About Me

I am a lovable jack-as.. that will try anything once. I was born in Tennessee but I grew up in southern Maryland. I have a very proud personality and I practice Greek virtue ethics. I am a Christian Deist that believes in some pretty liberal things. Speaking of liberal... I am fairly in outspoken in my opposition of the current presidential administration. I think and vote left of the isle and I try to keep a fair understanding of national and world-wide politics. What is your daemon?
Your daemon is a swift fox! You are small, sleek, and smart. You are somewhat social but tend to have a small core group. You are loyal.

My Interests

I love adventure and risk taking. I love the theatre and will do whatever it takes short of selling my soul to remain active on stage. I swim bike and hike. I have done one triathalon but would love to do one again once I'm in shape. I love reading Philosophy essays. Just ask and I'll probably try it once.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an open mind

Music:

Any and all with the exception of Country and Rap, and even in small doses those can be dealt with. To list a few: Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffet, Lifehouse, The Killers, Collective Soul, among many others.

Movies:

Pirates of the Caribbean, Donnie Darko, Dead Poets Society, Fight Club, Stewie Griffin the Untold Story, Singing in the Rain (don't knock it till you've seen it), Guys and Dolls, Moulin Rouge, Batman, Batman Begins, The Exorcist, The Patriot, Major League, and WAY too many more for me to list.

Television:

Anything on ESPN, The Daily Show, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha (I know, I know -5 points for the last one but I'm hooked)

Books:

I don't read books very often any more. I am a much bigger fan of philosophical and satirical essays. But here we go, my favorite readings:Moby Dick, Treasure Island, A Modest Proposal (essay), Ender's Game, Lord of the Rings, Don Quixote, Tale of Two Cities, The Greek Code of Ethics, The Crucible (Play), A Midsummer Nights Dream (Play), Death of a Salesman (Play), Waiting for Godot (Play), The Phantom of the Opera (Play & Novel),

Heroes:

My heroes are fairly simple. They are all real people with the exception of one. He is the Ragin Cajun Gambit. Others include; my Grandfather (a radio operator onboard a B-17 during WW2), Messmer, Michael Phelps, my Mom (for putting up with Dad), my Dad (for being a real life Peter Pan and never growing up), and last but not least Tudico
