I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, here goes...I'm a self proclaimed geek and gadget hound, but I do have social skills. I am a mix of new and old (I heard that 'old man' comment!..), I love the technology we have today, but still have a hold on some old world traditions. I'd love to be able to wear my kilts to work, but I have a feeling that would be a bad idea (if I want to keep my job). Take me camping or to a night at the symphony, I'll enjoy either one equally. On top of all this I can cook, and I'm a good cook to boot. Though I have trouble cooking for one, alway with the left overs....I am a US Navy Contractor and consider it the best job I've ever had. I believe in the no bullshit way of getting things done. On the other hand I can be a subtle twisted person if I'm pissed off.I don't (OK I try not to), judge people too quickly. I don't go by a person's first impression, I give them a chance. I've also been described as one of the most understanding people some have met. Not my description that's from others, but I consider it a huge compliment. I will also claim to be blessed with the best group of friends anyone could want.

My Interests

Anything that strikes my fancy. OK, too vague. Cooking, history, computers & technology, eastern philosophy, gaming, my PT Cruiser, fringe science, facts that are stranger than fiction.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a brain, and you have to use it as well. Be able to carry on a conversation, and have an opinion. I may not agree with you, but at least then we have something to talk about. Also, you've got to be able to deal with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor.

Music:

My musical interests are all over the place. The only exceptions are hip-hop and die hard country. My CDs range from Litz and Wagner to VNV, New Order & Zeromancer to Jethro Tull to Silly Wizard. It's all a matter of opinion.

Movies:


You're Pinhead. As the head of the Church of
Sorrow, you are an excellent leader. You know
how to keep your minions under control
(whether by fear or respect), and conversely,
keep them happy by giving them what they
want. You personify the perfect mixture of
fear and adoration. Just as pain and pleasure
are indivisible in your doctrine, so are
those two qualities in your followers.

Television:

Don't own one.

Books:

Good Omens, Black Company series. Anything H.P. Lovecraft, Poe, Tolkien, Gaunt's Ghosts and many others I'm forgetting at the moment. My bookshelves are full of eastern philosophy and various other esoteric books.

My Blog
