I'm a first degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do!! I am very excited about this as it has been a long comittment of training and studying. It is an honor that I share with my three sons. I like to drink Single Malt Scotch (Caol Ila, The Dalmore, Talisker), Frozen Margaritas (TOP SHELF tequila only please!), and Three Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's or any good Pinot Grigio wine. Beer only has to be cold - I'll drink PBR to Heinekin. Don't like the artsy-fartsy microbrews and fancy "apple-hickory grass seed" beers. I fell in love with Guiness on tap in Dublin. There's nothing else like it.
I'd like to meet:
I want to meet fun and cool people who share common interests and have a good time. Let's just chat and have fun.
Music:

I feel like I'm taking CRAZY PILLS!!")...
I'll add more as I think of them...
Television:
BBCAmerica, Discovery and Discovery Science channels are on my TV 24/7. Love the weekend marathons of Pyramids, Mummies, & Tombs. Anything archeological. Anything pathological (autopsies and murder/crime solving). LOVE Family Guy. On the shallow side, I've been totally enthralled by the Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club 2 on VH1. And OMG! I got totally sucked in by "Faith & Hope" the other night, does that make me gay?
Books:
I loved the Harry Potter series. I used to read more, but I try to read as much as I can. Favorite topics: Mid-life Crisis survival books, Spirituality and Alternative Medicine, Raising Teenagers, Reiki Healing, Herbology, Gardening, Easy-Read Biographies like Chyna Doll's book. Al Franken's political commentary books. OMIGOD, I'm becoming a liberal! I'm a big sci-fi & fantasy fan, consumptively reading every volume of Darkover (Marion Zimmer-Bradley), Dragon Riders/Pern (Anne McCaffrey), Xanth (Piers Anthony), the Requisite Tolkien and C.S. Lewis anthologies, and the Thieves' World series edited by Lynn Abbey and Robert Lynn Aspirin.
