiful girls. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack & Coke all morning. She can make you feel high, full of the single greatest commodity known to man ~ promise....promise of a better day, promise of a greater hope, promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gate of a beautiful girl; in her smile, in her soul, and the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. Supermodels are bottled promise; scenes from a brand new day, hope dancing in stilletto heels. A beautiful girl is all powerful and that is as good as love.Sara Evans; Jacqueline Lord (talent trifecta; musician/ actress/model in no particular order), Marié Digby, Dan Fogelberg (whom I met once but only long enough to ask for his guitar picks. I would have liked to had a converation with him. Unfortunately he has passed away December 16th, 2007, from a 3 year bout with prostate cancer. He's simply the best lyricist ever.)

Music:

Rock, Country, Jazz, New Age Jazz, Swing. If it has a good beat or grabs me it can be anything... but I'm pretty sure it won't be (c)rap.

Movies:

Beautiful Girls; Shawshank Redemption; Body Heat; Last of the Mohicans; Rollerball (the original);

Television:

Burn Notice; NCIS appeals to me because of my varied background; CSI (my sister is one), Smallville

Books:

Illusions, Running From Safety, LOTR trilogy, Robert B. Parker's 'Spenser' series, anything by Robert Ludlum, and the one my sister will write someday.

Heroes:

Mentor is better word I think; my sister Rebecca and my best friend, Helen. Without going into a lot of detail, they both have gone through A LOT in their few trips around the sun and the wisdom on their faces denies the number of their years. When dealing with one of life's setbacks, instead of adopting a "Why me?" attitude they adopt one of "I'm still standing." Their character is strong, their devotion to friends and family unshakable. I lived through a very terrible car accident when I was younger; parts of my face were "put back on". I believe I survived because I was meant to meet these two people. I know I'm a better person for having them in my life. They have helped make me who I am today....or lets just say I'm a work in progress...a piece of clay being molded by loving hands and warm hearts.

If timing is everything, somebody please buy me a new watch. Apparently when it comes to timing I'm still using a sun dial...and it was given to me by none other than Murphy himself.  Case in poi...
