My Interests

Peace, poetry, saving the world from Republicans and everyone else who thinks they know better than Mother Nature. Rock-n-Roll, art, redheads, natural women, you know, the kind that don't plaster make-up all over themselves or color their hair red when it just ain't so. I love art, but I prefer it not cover up the natural beauty of what lies beneath. I am into a variety of sports, I am also a ham radio operator and acitivist for equal rights and peace. Oh did I mention peace? Well, just in case I didn't, PEACE! wz0zzz

I'd like to meet:

You.... .... Elton John. Well, if anyone can turn my poetry into music, it would be him. .... Barack Obama, before he becomes Pesident, because chances are much slimmer after he is elected.

Music:

Beatles, Badfinger, Neil Young, CSN & Y, CCR, Warren Zevon, Harry Nilsson, The Who, The Doors, Hendrix, wow like most of the members of these bands are dead. Hmm, who's still alive? YES, U2, Bob Dylan, Clapton, Elton John, Jewel, REM and a whole lot of others I may add to this list one day.

Movies:

US Vs John Lennon, An Inconvenient Truth, Crash, Clockwork Orange, Memento, Dead Poets Society, Schindler's List, Dogma, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pink Floyd - The Wall, Matrix (trilogy), Star Wars (trilogies), Star Trek (most of them), Superman (1 & 2) and many, many more.

Television:

Anything on National Geographic Network, sports, intelligent sitcoms, currently interested in Smallville, and I find Boston Legal to be interesting, amusing and unpredictable. If television were commercial free, I would watch a whole lot more of it, but I can't stand mindless attempts to sell me shit I don't need.
