Music, movies, history,art, I like old cars but can't work on 'em due to lack of patience. I like growing my vegetable garden with my wife and I enjoy hanging out with my niece and nephew. Love my dogs and cat
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who could give me free Rolling Rock beer for life. I'd like that same person to gimme a million dollars too. With that million dollars I'd start a research group to stop male pattern baldness.
Music:
For some people music is just a background theme. Music is a neccesity for me. Rock and roll, blues, metal, rockabilly, soul, punk. I like any type of music that is played like people mean it. I used to have a slew of bands listed here but the damn thing was too long. On Sunday afternoons I toss back a few beers and listen to a local radio show on 88.7 called the Jivin and Drivin show. If I'm awake on Tuesday evening at 11:00, I listen to Shellys homegrown on FM 99. I can't stand music I consider vapid and insincere, Ashley Simpson, Shania Twain, Poison, Whitesnake and so forth. Click on the image below to get some real rock and roll music. It's the 7" by my band The Villains. We're out to battle insincere, vapid music and get some free beer in the process.
Movies:
Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Clerks,The Brain That Wouldn't Die, Full Metal Jacket,Bucktown U.S.A.,Beavis and Butthead the Movie,Super Troopers, The Blues Brothers, Brother Where Art Thou, Slingblade, The Incident, Freaks, Return Of The Living Dead, Evil Dead 1&2, Dellamorte Dellamore, Blind Swordsman series, The Manster, Friday, Half Baked, Saving Private Ryan, Red Spirit Lake, Cheech And Chong films, Hammer films Re-Animator, Wild At Heart. I've enjoyed the Chiller Conventions I've been to, I'll get to another one someday.
Television:
I watch it on occasion. Comedy Central, The History Channel, Cartoon Network, T.V Land. HBO series are cool. Simpsons, Malcom in the Middle, MXC, Worlds Funniest Home Videos, Dr Madblood, Cops, Lawrence Welk reruns. I wish reality T.V. would die, although I watched Surreal Life.

Anne Rice series , Conan series, Steel My Soldiers Hearts-Col David Hackworth, Samurai-Saburo Sakai, Band of Brothers=Steven Ambrose/Dick Winters, Hothouse-Brian Aldiss,Geek Love, The Borribles, Rise and Fall of the Third Riech.
