About Me

This is the way it goes: Sometimes your flush and sometimes your bust, and when you’re up it’s never as good as it seems and when you’re down you never think that you are going to be up again. But life goes on.

My Interests

Julie & writing & reading & hunting & the outdoors & learning & spanish & drinking/////I do not like studying, especially simpleton busy work. "Do not let your education get in the way of your learning..."--Aaron Parrett and all other great men

I'd like to meet:

MyGen Profile GeneratorIn my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

Music:

John Prine, John Mayer, Tom Petty, The Beatles, The Doors, Ziggy Marley, Billy Joel, the list could go one for 3409, but in all honesty I listen to less music than I think.

Movies:

Forrest Gump. Falling Down. Green Street Hooligans. American History X. Jurassic Park. Indian Jones. Crash. Fracture. Shooter. Really just Hollywood Blockbusters...I don't haven't tapped any good 'indy' movie group.

Television:

The Simpsons is the only good television show but I usually just watch it on DVD--I am about 13 years behind.

Books:

Favorite authors is more accurate: John Irving, Louis L'Amour, Raymond Carver, Ernest Hemingway, Kate Chopin, Hunter S. Thompson (the man AND the image), Tom Robbins, F. Scott Fitzgerald and others I still need to discover.

Heroes:

No heros

Rehab on the San Poil

This was his paradise. An eagle glided smoothly across the valley and off in the river a few ducks played noisily. A car maneuvered the corners of Bridge Creek. It rounded the final switchback, ploppe...
