About Me

I'm not anyone really special... just another average Joe trying to make it in this life. I subscribe to three basic philosophies: 1) Take it one day at a time; 2) This too, will pass; and 3) What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. I try to live and let live, and show love and compassion as much as I can. Other than that, there's not really a lot to know... unless you want to read my blogs...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to re-establish ties with family members and old friends whom I haven't seen in years... lost contact with so many.

Music:

My taste in music has changed over the years. In reality, I can enjoy almost any music if it is done well, and is designed to entertain, and not shock or insult me. I have always liked country, old rock and roll, easy listening, classical, most pop rock, etc. I am not a fan of rap, though it does have a great beat for dancing. I grew up enjoying all of the 60's, 70's, and 80's genre music.

Movies:

Like most people, there are way too many to list. I am an avid movie buff, and I love to get lost in a good story. I can really enjoy an action film, a murder mystery, a "chick-flick" love story, comedy, true life stories, scary movies, etc. I really get into a good movie, and identify with the characters and the story line, and I am not afraid to admit that I do cry when it is appropriate to do so...

Television:

I like TV shows that make you think... mysteries, etc. I like all the CSI's and most shows of that genre. Here lately, I am addicted to HGTV since we bought a house and I am looking for ideas on "fixin' it up."

Heroes:

My hero has always been my father, whom I have affectionaltely called "Daddy" all of my life. I am humbled by his love and his devotion to Mom. He has always worked hard and had a wonderful heart and ethics. I wish I could be more like him... he's a wonderful man, whom I love and admire.

My Blog

The Good Life...

Well, I don't seem to be much of a "blogger." I guess the only reason I am on My Space is to have a way for friends and family to find me, and vice-versa. I posted my first blog two years ago in June ...

Pride

I've heard it said all my life that : "Pride goeth before a fall..." and have always tried not to indulge too much in overthinking myself or my talents, accomplishments, etc. But I think it is a ...

Father's Day...

Well, it's Monday morning and time to get back to the daily grind. I had a great weekend, though. Aubrey, James, Caleb, and Josiah came over from Ohio and stayed with us Friday night and had a relaxed...
