Ah, booze....I remember now....

About Me

What do you want to know? Ask me and I might even tell you. BTW, I've started posting pictures up on flickr under the member name 'travelingmood'. Feel free to look them over.

My Interests

Let's see...there is audio taping, hiking, mystery novels, writing (not that I have time for any of it). I recently bought a digital camera and I'm started to get a kick out of messing around with it.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can see through the b.s. I sling and that I can count on (and that redheaded girl on the flight from Detroit). Oh yeah, can't forget...

Music:

Getting the most plays these days: Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles, Ryan Adams, The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello), Bruce Springsteen. Hey, John Mooney has a MySpace page now!

Movies:

Whatcha got? I'll watch anything. I don't like watching full-screen DVDs though.

Television:

Rescue Me, Heroes, Countdown with Keith Olbermann...I have little time to watch more than that these days it seems.

Books:

I usually keep my eyes open for anything written by George C. Chesbro, Lee Child and Andrew Vachss. I really have to recommend "As Simple As Snow" by Gregory Galloway (hi there). On occasion, I like to collect signed first editions. Along with the forementioned authors, of which I have at least one of their works in my collection, I also have hardcovers by Lawrence Block (I enjoy his 'Burglar' series) and Michael Moore. I've recently been pleasantly surprised by Christopher Moore and look forward to digging around for his earlier works.

Heroes:

Jenny, Col. Bruce Hampton, Harry Houdini, Ray Bourque, Ted Bruschi, Andrew Vachss, Henry David Thoreau, Michael Franti. Add to that list any author that can hold my attention for five minutes these days.

I find that it's kind of bizarre...

Isn't it a little strange logging onto MySpace and seeing in one panel a girl sticking out her tongue, in another some white dude acting like he's from the hood and finally in another Mitt Romney in h...

Check out time!

Here's an opening line for you: Have you considered how many people (without a doubt now) would be at your funeral if you passed away today?  Now I have no intention of biting the proverbial big ...

I think it's time for a change

My head is in kind of a bad place right now.  I'm trying to work some stuff out in my head; maybe making some long term plans.  Don't be surprised if I drop off the grid for a while.I am get...

iPod

My thoughts have been pretty dark lately.  To prevent myself from ranting and raving about the myriad demons pestering my mind, I decided to praise my iPod.Here's me ordering it to shuffle the so...

Tuberculosis making a comeback?

What's with TB lately?  It's probably a coincidence with all of the news about that one guy with that resistant strain but I happened to be at the Brockton Hospital yesterday and this woman came ...

Search for coherence

I really need to cease pounding these things out like I usually do.  Normally, I feel the need to write something here but whatever situation I'm in leaves me little time to type something&..oh, ...

Vacation Part Two
