About Me

This space for rent.

My Interests

I really enjoy film, I have a ton of DVDs. I play video games like any red-blooded American male, but I like games of all kinds. I'll take your shirt in Monopoly. Push ups and what not at home. Kickboxing. I really like to stay up to date on politics and international affairs, but haven't been doing a good job recently. I love learning new things. There is so much I want to know more about, I wonder if I can fit it all into one lifetime.

I'd like to meet:

Women who know that just because I called you three times last night doesn't mean I'm trying to sleep with you.

Music:

I'm huge into the Blues. Old or new. Its funny, people "know" Memphis is a music city but they really have no idea what that means. You can start with the history; Elvis? Johnny Cash? W.C Handy? BB King? We invented rock and roll and the blues people. We have so much talent just coming out our ears. There isn't a bar or hangout with 20 spare square feet that wont try and slap a power trio in there on the weekend.

Movies:

Film is such an amazing medium. I like it for a lot of the reasons I like comics. You get words AND pictures, its much more emotionally involving. I tend to select films to see and buy based more on director than anything else. My favorites include Clint Eastwood, M. Night Shamalan, David Fincher, Tim Burton, Kubrick, Julie Taymore, and occasionally Speilburg. I try to strike a balance between stuff that is super artistic and stuff that is just fun. I love a good martial arts flick, and have been known to see schlock just because someone I think is hot has a nude scene *cough cough Alexander* My favorite movie is probably a tie between Fight Club and Sin City.

Television:

Kill your television! Or at least, severely chastise it. Southpark is where its at. I love almost every drama series HBO makes, especially the period pieces like Deadwood and Rome.

Books:

I love books! I've only recently got back into the habit of reading after getting burned out pursuing my degree. I read, read, read. Re-reading Something Wicked This Way comes recently. Last completed The Amazing Adventures Of Cavalier and Clay.

Heroes:

All the heroes are dead.

Difficult Decissions

I have realized recently that the realities of the current world will not allow me to live my life the way that I prefer and to also achieve the goals I have set for myself.  Few, if any, will co...

Does this count as something positive?

A few things about acting right:  Honor your word. This extends to things like arriving on time, and includes being careful with what you say. Don't make careless promises.  Lead by example....
