About Me

With the Eventful Life I've Lived up to this Point, Where the Hell Would I Start?

Avoiding idiots! The older I get the less tolerance I have for bullshit, games, and idiotic people. I prefer to be associated with people who have common sense ...It's amazing how many people out there don't have it.

My Interests

Photography, Music, the Beach, Food, the Gym/Swimming, Pets/Animals. Traveling when I can (which is almost never), weekend trips to California and Vegas, the NY Yankees, and Harley Davidsons. Oh yeah, and Tantric Love-Making.

I've been working as a Programmer Analyst for the Arizona State Gov't since 1997. It's nothing too exciting, but it's not too demanding and gives me the flexibility to do a lot of things on my spare time. I also have my Real Estate License (but don't do a whole lot with it given the current condition of the market)

Additionally I do photography which is my passion and my hobby, but lately seems to be turning into a business as I've been getting more and more paid assignments.

I'd like to meet:

You.

My website if you'd like to check it out.

Music:

Rock, Hard Rock, Alt Rock (Anything under the Rock genre). Springsteen ...did you expect anything else from a kid raised in the Garden State? My parents took me to see The Boss for my 10th b-day (my first concert ever).

I also am a huge fan of U2 (18 times in concert - No wonder where my money went) ...the Foo Fighters, and Pete Yorn.

Too many others but some worth mentioning: Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Jane's Addiction, Living Things, Garbage, Depeche Mode, Tom Petty, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, the Doors, Guns n' Roses, Nickelback, Joe Walsh ...too many more to mention. NO Country, and NO Rap or Hip Hop ...it just doesn't stimulate me.

Movies:

The 70's: Apocalyspe Now, Willy Wonka (the original), Star Wars (the originals), Taxi Driver, Kramer vs. Kramer, Bad News Bears (the original). Basically not down with Remakes.

The 80's: Less Than Zero, The Lost Boys, the Flamingo Kid, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Breakfast Club, Raging Bull, Real Genius, the Outsiders, Urban Cowboy.

The 90's to the Present: Blow, the Shawshank Redemption, Murder in the First, Heat, Good Fellas, Get Shorty, Boogie Nights, Reservoir Dogs, Dazed and Confused, Donnie Brasco.

Television:

I'm not much of a TV Hound, but I like 24, the Soprano's, any of the CSI's. David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Blind Date. Reruns of Hawaii 5-O. ESPN, CNN, anything on A&E. Mtv (1981-early 90's or whenver they stopped playing music videos).

Books:

Tuesdays with Morrie, Wiseguy, Catcher in the Rye, Busting Vegas ...and anything to do with Film, Photography, and Organized Crime.

Heroes:


My Blog

MySpace's non-existent Customer Service

It really sucks.  You can't get a human reply where someone actually wrote you ...it's more of a scripted reply from a template.  After 5 messages to them, and continually get...

Me in the 70's

I'll periodically be adding photos from my younger years now that I've been cleaning out my mothers house.  The things you find in the attic, in the bedroom closets, in the corners...

This was how I spent Monday March 13th, 2006.

With 460 hours of sick time, I figured burning one day of sick time wasn't going to get my ass terminated (given that I have so much of it and my sick leave balance alone shows I don't call ...

My cat

Monday night my cat "L.T." (short for Little Tigger) decided he would leave and not come back for about 25 hours.  He went out the pet door Monday night around 8:30 and finally returned when it w...
