About Me

I'm originally from a very small town in the southeast corner of Missouri called New Madrid. I've moved around a lot with my job and lived here in Augusta for about four years now. I've made a few close friends since I moved here, but at the moment I'm still single. Most of my really close friends here are people that are in a car club with me called Cheaters-Inc. It's a great group of guys and girls that love cars (mostly domestic performance) and all things automotive. We get together quite a bit and have parties, cookouts, watch movies, play poker, etc. I feel really fortunate to be associated with them all.ToolsForMySpace.com

My Interests

Other than movies, music, and reading, I love to play the piano. I used to be pretty good and compete classically, but anymore it's just something for me that I enjoy. Helps to relax and get my mind off things. Something else I like to do when I'm having a bad day or all wound up is to take the top out and go for a drive. Turn the music up and go. Another great way to blow off steam is to head to the shooting range. Just something fun about blowing the shit out of stuff with a big gun. :).. .. ..2005 Chevrolet Corvette.. ....

I'd like to meet:

I'm not really looking for anyone. I mean, new friends are always great and if the right girl came along I wouldn't run screaming in the other direction. But I'm definitely not looking. I tend to avoid people who cause or enjoy drama. But other than that, I don't really have a set list of things I look for in people. My friends I have now cover a wide range of personalities and interests and I kinda like it that way...
Music Videos - Sure Feels Good

Music:

I know everyone says they love music, but I've really got it bad. I love almost every type of music, except for the extremes like gansta rap and polka. Some of my favorite artists are Evanescence, Diana Krall, Queen, Daft Punk, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Hoobastank, Sarah McLachlan, and Linklin Park.

Movies:

I watch a ton of movies. Although, lately it seems like I'm seeing more and more at home rather than at the theater. Some of my favorites are Caddy Shack, Blazing Saddles, Dumb and Dumber, The Sixth Sense, Shine, Cool Hand Luke, The Blues Brothers, The Natural, all the Matirx series, American Beauty, Wedding Crashers, The Quiet Man, 300, and Pulp Fiction. A few recent ones that have really impressed me - Iron Man, Wall-E, and of course The Dark Knight.

Television:

I really don't watch much tv. The few shows I do like to catch when I can are Survivorman, Mythbusters, and most anything on the Discovery Channel. The two exceptions to that are the show Heroes and The Big Bang Theory. I am so blown away by Heroes and I can't wait for the next episode, and TBBT just cracks me up. Of course, I also love Seinfield and even though I have most of them on DVD, I still end up watching them again when I see one on.

Books:

I love to read and do almost everyday on lunch. My favorite author hands down is Christopher Moore. And his best book hands down is, "Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff, Jesus' Childhood Friend". I've never laughed out loud as many times in one book. It's slightly blasphomeous, but very funny. I also love Dean Koontz, and my favorite book of his is, "Odd Thomas". "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" was a great book by Mitch Album. I usally read most of John Grisham, Michael Crichton, and Greg Illes as well.

My Blog

Proud to be my Fathers (and Mothers) son

I was thinking about something today.  Most of the blogs that I've written have been somewhat negative in nature.  Other than the few personal updates about this or that, everything I've wri...

Stuff that bugs me

This afternoon I had the misfortune of having to spend some time at the local mall.  Being that it was Saturday the place was packed.  And, after spending about an hour and a half there, I l...

Bought a house!

For those of you who didn't know it already, I closed on a house today.  So I'm very sad to say I'll be leaving Enterprise Mill as of the middle of November.  Between now and then I have to ...

People...uuugghhh!!!

I'm really sad.  Because today I officially decided that this world is beyond saving.  The human race, a few exceptions withstanding, is a lost cause.  We have lost our minds!  Ok,...
