Besides music, I'm also into the Euro car scene from time to time when money permits. Little minor things to work on my '94 Honda Civic when I get the drive to finish it.
Otherwise, when I get some down time, I just like sitting in front of the tube watching movies and spending time with my cat, Patches.
As of late, I've been really into history. I've always been but I feel we can avoid mistakes in the future by knowing our past.
ROMAN, SCOTTISH and AMERICAN history are my faves!
Which leads me to this:
OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER:
Though the political opinions expressed here on this, or any other page, are mine and mine alone and does not override the first and foremost drive of TheHMD.com and what we do. We are here to promote music first and foremost. My political opinions are just that, 'My political opinions', and do not neccessarily refelect those of ANY artist, band, or entity that I may promote. Though I may not personally agree with the political opinions of the artist, band, or entity; does not mean that it should overshadow their musical expressions/contributions for EVERYONE to enjoy.
I'm also quite interested in the history of the Great and Sovereign State of OHIO from which I'm from - "The Heart Of It All!"
TheHMD.com supports any peaceful effort towards making Scotland a free and independant nation of her own! - FREE SCOTLAND!
The last flag of the Confederate States of America.
Though I'm Ohio born and Northern bred, I support the rights of the Southern States and what they fought for in protecting their heritage and states rights. That's how I see this flag!! Having said that, let's make it clear that I do not support slavery of ANY KIND nor do I support any restitution for slavery. The opprtunities of a free republic is already granted to you via your citizenship.
"What passes as standard American history is really Yankee history written by New Englanders or their puppets to glorify Yankee heroes and ideals."
- Dr. Grady McWhiney

Favorite Reagan quotes:
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan
"The Federal Government did not create the States. The States created the Federal Government. - Ronald Reagan
"So in this, we must let the States regain their powers as States and reduce the Federal Govt.!! This is one of the main reasons why the Civil War was fought." - Sonny Thomas
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan
"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Reagan
"Peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, but we will never surrender for it---now or ever."
- Ronald Reagan

You are Megatron. You don't know the meaning of the
word compassion. You would stab your own mother
if she so much as looked at you in a way you
didn't like.
However, you do respect loyalty above all else.
Death, destruction, and domination
are your jobs and your hobbies are probably
worse. On a plus side, no one can find a weak
circuit in your mainframe. Rock on with your
obsessively evil self.

Scorpio
You are very dominant in bed, and you like to control your relationship in general.
You are so intense in the sack that none of your partners will ever forget you. You are an amazing lover, because you like to have an equal amount of give and take.

RON PAUL!!
THOMAS JEFFERSON, RONALD REAGAN and BARRY GOLDWATER!
John Wayne
William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk - tought me a bit on how to be responsible for others under me.
Marcus Porcius Cato know as "Cato The Elder"; Marcus Tullius Cicero; Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis known as "Cato the Younger";
Roman Emperors - Gaius Julius Ceasar, Octavian Augustus Ceasar, Vespasian, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius
Artorius Castus - King Arthur (Clive Owen did a magnificent performance in the movie "King Arthur" by the way!)
Sir William Wallace of Scotland - "Guardian of the Kingdom of Scotland and Leader of its Armies."
Benjamin Franklin - "The Everyman's American!"
Generals Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant and George S. Patton
Winston Churchill
Barry Goldwater - "The father of the Conservative movement that lead to Reagan"!
Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly
American Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Wilson Reagan and George W. Bush - They all had 3 things in common: Americans; Changed the world in some form or fashion; and had some really tough and interesting times they went through.
I'd also have to think of my folks for keeping me relatively straight. My dad for being and Not being around, and my step dad for stepping up to the plate.
A few teachers, not too many but even my step dad, as he is a professor here in Dayton.
A few rockstars for their continuious inspiration whether they be dead or alive.
One surprise is the cartoon character, Optimus Prime from The TRANSFORMERS from the 1980's. Yes, one of the very few characters that I've ever came across that was really a positive inspiration for kids of the time and era. On a political scale he might be percieved as a centrist leaning to the left. But his name pretty much says it all. Very good role model for kids in their "wonder" years.
Any great public figure that has caught my attention and respect in history.
