My interests... hmm... let's see. Other than spending time with my wife and two sons, and talking to my best friend Jewels, my other interests include:
Writing about science fiction and Elvis Presley, gaming (mainly Star Wars, The Matrix, a few Marvel titles and a lotta early 80's retro), watching movies (mainly ones from my dystopian collection (see Movies), listening to music and reading.

My wife Sellia, who always knows how to straighten me out when I lose control. She always puts me first, even when I don't deserve to be. I've realized recently just how much I need her by my side. When I'm gone for too long without her, I feel lost, I feel empty, I feel sad. She's one of the few reasons my heart continues to beat.***
My two sons Aaron and Cree who keep me smilin' even when the world seems too much to take. They both drive me crazy, each in their own unique ways. But Cree's been the best son a father could ever ask for. And Aaron... well uhhh...Aaron's my little Spiderman, who gets into more trouble than any one superhero should. But none of that really matters, as long as he smiles and says "Hi Daddy". I couldn't imagine living in this world without them.***
Julie is the most considerate and thoughtful person I know. She's always willing to listen to me go on and on and on about anything, and she never ceases to make me laugh. But mainly she's one of the coolest people in the world. She'll probably say I'm full of shit, but don't let the modesty fool you.***
My father Aaron and mother Belinda Jean, my grandfathers Robert and Gordon, my grandmother Dottie and my brother Kevin who need no explaination.***
Elvis Presley, the greatest entertainer who ever lived. When you died, a big part of this world died along with you.***
Freddie Mercury, a star that died much too earlier. You are sorely missed, my friend****
Billy Corgan, the one songwriter in the world who's lyrics seem to parallel my life. Two of my most prized possessions are an autographed book of his poetry (Thanks Jewels!) and his guitar pick from my last Smashing Pumpkins concert on May 6, 2000. If emotion had a voice, it would be Billy Corgan's. ***
George Harrison, my favorite Beatle and a man who never ceases to inspire. Hare Krishna!***
Paul McCartney... heck what can I say Paul. I've been listening to your music since I was 10 years old. And no matter what adventures I've gone through, no matter what's happened in my life, good and bad, your music has always been there. Thanks for the music Sir Paul!***
