About Me

I like to write. I love to laugh.

My Interests

Music, writing, reading.

I'd like to meet:

Big Deal

Joe Purdy.

Brian Wright

Sally Jaye

Music:

Bob Dylan, Joe Purdy, Brian Wright and the Waco Tragedies, Annie Stela, Big Deal, Damien Jurado, Tragically Hip, Spoon, Marah, Black Keys, Sam Roberts, Catherine Feeny, Neil Young, Jaysen Smith, Bob Dylan (get it? it begins and ends with Bob Dylan).

Movies:

The Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams, that wine drinking movie was pretty good too - Lowell from Wings was in it.

Television:

Lost, Amazing Race, Scrubs, Earl, Simpsons

Books:

Joseph Conrad, Nelson Demille, John Sandford, William Deverell. Currently reading a lot of G.M. Ford, that dude can write his ass off. If you want something quick and awesome read some John D. MacDonald - A Purple Place for Dying is cool, so is The Deep Blue Good-by which started the Travis McGee series. Steve King for a good scare or just a good tale in general. His son, Owen King's We're All In This Together is a cool read too. So many good books to read. I'm making a list of books I want to read before I die, I'd better get busy.

Heroes:

Super: Spiderman, Batman. Other: Matt Harding, Juan Mann. Look them up on YouTube.
