About Me

I rock...hard!

My Interests

My family, some computer and role playing games, discussions and debate, playing music, writing, living life to it's fullest!

I'd like to meet:

I don't like to meet people. They make me nervous.

Music:

King's X, Galactic Cowboys, Beatles, Sevendust, Dream Theater, Ozzy, Stryper, Styx, Kiss, Slipknot... generally speaking, anything that has a good heavy sound, but still has melodic vocals. I like many styles of music, when I'm in the mood. Classical, jazz, progressive, but predominatly rock. Also love good guitar players.

Movies:

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, anything that has a good story. I like good suspense / skeery movies, but enjoy a good comedy now and again. I like fantasy themed flicks alot too.

Television:

Heroes, HGTV, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Discovery, History, Biography, That 70's Show

Books:

Usually either Star Wars or music based books....biography or 'how to'. Lots of Kiss and Beatles books. More recently, the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.

Heroes:

Gene Simmons is my only hero.

What a weekend!!!!

I had been greatly looking forward to the last weekend, and for good reason.  I was going to be doing a Deadlock reunion for the class of 87, as well as playing with the Town Criers for the Peace...

Peace of the Past III

It's hard for me to fathom, but apparantly during the late 60's, even my little hometown of Higginsville was bustling with bands.  Music was a very important form of entertainment, and a very imp...

My thoughts on drugs

I suppose it is normal to 'assume' that if someone is a long haired guy who plays rock and roll music, he's had run ins with drugs, so I try not to get upset when people choose to smile and wink when ...

Brennan

Amy and I were very surprised when we got word that we were once again pregnant.  Unlike the other times, where we had basically abandoned any type of precaution and said 'if it's going to happen...

Life continued, although a bit more hectic with a new member of the family who needed more time and energy devoted to him...when Aiden was 4, we found out that he would be getting joined by a new sibl...

My thoughts on American politics, in general...

As long as we are a two party system, we will continue on the path we are on.  When all you have is 2 dominant sides, you rip down the middle and establish 'sides'.  However, when both domin...

Aiden

As soon as I knew Amy had been 'late', I had a gut feeling that she was pregnant, but she was a 'pregnancy denier'.  It was a cold morning in our Lexington basement apartment when she woke me wit...

Amy, chapter 2

And so, Amy and I quickly became 'official'.  Neither of us were independently wealthy...both of us still lived at home with our parents...hell, she was still in High School, but it was a magic t...
