About Me

I want all my friends, those I know and those I have yet to meet to come to my karaoke shows!I have two:Wednesdays 8:30-??? and Saturdays 9-???Both are at Scotty B's Draft House 9477 Highway A1a Alt Lake Park, FL 561-863-4466Directions: I-95 to Northlake. Take Northlake east to Alt A1A, go north for .6 miles. It's on the west side of the road. They got drink specials, and a damn good burger!

My Interests

Karaoke, Acting, Lighting Design, Music, Reading, Philosophy, Buddhism, Hermeticism, the Sumerians, Akkadians, Hittites, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians, and Wargaming, I'm pretty much easy going.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone, ever.
You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?

Music:

In no particular order, the Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, Apocalyptica, Jim Steinman, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, Dave Matthews, Jim Byrnes, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Allman Brothers Band, Jamie Cullem, Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Johnny Cash, Nickel Creek, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Shania Twain, Missy Elliot, Eric Clapton, Meatloaf, Weird Al Yankovic, Bobby Vinton, Alison Krauss, Hank Williams Jr., Eminem, Pitbull, Christy Moore, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Li'l Jon, Peter Gabriel, John Williams, Chiodos, and I know there's more...just can't think of 'em right now. That should give you a general view of the scattered-like-burning nature of my musical tastes.

Movies:

Anything involving Coppola (any of them), Jet Li, Kevin Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Sandra Bullock, Pacino, De Niro, Depp, Emma Thompson, Mos Def, Mark Wahlberg, Dustin Hoffman, Rick Dreyfus, Nick Cage (he's up with the Coppolas, too), Johnny Travolta (in anything NOT L. Ron Hubbard-related), Tom Cruise (see above entry), Liam Neeson, Colm Meaney, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Robbie Redford, Julia Roberts (::sigh::), Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda, Audrey Hebpurn, and her upstart daughter, Kate, Julia Stiles (shut the f**k up right now!), Anthony Hopkins, Larry Fishburn, and one or two others. Oh, and any Monty Python. Oh, yeah, baby. And...um...sadly...Star Trek IV. Yeah, the one with the whales.

Television:

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper. ~The X-Files

Books:

Stephen King, Scott Keith, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Dumas, Jules Verne, The Kybalion, Don Miguel Ruiz, Carlos Castaneda, Zecheriah Sitchin, The Kybalion, the collected works of Dave Barry and Douglass Adams. Oh, and the Frank Miller run of "Daredevil."

Heroes:

Meaghan Gallagher, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, Porthos (in that order)

I want to disappear.  I've been acting like a fool and a boy.  I'm more embarrassed than anything now.  I just hope that no one has to feel the way I've felt ever again.  But, of c...

I'm done

I'm done crying.  I think that I have to put it into words I can see, and not just in my mind's eye.  Maybe then it can transmute from hope to fact.  I'm done crying....
