Which Monty Python & the Holy Grail Character are you REALLY?
brought to you by Quizilla

I'd like to meet:

Straight forward people who like to live life on their own terms. Hopefully you life living people aren't idiots eitehr.

Music:

I don't listen to music too much anymore. I'm either playing music or running sound, so, I need a break from it sometimes. When I do listen, I put my ipod on shuffle and let technology surprise me. some of my favorites would include but not limited to: Midnight Oil, Tom Waits, Nick Drake, the Who, the Beatles, Urge Overkill, Uncle Tupelo, Johny Cash, Willy Nelson, the Clash, Big Star, Tom Petty, Son Volt, Radio Head, Coldplay, the Replacements, Jimi Hendrix, Matthew Ryan, the Police, and many more. It takes a lot these days for a new band to grab my attention, and sometimes that's just knowing how to rock out on one simple chord.

Movies:

some favorites include, Shawshank Redemption, the Harry Potter series, Pulp Fiction, Princess Bride, Fifth Element, any Monty Python, anything by Terry Gilliam, anything British ie: the Full Monty, Waking Ned Devine, Billy Elliot, etc... I like all kinds of stuff.

Television:

BBC America, the Learning Channel, Discovery Channel (Myth Busters, Overhauling, Rides, Take Home Chef, CSI Miami,etc...)

Books:

Sometimes

Heroes:

John R. Cash, Peter Garrett
