My Interests

NASCAR(Robby Gordon), NFL(Baltimore Ravens), NHL(Toronto Maple Leafs), CFL (Toronto Argonauts)

I'd like to meet:



Music:

I like almost all country music (btw...Shania Twain is NOT country) & classic rock...and although I hate to admit it, I still like listening to alot of the 80's glam rock.

Movies:

Haven't seen a good one in a while, but mostly like comedies. My all-time favorite has to be Blazing Saddles, with There's Something about Mary a close 2nd. Have recently found myself hooked on submarine movies...K-19, The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide. I also like pretty much anything with Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson (I know thats not the PC thing right now) in it.

Television:

Most of the time my TV is tuned to either SPEED or the NFL Network...usually try to catch new episodes of Mythbusters, My Name is Earl and South Park...not much else good on TV in my opinion. I used to be hooked on Survivor, but gave that up, it stopped being original and started being predictable. I am also really tired of one popular show setting off 50 knockoffs, and if I see one more "I'm a washed up/never was celebrity" dancing or singing, I think I am gonna be ill. I also have a thing for "educational" shows, ones on The History Channel, Discovery, etc....but it seems like its the same 10-15 shows over and over.

Books:

Anything related to the Civil War

Can someone please explain to me, how a governor with roughly a 65% job approval rating gets spanked in an election. People these days have no brains, to take a guy who people obviously think is doing...
