About Me

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Oh. My. GOD!!! Say what you will, but this man can move! I knew I liked older men for a reason...

Music:

Very varied, really, but Metallica is my all time favorite. Nothing else even comes close. Well, maybe Bing at Christmas time but that doesn't count...

Movies:

OLD movies... Classic cinema. Musicals, old comedies, old war movies, anything John Wayne. Too many to list.

Television:

All 3 CSI's, House, Country Fried Home Videos, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, Mythbusters.

Books:

I'll read almost anything. Really. I picked up a Chilton's the other day simply because there was nothing else to occupy me. I prefer horror/sci fi/psychological thrillers and fantasy, but I still get a kick out of Dr. Seuss. Go figure.

Heroes:

My grandfather. WWII vet with a purple heart that he downplays, retired police officer who served for 35 years, colon cancer survivor, heart attack survivor, and the only father I knew growing up.

It Would Appear That Ive Been Tagged.
