First and foremost, I have so many things I enjoy doing. Just remember, I am very open-minded and enjoy experiencing new things.I am a writer because that is what my heart and my head tells me to do.Of the other interests I can think of, reading, politics, volunteer work, running, dining out, leadership, movies, comics, singing (I love to sing!!!), listening to music, and spending quality time with friends, all come to mind.Of all my interest, reading and writing really are my favorites. I love quiet spots where I can think, relax, unwind, and write and read to my hearts desire. The main thing that gets my heart "a-pumpin" is knowledge! I love to learn and create--period!
THE 4000 PLUS SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES--AND THE REST THAT RISK THEIRS EVERYDAY--I AM MOST THANKFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR SELFLESS SACRIFICE.YOU, THE HEROES, MAKE US THE GREATEST NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. OUR COUNTRY IS FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I love classical music the most:J.S. Bach(my favorite), Mozart(the most talented), Beethoven (the most emotional), Vivaldi (imagination inspiring), Aaron Copeland(most patriotic), John Williams, John Barry.I also like the music from the 30s to 60s:Franks Sinatra(best singer of all time), Tony Bennet(the "cool cat"), Dean Martin (the Italian swooner), Johnny Cash (the Prodigal Son), Elvis(the "revolutionist"), Sam Cook(the smoothest voice), etc.I like modern music too, like techno, country, rock, and alternative, but not heavy metal and rap (they are much too degrading for my taste).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPdFNzNR45s&featur e=related
I love all kinds of movies! Action, non-fiction, musicals, dramas and epic films are usually the top of my "too see" list. I really have too many favorite movies to list. A few great ones to mention, though, are "Saving Private Ryan," any Clint Eastwood "flick," "Guys and Dolls," Will Farrell movies, the "Die Hard" movies, "Letters From Iwo Jima," "The Hunt For Red October," the Superman movies, The Indiana Jones movies, the Bond Movies (Casino Royale is OUTSTANDING), "Batman Begins," "Munich," and many many more. When I am selecting a movie I think of two main things. 1) I think of whether or not this movie can inspire me. 2) I am wondering if this movie will test my mind. If I don't select the top two, I just want to unwind and have some fun...enters Will Farrell.
Television Dramas: Smallville (Season Seven has been AWESOME thus far), Rome (the Best HBO show EVER made), "24" (EVERY country needs a Jack Bauer), and Entourage (I love these fools). Informative Television: Foxnews, CSPAN 1,2, and 3, the History Channel, the Learning Channel, CNN (Sometimes these folks tick me off), the Cooking Network (I love cooking), ESPN 1 and 2 (I love my share of sports).
I love, love, and love books. I read all the time and think learning new things is a great journey. I love politics, history, leadership, economics, and management books! Boring, eh? I know I am a Geek, but I prefer to be real and do the things that make me happy.
