About Me

There are times in life that try us immensely. They test our moral fortitude and force us to prioritze those things in our life that are most valuable, and discard the rest. There are moments when you feel like the strain of the days you are facing might just pull you apart. It is in those moments that your friends and family mean the most as they form the glue that helps keep your pieces together. To those friends and family goes a heartfelt Thanks, that though it may not be enough, is all I have to give.

My Interests

I dive, ski, mountian bike (occasionally), hike, run(a lot), spend time at the park with my son, go to various shows(digable planets, henry rollins, Zion I, Lyrics Born, Sweatshop Union, Sharon Jones, 3 Inches of Blood, John Butler Trio, Brett Dennen) and spend as much time as I can enjoying life.

Music:

I love all kinds of music, John Butler, Brett Dennen, Bjork, Jonny Cash, Latyrics, Blue Scholars, Neurosis, Dave Mathews, Jack Johnson, Ani, Ben Harper, The Clash, Black Flag, Bowie....and on and on....

Movies:

Ski and bike movies are the hit at our house. My fav's are Trailer Park Boys:The Movie, Roam, The Holiday (total chick flick)Shaun of the Dead, Death to Smoochie....

Television:

I love CSI and Rescue me, oohh and my friend Joselynn turned me on to Coupling, but I really don't have time to watch much TV. I watch a lot of shows on ABC.com and like Pushing Daisies. I think that haveing Pee-wee back on TV is "pee your pants" funny.

Books:

I have moved on to way to many HTML code books and lots of diving and yachting magazines to keep up at work. In my spare time I still try to squeeze in a classic or two and a little smut to make up for the lack of television entertainment. So sad, but true.Read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, the prequel to The Da Vince Code. But I have to say that my new favorite author is Christopher Moore. He wrote Lamb and Practical Demon Keeping, The Island of the Sequined Love Nun and more....funny, crass and madly entertaining.

Heroes:

Rosie Riveter, Mickey Rourke (Sin City style),Good ole moms!

In our hands...

I find that each time I am down and out and feel like I have stagnated, something occurs to bring me back around to reality.  There is nothing like the drudgery of days upon, weeks, months and ye...
