About Me

..Well, I'm very easy going for starters. I like to laugh, and being around people who make me laugh. If I can come up with something clever to say, I like to make others laugh too! I'm a quiet person most of the time though, and because of that, it keeps people guessing about me, when trying to figure me out. I'm very conservative when it comes to my politics (Republican), and am beyond conservative with regards to my religion, as a "Traditionalist" leaning Catholic. Despite my conservative leanings, I do have an open mind about most things, and I like people who are different or unique in some form or another. I have a very diverse taste in music, and am passionate about it!. Hockey is my favorite sport, and I used to play some years ago. I'm also a huge fan of the Spaghetti Western movies from the 60's and 70's. I'm a night person, and prefer to work at night, and stay up late on my days off. I can get along with just about anybody, but have only a small circle of really close friends. If you've made it into that circle, well, I've got your back, because I already know that you've got mine. I like the "Coast to Coast" radio program (known in the past as the "Art Bell Show" by some), and because of that, have an interest in the paranormal, as well as conspiracy theories. Anyway, I love the outdoors, and outdoor activities. A friend of mine once said of me, "You could put Marc in the middle of the wilderness, with nuthin' but a Coke and a smile, and he'd be happy!" And you know what? He was right! I guess that about covers it.NOW, if you've managed to read through all of that, and you weren't bored to death, or scared away, hit me up with an e-mail, and maybe a friend request. A friendly e-mail is always welcome... especially if you want to add me as a friend! I'd actually prefer it that way, because there are so many fake spam profiles looking to "add" people. And now, the DISCLAIMER, please know that I am not a "friend collector", (yeah, yeah... blah, blah)but cool, nice, funny, friendly people are always welcome. Yeah, I got a big friends list, but most of 'em are bands! Like I said, I like music! animated layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
