About Me

I love film, cooking, beer, women, wine, the sound of tree frogs and the snow crunching under my feet, Road Trips, botany, and MUSIC.
I hate Ketchup, Clowns , the Sound of Styrofoam, people who don't know how to or don't feel it necessary to clean their toothpaste out of the sink (you people would probably sleep in your own shit if it didn't smell bad, sorry =-D , Catholicism, antisemitism, and non impulsive people.
If I could do anything it would be to wander the earth with no purpose, but to learn about the worlds oddities and beauty, with nothing but a surf board, pair of skis, and suitcase. I guess I'm a nomad at heart. However, I have a lot of shit to take care of first, so it looks like Orlando is my current stopping point. I love the sight of something new through traveling, but I live for revisiting the past. I've seen too many beautiful places to name my favorite, but I'll give it a "High Fidelity" top five. Cayman Brac of the Cayman Islands, Seattle, Paris, Mont St. Michel in France and New York City. I've always wanted to see the green, rolling Irish hills, and Greek Isles.
I have too many hobbies and interests to keep up with, but I will say I love and respect every kind of art, and the most amazing thing about art is that it is in everything.
I try not to watch anymore than 5-6 hours of television a week, because I think, aside from news and hockey, it's a waste of time. I could, however, watch Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sanford and Son, Big Love, Deadwood, Iron Chef and In Living Color all day(without commercials).
My favorite chef is Mario Batali. Emeril is "How to cook for retards"-
"Let's add a little pepper. BAM!"
Audience- "*CHEERs!*"
What the f*@$ is that?!?
I would probably have to do a top five for my favorite authors- Kahlil Gibran, Stephen Davis, Edgar Alan Poe, Lowell Thomas, and Pat Conroy (I'm definitely forgetting someone).
Favorite Directors- Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarintino, Scorsese, Guy Ritchie, and Steven Spielberg.
Favorite artist would, without a doubt, be Salvadore Dali, but Claude Monet and Van Gogh would take a good second and third.
Favorite actor/actresses- Charles Chaplin, Clint Eastwood, Marlon Brando, Jim Carrey and Kevin Spacey.
