About Me

I'm getting close to re-working this page, but for now I remain lazy...

London bridge at Lake Havasu

My Interests

Life, love, the pursuit of happiness, music, writing, computers, dancing, flying, building "stuff," reading, travel, learning, blah, blah, blah, and the list goes on...

Music:

I have eclectic tastes, but I think that comes from being raised on oldies and '80's music as well as playing an instrument. I like everything from Bach, to Salif Keita, to Pearl Jam, to OINGO BOINGO, to the Beatles. There are even a few Country songs that I can stand to listen to. On the radio, I mostly listen to Alternative Rock and the BBC. God forbid we be informed about what's going on in the World outside the US.

Movies:

Too many to list, but must owns are Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Way of the Gun, Snatch, Hunt for Red October, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Gladiator, Last of the Mohicans...okay, there are too many of those to list as well. Generally anything that stimulates my brain, has explosions, or makes me laugh out loud.

Television:

Rescue Me

The Shield

Over There

Stargate SG1

Stargate Atlantis

Battlestar Galactica

History Channel

BMW owners get treated better!

Okay, so I had a problem with my car of 9 years, my Chevy Cavalier, a couple of weeks ago when it decided that it didn't like the spark plug in the fourth cylinder.  It shot the damn thing r...

I am really starting to LOVE the rest of Craigslist.org

So, I found myself reading "Best of Craigs List" recently.  When I had gone through all of the postings, I decided that I wanted more and started reading the "Rants & Raves" section for the ...
