My Interests

I'd like to meet:



CHECK OUT MY COMPANY WEBSITE!!!

My "little" pain in the ass...Kingston. 7 months old:

Music:

Pretty much like it all except trance, anything by Europeans, and death metal. I listen to Country and I'm not ashamed to say it. But for the most part, I'm more into talk radio. You will find that most of the time I am only tuned in to music when talk radio goes to commercials. A right wing lunatic or a long haired pervert are always good for a laugh...

Movies:

I watch a lot of movies. Blockbuster stays in business because of people like me. Anything by Quentin Tarantino, movies based on Grisham Books, Almost all Martial Arts Movies, All Tom Cruise movies suck except for Top Gun and he still sucked in that, Office Space, Super Troppers, American Pie, Old School, Road Trip, Meet the Parents / Fockers, Jay and Silent Bob Fight Back, Saving Silverman, National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Eurotrip, Legends of the Fall, Horse Whisperer, A River Runs Through It, Good Will Hunting, Rounders, City of Angels, The Matrix Trilogy, S.W.A.T, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, Shaft, Donnie Brasco, The Recruit, Bourne Identity / Supremecy, Tombstone, Braveheart, Armageddon, The Godfather series...I could go on for a REAL long time. I love movies...

Television:

Sopranos, Entourage, The Riches, Prison Break, Deadliest Catch, Rescue Me, Nip Tuck, South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons...

Books:

Cussler, Clancy, Grisham, Coonts, Ludlum, Baldacci, Follet, Crichton, Marcinko, Rowling (don't tell anyone about that last one). I'm an avid reader and am always looking for suggestions for good fiction authors (no Sci-Fi or Fantasy BS though).

Heroes:

My Mother loves me unconditionally (and that's no small achievement). My Father guides me, which is like playing Marco-Polo with a deaf guy that can't swim, and for that I am eternally gratefull. And my Grandfather, who I think about every day and if I can be half the man he was I will be better than 99% of you out there. He is an inspiration to me on a daily basis.

Besides all the sappy shit...those that serve(d) in our military and anyone who has brought a positive influence to my life or anyone's life around you. How is it possible to live life without someone to look up to? If you have someone in your life that is like that, a hero to you, tell them now. You might not get a second chance.

More things to get used too...

Parking on your lawn is Standard Operating Procedure. Did you know that a good size buck can total a Dodge Shadow if you hit one on the Highway?  My Aunt figured that one out last week. ...

"Baloney"

Who decided it was a good idea to create a lunchmeat that is basically a flattened out "All-Meat" hotdog? Baloney, thats right B-A-L-O-N-E-Y, usually served on cheap white bread with a bit of mayo and...

Question of the Day: Is It Worth It?

Most of you know that I am out of town and some of you know that recently I have been spending days/nights at my Grandfathers bedside as he tries to pull through a fight with a strong case of Pneumon...
