When it's baseball season, it's all about the Padres -- who they should acquire, why they aren't winning, who's the next star in the making... come football season? Replace the word "Padres" with "Chargers". Huzzah!In my spare time I bust out with a pencil and eraser and huge sketch pad. Not much comes of my drawing any more, but it's still fun to get lost for a while. When I have a LOT of time (or simply plan better) I'll sit in front of a computer and write. I'm always starting something new, or constantly proofreading some poor story that gets off the ground but whose wings I keep clipping with over-editing. :o)Every Monday and Wednesday night (and sometimes weekends!) you can find me on a softball diamond. I played soccer when I was younger, but all that running and... coordination... naw, just give me a big ball and a big bat (gotta compensate, don'tcha know?) and I'm set.Funny thing? It seems I've got profiles for each for my interests. Now THAT'S bad!
First off, don't let me get stuck in the "I want to meet all sorts of new people!" shtick, because we all know it ain't true. Yeah, Allah loves wondrous variety (at least, that's what Morgan Freeman once told me), but I don't. Not really. I'd love to meet people who can broaden my horizon a bit, but in the context of a non-dingleberry way.I gotta warn you right off if you're gonna talk to me: I'm a bit of a Grammar Nazi (a term which I understand is highly insensitive to Germans, facists, totalitarians AND proper grammarians, but I needed the shock value -- so I half-apologize) so if you have a problem with properly using "you're" or "your" I suggest you stick with "yer" and I won't get a rash about it.O, and I'm not saying I'll HATE YOU for improper verbage, but I will probably say something about it in a very annoying manner... so you're not allowed to hold that against me.What I DO look for in a MySpace friend is somebody who can keep a conversation. *Special note: emails coming from me tend to be long and vague. You are forewarned, and encouraged to respond in kind.
Every few years my musical tastes tend to adjust themselves. As a result, I really can get into most anything from rap to heavy metal to country, although I tend to exist somewhere in the mid-range of all three.I'm stuck in past decades in a lot of ways; I get down with 80's music despite my lack sentience through most of that decade. ;o) The other day I began to realize that the 90's are becoming the 80's of the 90's. Yeah. I think that made sense. Whatever. I still like all of it.A few favorites? In no particular order: Pantera, Disturbed, Toby Keith, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Stone Temple Pilots, Van Halen, Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, Johnny Cash, Will Smith, Sheryl Crow and Rascal Flatts.O, and I'd be remiss to not mention the musical stylings of one Ms. Ren Stewart. ;o)
I LOVE movies! I'm a fan of any "2nd" film: Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, The Two Towers, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Back to the Future II... wait... screw that movie. What tripe. But everything else applies. ;o)I'm a big fan of almost every genre, but some of my favorite flicks are Black Hawk Down, The Crow, Braveheart, Titanic, Napoleon Dynamite, Starship Troopers (hey, this is MY list, sucker!), Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, Office Space... of COURSE, in addition to the Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings and James Bond flicks.Of course.
I was a child of television in my formative years. I was raised on Robotech, Transformers and The Simpsons; educated by Growing Pains and Family Ties; seasoned by Mad About You and Friends. I get endless enjoyment these days from Alias and Lost, Reno 911! and The Office. Funny thing? The only show I ever watch live is Baseball Tonight. Everything else? DVD city. I'm such a television putz. ;o)
Many of my favorite books ever are either in movie form, or soon will be: Lord of the Rings, Black Hawk Down, Princess Bride, the Chronicles of Narnia, DaVinci Code... I just got a book named Power V. Force, so keep tuned to see how that turns out. You better be right, Tom! :o)
'Nuff said.
