Road Engineer

About Me

What can I say about myself? I'm a mechanical engineer. I got on here to keep up with some of my musical interests and then found out some of my friends from the past and present were on here too. So, now I use this place to keep up with some of my friends and meet some new ones. I suppose I'm a pretty down to earth person who tends to be laid back most of the time. Some of my interests include motorcycles, traveling, gaming, music (most kinds), movies, backpacking/hiking, and karaoke. I'm not great but hey, if I were great, I wouldn't be sitting here, I'd be on the road touring. If you know me or want to know me, give me a shout.

My Interests

Motorcycles, karaoke, travelling, backpacking and hiking, gaming, drinking (getting my Passport at Taco Mac), watching live music shows, watching good movies and some not so good, and just hanging out with friends. Oh yeah, college football and basketball; Roll Tide in football and go Jayhawks in basketball.

I'd like to meet:

Maynard James Keenan, Ozzy, Hayes Carll, and any other interesting people that I haven't met yet. That narrows it down right?

Music:

Downstream (Check them out in my top 8), Todd Snider, Will Kimbrough, Tool, John Prine, Allison Krauss, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, The Rounders, Downstream, Neil Young, Hayes Carll, Drive By Truckers, Jimmy Buffet, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristoferson, Billy Joe Shaver, Rhonda Vincent, The Melvins, The Mars Volta, and the list goes on.

Movies:

The Big Lebowski, The Royal Tenenbaums, Tombstone, Napoleon Dynamite, LOTR, Star Wars, Alien, Aliens, The Matrix, all Hitchcock movies, all Coen Brothers movies, etc...

Television:

Don't really watch much TV. The History Channel, Food Network, ESPN, and almost anything that comes on in HD. I've also recently gotten addicted to Lost but it is beginning to piss me off, at this rate it will be 10 years before anything comes close to being wrapped up.

Books:

The Dark Tower series, Insomnia, The Stand, okay most anything by Stephen King. The Left Behind series started out okay but became repetitive towards the end I thought. About to finish the Icewind Dale Trilogy and will start some more books by Salvatore.

Heroes:

God, Family and Friends.

House purchase and update

I think it is fairly safe to say that I have purchased a house. The offer was accepted, the inspection has been done, and I have been approved on the loan. Finally, I'm getting out of this dump of a...

Million Dollar Baby

I watched this movie tonight.  I wasn't really looking forward to it because I had heard that it wasn't really a boxing movie and it was more of a chick flick.  Then I had heard the talking ...
