About Me

I still remember those carefree years as a teenager coding intros and demos back on the Commodore 64. Ahhh, youth.

Years later...

Weekdays I'm a Project Manager for a company that installs high-speed WiFi networks. I enjoy what I do very much.

Weekends, you'll find me riding rollercoasters, tinkering with my computer, playing the Wii or PS3, and most likely hanging out with the fabulous RoXXXyDope!

Lately I've also gotten back into The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Come see us at the Nasa Dollar Cinema, www.pccmovies.com and click on Webster, TX.

You can also find me most nights on AIM - just look for "PMODERN".

You have been marked on my profile map!

Guitar Hero, Rockband, Rocky Horror, Themeparks, Roller Coasters, Music, Movies, Computers, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Commodore 64, sleep, prawn, gamecube, wii, ps3, dts, movie theatres, and you.

Movies:

People critisize my taste in movies, but some of my favorites are The Nightmare on Elm Street Series, Alien, Aliens, Superman Returns, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Team America, The Davinci Code, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Chonicles of Narnia, Torch Song Triligy, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Star Trek I II III IV VI Generations First Contact and Nemesis, Star Wars IV V VI, Misery, Lord of the Rings. I watch my Star Trek movies the most, followed by Alien the Alien Trilogy and then Nightmare on Elm Street.
I recently bought a PS3 with the sole purpose of having a Blu-Ray player and I must admit, it was well worth it (it had the added bonus that I can play Rockband on it, too).

Television:

My television interest has shifted since I last updated this. Conan and Letterman are nightly staples, 30 Rock is a Thursday staple (this is without a doubt the best, smartest show on tv), Graham Norton on BBC America is DVR'ed on Saturday. I watch a lot of the History Channel, Discovery, Discovery Science and National Geographic.

Books:

I wish I had more time to read. Some of my favorite authors are William Gibson, Stephen King, Patrica Cornwell, Bently Little ...

Heroes:

is a television show I've never watched.

My Blog

My mom took her last chemo today...

Yup, it's official. My mom took her last chemo treatment today, and will rest for a few weeks, then start 5 weeks of radiation... and then we'll be able to put this horrible nightmare behind us.
