My beautiful wife, and our son, I'm extremely pumped about all of that. I dig good quality music, politics, good food, good art, I love to go to museums, hunting(although I haven't gotten to go in a while), fishing, being outside and just looking at everything, appreciating it all, and love workin' out. I like a good coffee, and I like a good quality beer. Or two. I like an intelligent, captivating discussion on whatever. I love humor. I guess so does everyone else. I enjoy concerts, but only if it's quality music. I despise bad music, tv, and movies. I love traveling, getting lost, day dreaming.. I like a good disagreement as long as relationiships aren't at stake. I like the muppets, especially the chef. And I really want a new four-door Toyota Tacoma, 4WD preferably. Keep this in mind if you're getting me a Christmas gift. Thanks.
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet leaders of nations, and just get a glimpse of what really goes on on the inside of people in those spots.

Execution of a Teenage Girl
On August 15th, 2004 a 16-year-old girl was hanged in a public square in Neka, Iran, a small industrial town by the Caspian Sea. Her death sentence was for crimes against chastity. Her name was Atefah Sahaaleh. The only evidence against Atefah was her own forced confession.Atefah railed against her judge in court for its unfairness, but this was her undoing. Judge Haji Rezai, who was also the local mullah, prosecutor and head of the city administration, personally obtained permission from Iran's Supreme Court to execute her, and put the noose around her neck himself before she was hoisted on a crane jib arm to her death.Using undercover footage, eyewitness accounts and drama recontruction, this film tells an unforgettable story of the life and tragic death of an ordinary teenage girl under Iran's mullahs.
Braveheart, Gladiator, Cinderella Man, absolutely. The Green Mile is an excellent movie. I liked Seven, Good will Hunting, the 1st Predator, A Beautiful Mind, The Notebook, etc.. Love the original Winnie the Pooh movies. Good stuff. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, of course. And Kung Pow is amazing, I've seen it 12 times so far and am not sick of it yet.

Television:
Don't watch it much, but I love the news, and Mike got me all hooked on Lost now. Jerk. :)
Books:
John Maxwell, I like most of Tom Clancy's stuff, John Eldredge is an excellent author, and I thoroughly enjoy reading the Bible, always something new going on there.
Heroes:
Alright, I know this is all a little much, and a tad cheesy, or maybe a lot cheesy, but the subject is a big deal to me. So tough.People that will uncompromisingly stand for what's right, whether it or they are popular or not, and whether it or they are received or not.
People that are not moved negatively by adversity, but are provoked to fight for the lives and the freedoms worth fighting for.
People that refuse to realize bounds of fear; the fears of tainting their own reputations, and the fears of losing their very lives, but hold inside courage; not the lack of fear, but the lack of self, to press on for the sake of that which is right and good.
Fighters for the beliefs and ideals worth fighting for, fighters with strength, courage, wisdom, intelligence, and conviction, whether the fight is in the family, nations, politics, entertainment, the work place, or in their own heart. People like that greatly inspire me to be better than I am, and move me to seek God to entirely exact the potential inside of me.
