My Interests

Swashbuckling, time travel, freestyle rap, stand up, anything that scares the hell out of me (i.e. prison), going to the movies.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves stand up comedy, has seen me perform or would like to come check out any of my shows in the future, or anyone who just wants to say "what up!"......Also, fellow MOVIE FANATICS. I'm a total film junkie and love to hear other people opinions on flicks past, present or upcoming.

Music:

I simultaneously have the best and worst music collection ever.

Movies:

Star Wars...Braveheart (apparently, because I'm a man)...The Usual Suspects...The Hunt for Red October...Apollo 13...Lord of the Rings (all of them!!)...Serenity...The Matrix...Red Dawn...Three Kings...The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh...Blazing Saddles...The Court Jester...The Bourne Identity...JFK...Batman Begins...Band of Brothers...Black Hawk Down...Anything with the words "Indiana Jones" in it!

Five movies that make me angry: Batman & Robin, Passenger 57, Demolition Man, Tomb Raider, Ballistics: Ecks vs Sever

Television:

24...Battlestar Galactica...Lost...Prison Break...Jericho...Sarah Connor Chronicles...Family Guy...Heroes...The Shield...ER...The Office (UK & US)...Extras...Firefly...Breaking Bad...The Wire...Malcolm in the Middle...Miami Vice...Batman...Three's Company...I Dream of Jeannie...Thundar the Barbarian...Mighty Orbots!

Books:

Favorite book of all time is Which Lie Did I Tell by William Goldman (thanks D!)...Timeline by Micheal Crichton (is that lame?)...You Got Nothin' Comin' by Jimmy A. Lerner...In Black and White (about the Life of Sammy Davis Jr. - the greatest entertainer that ever lived) by Wil Haygood...Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden.

Heroes:

Batman. Sammy Davis Jr. Chief Matt Whitlock.
