My Interests

I do things that make me better than I was the day before; cooking, traveling, learning new skills, dancing (I need a lot of work), guitar (even more work needed), anime, computer geeking, infusing my own brand of vodka, photo art, running, swimming, rock climbing, hiking, theater, community service, staying in and catching a great movie (ok, guilty pleasure), meditation.

I am also a big geek. Even though I am now very personable and outgoing; no matter what you see on the outside, just remember, inside lives the awkward guy you saw in high school with dorky glasses, pens in his pockets sitting all by himself in the lunch room. So if you want to talk about technology, philosophy, human performance, ancient history, sexuality, astronomy, religious history, psychology or just hard science I am well versed in all that and much more.

I'd like to meet:

Living: Kevin Smith, Stan Lee, Bam Margera, Oprah, Dr. Virginia E. Johnson and my new next door neighbor
Dead: Joseph Campbell, Will Durant, Carl Sagan, Dr. M.L.K. Jr., Dr. William H. Masters, Dr. Alfred Kinsey

Music:

Classical, U2, Crystal Method, Dave Mathews Band, some hip-hop (mostly underground), AfroCelt, Pink Floyd, Metalica, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Mighty Mighty Bostones and a lot of other eclectic selections

MORE OF MY FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEOS
Evolution Revolution Love (Tricky)
Call On Me (Eric Prydz)
Dare (Gorillaz)
Hung Up (Madonna)
Sugar, We'Re Going Down (Fall Out Boy)

Television:

I feel if I am taking the time to space out in front of the boob-tube then at least my brain should be getting somthing out of it. So if I had the time and cable I would be watching Discovery Channel, TLC, Science Channel, PBS, History Channel, National Geographic, HBO (Real Sex), LOST, once and a while NCIS and the occasional episode of Maximum Extreme Challenge (MxC)- funny stuff...
