About Me

I'm for the first time in my life completely happy in every aspect. I have an amazing girlfriend that blows me away every single day. I spent my whole life looking for her and found my life was completely empty until we met. We have the silliest, most eccentric dog (she's currently chasing the air inside then running outside to sniff at the sprinklers then back inside to chase air). And we have a gorgeous neice that loves to pose for the camera I have a passion for movies and music. My girlfriend and I have the ever expanding collection of both. I'm addicted to my XBOX, PlayStation 2 and Wii.I finally got a fun job where I don't have to work a million hours and can finally have a life. I still love nothing more than going to the Cue Club to play pool. I love to go camping, go hiking at Mt. Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, Zion Canyon, etc.I'm ADDICTED to vampire books, movies, TV, etc. Have no idea where I got the passion for it.Layout made by 2lilAngels

My Interests

Playing Pool, spending time with friends, watching movies, playing for hours on my PS2, Xbox, or Wii. Camping with my gal, and pretty much anything that the two of us can do together. Watching my dog being silly. seeing my gorgeous niece...etc. I LOVE pickles...with a passion. I know weird.

..

I'd like to meet:

I love to meet new people. I have an extremely odd variety of friends, mostly because I get along with just about anyone. I just love myspace for that reason because I get to meet all kinds of people and run into several old friends I haven't heard from in forever.

"In Germany, the Nazis came for the communists and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the labor unionists and I didnt' peak up because I was not a labor unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I was a Protestant so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me.....by that time there was no one to speak up for anyone." -Martin Niemoller

Music:

Wow could go on for hours on this. Love pretty much every kind of music there is. From Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to Rage Against the machine.

Movies:

Like I said my job is movies so I've seen way too many. My current DVD collection grows constantly. So here's the Cliff's Notes version: I love movies about historical events, especially involving World War II. I love comic book movies, like X-men, Punisher, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, V for Vendetta etc. Love Horror movies like House of 1000 corpses, Devil's Rejects, Saw 1&2. Have a passion for Vampire Movies pretty much any new or classic as long as it's not super cheesy like Love at first bite cos that sucked big time. Love Monty Python, Clue, Super Troopers, and the likes as well as pretty much any action movie. Mummy collection, ALL Tarantino movies, ALL Rodriguez movies, Harry potter collection, Resident Evil collection, Riddick's, Aliens. And of course Star Wars, though I was bored, Episode I bored. Saw the movie 300 and it rocks so freaking hard!!

Television:

Most TV that I watch is from DVD's I pick up. I collect shows like Alias, Angel, Buffy, Band of Brothers, Smallville, Lost, 4400, and the L word. Marcia got me addicted to Firefly!!! And I love it, what can I say? And of course I'm totally into Heroes, can't believe we have to wait so long for it to come back!! Your results:

Someone who is willing to stand up for what they believe!!! Blue Eyes had such a great talent! Richard Winters, a man worthy of admiration. One of the greatest guitarist ever, Tom Morello. Hey if you can dress in drag in front of hundreds of people and make them laugh....Did I leave the gas on? Patsy......who ever said a woman can't rock?
