I am here for Friends

About Me

~ Insane, crazy, and just full of life. Energized with the love from my creator. A GREAT friend. A hard worker, sometimes to a fault. I always seem to be going in 14 different directions, doing so many things. I have to keep myself busy. I just love people. Talking, hearing different perspectives, and just being social.

My Interests

Music: Saxophone, and Guitar, little bit of singin'. Anything athletic: Golf, basketball, baseball, football, tennis, cycling, ping-pong, whatever! Anything outdoors: Hiking, fishing, camping, skiing, snowboarding.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I'll listen to anybody that has talent. I'll find some joy in listening to some Redneck wailin' on a banjo if he's got skills. Just like I'll be at peace and be overcome with emotion during an amazing symphonic performance. Or boppin' my head to some R&B joint. Music is all around, and I take in as much as possible. Favorites are probably Jazz & blues. An if I can get it live, look out baby cause I'm fightin' my way to the front.

Movies:

I really like documentaries, and history stuff. Movies that are based on actual events. I just really like history so I guess that feeds over into my movie choices. Like Saving Private Ryan; Band of Brothers; The Ten Commandments; Ben Hur; Spartacus. Old movies are way cooler than new movies too. North by Northwest, Casablanca, the Sting. Nothing like a great comedy though: Happy Gilmore; Napoleon Dynamite; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Television:

I try not to watch it much. But when I do it's usually ESPN. Or the History Channel. A&E is cool too. I like Biography.

Books:

I really don't read much except for my Bible. I figure might as well read the all-time best-seller and forget all the dead weight. Who's with me?

Heroes:

My Mom. Eventhough she went a little crazy when all the kids left home. She is awesome. I'll never understand how she survived raising us boys. She never slept. Always worked 2 jobs, the house was never dirty, did all of our laundry, drove us everywhere. And always gave my brothers and I a good spankin' when we needed it. I thank her for that.
