Did you skip that part? Ok, here it is again: MARTIAL ARTS, pool, darts, BBQ, beaches, movies, reading, WAIT!!!, I left out SEX!
An intelligent, loyal, non-hostile woman with a nice smile AND A JOB! (nice legs wouldn't hurt).
Bach, ray charles, marvin sease, alan jackson, the temptations, david sanborn, lightinin' hopkins, the spinners, blue magic, stevie wonder, sam cooke, harry belafonte, frank sinatra, beethoven, ella fitzgerald, aretha franklin, the drifters, the doors, the rolling stones, john klemmer, mearle haggard, garth brooks, cannonball adderly, even the partridge family when I'm in the mood.Not big on rap, hip-hop, chopin...
Bogie fan. Casablanca is still my favorite. I tend towards movies with action, but a really good drama or original comedy is nice to find. Gee whiz special FX epics are ok in moderation. I DO like science fiction (trekkie). I'll happily spend a day watching dvd's of the Godfather, Appocalypse Now, Blade, or any good samurai (or western) movie. Even though I love martial arts I VERY seldom watch the kung fu movies.
When I get a chance. I liked The West Wing, maybe an old MASH rerun.
My most memorable reads would be: Roots, The Stand, A Book of Five Rings, The Art of War, and Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere. I love to read Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Stony Man, and Robert Parker's "Spenser" novels.
I'm my own Hero, but there are giants I admire. Going outside of my family I would list people like Mandela, King, Chavez,... All of these men fought for justice, not with their hands, but with their souls. TRUE WARRIORS!
