I come in peace... seeking only gold and slaves.

About Me

I am an enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, surrounded with milk-chocolate and a caramel coated cookie at the center. Wait - that's a Twix.

OK - For a serious description of me - I will post a blog and I will call it... ALL ABOUT ME, THE BLOG. That way I don't have to waste space here.

(Man, I could really go for that Twix right now).

My Interests

.. Geo-Caching, Theater, History, Quantum Physics (as a form of counter intelligence on GOD.), & riding my horse. My dream is to combine all of these interests into one mega-interest. I want to perform in a live theater production of the history of geo-caching with a parrallel universe twist. Oh - and the whole play is performed on horse-back.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can accept responsibilty for creating their own reality..

Anyone who understands the difference between "The Simpsons" and other "cartoons".

Anyone who understands that we all just need a little more "cowbell" in our lives.

Music:

I have really varied taste. I love motown, opera, classic rock, 70's songwriter era crap... that kind of thing. As for my KARAOKE stylings: Billy Joel, Don Henly, Elton John, Meatloaf, and Stevie Wonder (or so I'd like to think). After 3 drinks my karaoke skills improve to U2, Marvin Gaye, and Janis Joplin. After 6 drinks - I can sing ANYTHING (and probably will).

Movies:

Too many movies - not enough bytes. I'll start with the critical ones: Princess Bride, Matrix, Star Wars Trilogy (4,5,6), Harold and Maude, Holy Grail, Napolean Dynamite, Shrek I, Toy Story II, Incredibles, Jaws, Casablanca, V for Vendetta, Comic Book movies,

Television:

If I do watch any shows, I prefer watching them on DVD. Currently "BattleStar Galactica", previously, Heroes, Lost and Lost Room. As for drama, one the best shows on TV was West Wing. "House" is great. Dr House is totally cool. He makes me want to get a motorcylce and a nice vicaden addiction and live life on my own terms. Except I don't have the "brilliant doctor" thing going for me, so it probably wouldn't work out too well for me. For comedy viewing "The Simpsons" is my all time favorite show. I would say "Southpark" is my favorite show now, but the Simpsons has the "Respect" factor. "Scrubs" and "The Office" are very funny. NOTE: I only got into "Gilmore Girls" for a short period of time because my daughter need to bond with me. Reports that I stayed up all night on multiple occasions watching disk after disk to see what happened next with Rory and Loralie, were GREATLY exaggerated.

Books:

Going Back in Order: CURRENTLY reading "The Terminal Man" by Michael Crichton. I just love reading techno thrillers written in the 70's. They spent a page and a half describing the cutting edge technology of the main characters "page-master" (pager), And then reference the new fangled computer that is so small it fits in to a medium sized room. WOOOOOW! Before this I read "The Andromeda Strain", and "Frankinstein" by Mary Shelley, The woman who proved chicks could write about monsters. "Eclipse", "New Moon" & "Twilight", - a Trilogy about Vampires, Werewolves, and high-schoolers - got hooked thanks to Shelbey Rose. "The Endurance" True story of Sir Ernest Shacklton's amazing survival story on Antarctica. "Manhunt" about John wilkes Booth and his flight from justice. "Dreams from my Father" - Barack Obamas first book. "Tesla: A Man Out of Time"(Biography). "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Before that: "The Last Templar. I like history, Fiction or Non-fiction, ancient mysteries, spiritual journey stuff, too., FICTION: Dan Brown, Zelazny, Scott Card, Brooks, Gemmel....

Heroes:

That guy who jumped into the freezing water of the Potomic many years ago to rescue those airplane crash survivors. No, wait! - I want to change my answer to Batman! Screw that first guy, I don't know what I was thinking.
