"A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they'll ask one of two questions." Either, he said, "they will ask: what in God's name were they doing?" or "they may look back and say: how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?"
Music:
All hail Joe Pa !!!!
I love all kinds of music. Anything really. I have about 800 vinyl LPs and 2 or 3 hundred CDs. It's an addiction really. Anything from oldies like big bands and jazz to modern rock like Green day and System of Down. Right now I am back to basics with Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, and Johnny Cash. Weird combo I know. Allways a favorite is Jimmy Buffett. I have never seen him in concert but that IS on the top of my "Do Before I Die" list. I have even read his books. And last but not least the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan ... may he Rest In Peace!
And than there are the always classic (these have been with me for many years) ACDC, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, the "Motor City Madman" Ted Nugent, Kiss, Billy Idol, Gun and Roses, The Cult, Van Halen, ZZ Top ..... OK and I have to admit I have a thing for Madonna. OK so it is because we were born about a week apart.
Movies:
Just saw I Am Legend and Black Book .... Both were awesome.
I watch movies all the time. But if I could only take 5 and a portable DVD to that desert island .... here we go .... "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (have to take Clint), "Casablanca" (need a classic and it's one of my all time favorites), "The Lord of The Rings - The Return Of The King" (my son Sean cut school and we saw the very first showing of this), "Blackhawk Down" (need some more action and Ill take the book too), and "Kelley's Heroes" (OK more Clint ... it might be a trend).
And some modern classics ... Almost Famous, Animal House, Slap Shot, Van Wilder, and Bond James Bond.
Tarantino ..... Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill I & II
Television:
Summer watching .... Hell's Kitchen and BBC America's Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Gotta love that Gordon Ramsay!
Hot new show on SciFi .... Painkiller Jane
24, Jericho, Lost, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, Survivor, Boston Legal (Danny Crane), The Dresden Files, Lost and more Lost ... and oldies but goodies Hogan's Heroes, McHales's Navy, and Magnum PI
I really liked Day Break on ABC but the powers that be decided I should't watch it!
Books:
I read whenever I can. Mainly military history. Political biographys. Fiction I tend to go for hisotic and action type stuff. Tom Clancy, James Michner, and Robert Ludlum ... I have read almost everything they have written. I wnt through a Hemigway stage a couple of years ago. And read almost everything he wrote. My favorites were "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "A Farewell To Arms". But honestly I read all kinds of stuff. And don't forget comics! Get Fuzzy, Doonesbury, Boonedocks, and online Day By Day by Chris Muir
Heroes:
It might sound strange but among my heroes are my 2 kids. Sean is 17 and will begin studying Enviromental Science at PSU in the fall. Katie is 13 going on 16. They are both good and smart kids. Making the best they can of a tough world to grow up in. Also all the great men and women serving our country. They deserve all the support this country can give them!
