You can't spell awesome without wes.

About Me

**Happily married to a bitchin' broad. Yes, she's a yankee but she makes better sweet tea than you do.

**I am passionate about equal rights for all human beings regardless of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

**Collector of bad/corny/tasteless jokes. Get a couple beers in me and they'll start pouring out.

**I subconsciously turn my southern accent on and off like nobody's business.

My Interests

music, cinema, friends, reading, nashville predators, milwaukee admirals, atlanta braves, sodas, beer, wine, beverages of all sorts, politics, equal rights for gays and lesbians, religions (I have an equal respect/disrespect for almost all religions), nashville, chicago, milwaukee, gorillas, apes, eating good food (especially good ethnic food), hiking, biking, so on and so forth

I'd like to meet:

I've grown pretty cynical about people I don't know, so I'm mostly on here to keep in touch with friends and get back in touch with old friends.

Music:

So much to list...I'm really a fan of any type of honest and sincere music...to name a few...bob dylan, lifetime, u2, propagandhi, the clash, dead kennedys, the smiths, morrissey, husker du, the cure, david bowie, minor threat, the pogues, ray price, black flag, operation ivy, charlie parker, pink floyd, buzzcocks, sham 69, texas is the reason, fyp, belle and sebastian, avail, nick drake, the beatles, thelonious monk, split lip, hank williams sr, rites of spring, jawbreaker, mos def, johnny cash, uncle tupelo, common, unbroken, the business, rem, immortal technique, the replacements, bud powell, bloc party, smoking popes, lemonheads, kid dynamite, quicksand, guilt, falling forward, blood or whiskey, mc5...I could go on forever

Movies:

the goonies, planet of the apes (original), bad taste, amelie, rushmore, big lebowski, garden state, star wars, the dancing outlaw, the station agent, o brother where art thou, le trou, metropolis, nights of cabiria, il posto

Television:

the young ones, the fast show, simpsons, bottom, scrubs, red dwarf, northern exposure, spaced, lost, the office (I like bbc version best, but the american version is growing on me), ronnie johns half hour, the league of gentlemen, curb your enthusiasm, only fools and horses, mr. show, trigger happy tv, three stooges, little people big world oddly fascinates me, I also really like queer eye for the straight guy...Carson taught me when in doubt don't match your socks with your pants (it will make you look like you have on stirrup pants), match them with your shoes!

Books:

walden, ender's game and the entire ender wiggin saga, childhood's end, planet of the apes (by pierre boulle), a separate peace, I am legend, any good sci-fi

Heroes:

So I changed my mind...I do have a few heroes: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. Each of these men fought against unbelievable odds to stand for what was just and each changed the world as we know it.
