My Interests

Music, the environment, beer, laughter, darts, being outdoors, kayaking, and good friendsAnd of course, my favorite reason to travel: the Dave Matthews Band "Seek Up" Dave Matthews Band at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO - Night 2 September 9-12, 2005 An AMAZING weekend and my favorite DMB experience for 2005From my 3rd row seat: The Tragically Hip "Ahead By A Century"- 06.21.06 Empire Theatre Fan Show, Belleville, ON The only other band I'll travel for other than DMB. And they're worth every mile as well. The Tragically Hip "Long Time Running"- 06.21.06 Empire Theatre Fan Show, Belleville, ON A great night, awesome seats, great set, all at a nice small venue. Good good times.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone kind, fun, and able to show me something new.

Music:

Like Mr. Marley says: "One good thing about music.... when it hits you feel no pain".Any live music is good music (usually).Favorites are: DMB (always first, and who wants to roadtrip?!), The Tragically Hip (a damn close second), Incubus, Pearl Jam, Sevendust, Foo Fighters.(I also have to mention a friend's band, which is also my favorite "local" band: Merit. They kick ass, write/perform their own material, have mucho potential, and their lead vocalist has a voice that is amazing. Check them out at " www.myspace.com/merit ". If you are in the Syracuse region too, go see a show, buy a CD, to a funky jig or something!)I guess I like a wide range of music. I'm a lover of Jazz. My Virginia roots also make me a closet fan of some bluegrass. A good symphony live is something to really experience. Combine different styles into something new, and I'm usually very interested in hearing it.

Movies:

Current favorites:Big Lebowski of course: The DudeOffice Space, Napoleon Dynamite, A Charlie Brown Kwanza , Friday, and many others that don't come to mind right now.

Television:

can often kill brain cells. Network TV sucks the giant monkey nut. Thank God for cable to offer some intelligent options.

Books:

are good. Read more. Learn more. Grow.

Heroes:

Mother Nature: Love Your Mother
