About Me

Just your basic geek. no really, I am. :)
I currently drive a truck over the road with my wife. We live in a 10 by 10 foot box.
The great outdoors is one of my passions. Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Hiking....I love them all. Nothing I like better than sitting around a crackling campfire, drinking a beer and swapping tall tales with friends.

My Interests

Computers, LARPing, Gaming in general. I love Traveller RPG..It is hard to find anyone else to play it however.
Reading Fiction (Sci/Fi and Fantasy) mostly.
Brewing BEER!! (And drinking it....) :P

I'd like to meet:

Hot Chicks!!!! (GRIN)
Actually...ANY interesting people. Most people are just dumb... It is nice to find someone who can actually have an intelligent conversation.

Music:

Mostly Rock....I can tolerate SOME rap and country... Techo has it's ups and downs....Willing to try and listen to anything....At least once.

Movies:

Action types MOSTLY. I do enjoy comedies. One of my all time favs is Gladiator. That movie ROCKS!

Television:

Not much on TV for me these days....Driving like I do I seldom have a chance to watch any.
I DID see a show the other night called "The Dresden Files" It looks like it could be promising. And of course, BattleStar Galactica... :P

Books:

ANYTHING by David Eddings
I have been enjoying the books by R. A. Salvatore

My Blog
