Great Conversation, Art, Football & Baseball, Backyard BBQs, Reading. Just about any kind of museum, exploring new bars (dives to upscale, city to country to a traditional English Pub). Playing Softball. Great movies. Great Friends. Lots more - just ask.
Fellow Artists, Writers, Actors, Musicians, and all-around Cosmically Creative Spirits.And...Women. Very special women. Women who bring something meaningful to this Life Partyof ours. Women with Humour, Beauty, and Intelligence. Women who are Kind. Women who are Inspired, and Inspire. Women who believe in Peace, Love, and Understanding. Artists and Bricklayers. Doesn't matter. As long as you're using your Gift to add to the Cosmic Beauty of it All.Hey, you asked. As for the less philosophic and more specific:I find intelligent, funny, creative women very attractive. Certainly women who value a good sense of humour. A gal with a good mix of traditional values and an adventuresome, playful spirit. A woman who can engage me in stimulating conversation - this is a must! A woman who not only wants to share and teach me about her passions, but who also is open to share and learn about mine. Well, the ones we don't already have in common.Peace & Love. Long-Haired Me, Stonehenge, August 2005 Vietnam Vet's Memorial - The Black Wall - Washington, DC - October 2006 My Favourite Quarterback of All-Time, Joe Montana And my Favourite Defensive Player of All-Time, Ronnie Lott. What a Man.
THE BEATLES. The Stones. The Who. Bob Seger. Bruce Springsteen. 70's Pop (how can you resist vintage Neil Diamond?) & Rock (like the Air Guitar Classic "Long Cool Woman" by The Hollies) and even a bit of Disco (come on, admit it: You know all the words to KC & The Sunshine Band's "Boogie Shoes.") Classic Rock in General. Jazz. THE BLUES: Stevie Ray Vaughan, ERIC CLAPTON, JJ Cale (Bonus Points for anyone familiar with JJ!) Country. Yes, Country, but the real deal fellahs like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakum, to name but a few. 80's ROCK. 60's ROCK (love Jimi). 50's ROCK. Elvis & Chuck Berry & The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis. Sure, I love Classical Music too, I'm just not an expert on it. But Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" gets me every time. As does "The Way You Look Tonight" by Old Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. And Dean Martin is still the coolest crooner of all time.
This is a game I like to play when getting to know someone: Give me your "TOP TEN MOVIE LIST." Doesn't mean it has to be carved in stone. But if you had to pick your Top Ten right now, what would it be? Here's mine (in no particular order other than the first three):Marty's Top Ten Movies: 1. CASABLANCA 2. THE GODFATHER 3. THE GODFATHER PART II 4. ANNIE HALL 5. RAGING BULL 6. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT 7. MARY POPPINS (hey, it was the first movie I ever saw as a kid) 8. BLAZING SADDLES 9. Animal House 10. The Best of Times (a little-known comedy with Robin Williams & Kurt Russell).MONTY PYTHON has it's own separate Marty Favorite Catagory. Also Scorsese films such as CASINO & GOODFELLAS. Love politically-related films like DAVE with KEVIN KLINE or THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Or Buddy Films like 48 HOURS with NICK NOLTE & EDDIE MURPHY, or MIDNIGHT RUN with DeNiro.

ROBERT DUVALL. MERYL STREEP. If you'd like to list your Top Ten Movies for me -- please do!
Professional Channel Surfer. The Daily Show. Also love The History Channel and for some reason, The Food Network, even though those talented folks STILL haven't taught me how to cook better. Classic 70's sitcoms like MASH, All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart.
"East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. Hell, just about ANYTHING by John Steinbeck, he's head and shoulders above any other author as my all-time favorite and inspiration. Most recently revisiting my Irish Heritage reading the Brilliant Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes," "Tis," and "Teacher Man." Pete Hamill's "Snow in August." "Siddhartha." Oh, the list goes on and on. Love Biographies and non-fiction and love to get lost in a great book.
