And here's why:
Trailblazin' Cowboys of Freedom

My Interests

Standup is pretty sweet. I enjoy soccer, basketball, drinking til dawn, and various outdoorsy stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone. But be warned, I'm really bad with names!

Music:

The Blues. Let's not forget the greens and the yellows. And how about those White Stripes?

Movies:

The Muppet Movie, Blazing Saddles, American Splendor, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Batman Begins, anything by the Coen Brothers, Big, Amadeus, and Dangerous Liaisons. I could go on and on...

Television:

Yes, I have one. I obsess over college basketball. Keep the comedy coming - The Daily Show, South Park, the Simpsons, The Family Guy. And I also watch the nerd channels - History, Discover, National Geographic. I'm Native - gotta keep up with my knowledge of Mother Nature.

Books:

Death in the Long Grass, Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them, Game of Thrones, The Long Walk, Reality Dysfunction, The Stranger.

Heroes:

George Carlin, Emo Phillips, Mel Brooks, Jim Henson, Bill Hicks, Will Rogers, Peter Jackson, Archimedes (yes, that's right, I'm a nerd), and anyone who dances awkwardly but won't let that stop them.

My Blog
