About Me


THERE'S NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT ME THAT ISN'T ANY DIFFERENT FROM ANYBODY ELSE, BUT I AM MY OWN PERSON. I HAVE DEFINITE IDEAS AND OPINIONS. I'M NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK MY MIND WHEN NECESSARY. I LIKE PEOPLE THAT ARE STRONG, COMPASSIONATE, LOVE ANIMALS. THEY APPRECIATE THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR FRIENDS, I SURE DO! I CARE ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE, EVIL BUSH ADMINSTRATION. THOSE PEOPLE THAT HELP TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GO DOWN THE TUBES. I CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE THAT TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY LEARNING, TEACHING OTHERS ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY DON'T BUY INTO THE MEDIA MACHINE. THEY THINK FOR THEMSELVES. THEY WILL ALWAYS QUESTION THINGS WHETHER IT'S FOR OR AGAINST THEIR CAUSES. I LOVE ART WORK. I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT IT BUT I KNOW WHAT MOVES ME. ETC., ETC., ETC.,

My Interests

MY INTERESTS ARE VARIED. MUSIC AND DANCE IS A GREAT INTEREST. WHAT'S GOING ON POLITICALLY IN THIS WORLD AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO CHANGE IT. MY FAMILY AND SMALL GROUP OF FRIENDS ARE MY INTEREST. WHAT I'M IN THE MOOD FOR AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME WILL INTEREST ME.

I'd like to meet:

I LIKE TO BE AROUND PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE SAME GENERAL THINGS THAT I DO. I FIND PEOPLE WHO HAVE A WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR. I LIKE THOSE THAT CARE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR WORLD. THEY DON'T ACCEPT THINGS AT FACE VALUE AND QUESTION THINGS THAT 'DON'T QUITE ADD UP'. THEY STILL ARE ABLE TO BE CHILD-LIKE WHEN SEEING EVERYDAY THINGS. THEY LOVE BEAUTIFUL THINGS, EVEN WHEN CONSIDERED 'UGLY' BY OTHERS. PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE ARTS. THEY CAN DISAPPEAR LISTENING TO A WONDERFUL SONG, A PIECE OF SCULPTURE OR A

Music:

MUSIC IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE GREAT JOYS IN THIS WORLD. I LOVE LISTENING TO HEAVY METAL, SPEED METAL, SOUTHERN ROCK, LATIN MUSIC, OKINAWAN MUSIC OF WHICH I AM. ANY KIND OF MUSIC THAT MOVES ME IS WHAT I ENJOY.

Movies:

I LIKE MOVIES THAT ARE AT LEAST PRETTY GOOD FROM START TO END. THERE'S A HANDFUL MADE LIKE THAT. ESPECIALLY THE MOVIES THAT CAME OUT IN MY LIFETIME. I LIKE OLD MOVIES WITH LARGER THAN LIFE STARS. THEY TAKE YOU AWAY TO ANOTHER PLACE. TOO MUCH MONEY IS SPENT ON MAKING MOVIES.

Television:

I USUALLY WATCH C-SPAN, MSNBC, CNN. FOR ENTERTAINMENT, I'LL WATCH RERUNS OF 'EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND', PROJECT RUNWAY, LAW & ORDER, SVU.

Books:

A FEW OF THE BOOKS THAT I LIKED WERE, 'WHEN RABBIT HOWL', 'THE GIRL IN THE BOX', 'HELTER SKELTER'. BOOKS ABOUT THE MOB. I LIKE BOOKS ABOUT PEOPLE I FIND INTERESTING, LIKE AUTOBIOGRAPHIES. AND MOSTLY NON-FICTIONS.

Heroes:

THE 'ICEMAN'. MASTERMINDS ON THE T.V. PROGRAM. I HEAR 'SHIELD' IS A GOOD ONE THOUGH I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET. THE KENNEDY BROTHERS, JOHN AND BOBBY. ANY PERSON WHO MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR THE GOOD.
