New York Mets and Jets. Steak. Wine, bourbon, and good beer. Photography; sports, outdoor / nature, and candid. I’m a closet SciFi geek; I like the new SciFi stuff, but also really dig the old stuff. Fishing, nothing better than sitting in a chair on some jetty, waiting for that tug. I wish I had more time to do it. Writing, one of these days, I will get disciplined and sit down and write that book.
I'd like to meet:
If your buying, I'll have a beer or two with ya.
Music:
I’m across the spectrum on this, what’s now being called classic rock to classical, jazz and blues. Frank Sinatra was the coolest! Old school or classic disco / dance. SOME (!!!) country hell, the lyrics really do tell a story. Old school / classic rap. Its hard to categorized, If I like it, I like it, if I don’t I don’t. I guess it depends on the mood. BUT, I really hate the corporate, edited, manipulated and marketed crap that gets away as pop today.
Movies:
Saving Private Ryan, Forbidden Planet, Lord of the Rings (all three), Star Wars (3, & 4-6), Usual Suspects (I rented it on a lark and the ending blew me away), Pretty much any John Wayne movie, Das Boot, Office Space (Story of my curretn career), Happy Gilmore, Any Monty Python movie
Godfather (1&2), Goodfellas, Fail-Safe (original, with Henry Fonda), Seven Days in May, THX 1138, Dr. Strangelove,
The Manchurian Candidate (original, with Fran Sinatra)All I can think of right now, more latter.
Television:
SciFi channel rocks !!! Stargate 1 and Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, and some of the movies. Lost, Band of Brothers. Better to say what’s on my favorites; Fox, WB, Fox News, SciFi, AMC, TCM, A&E, History Channel, National Geographic Channel, Discovery, TLC, The Science Channel, and The Military Channel.
Books:
As of 12/19/2005, current reading is IMPERIAL GRUNTS by Robert D. Kaplan. This book gives a great insight into what our special forces guys are doing today and the challenges we, as a nation face in securing our safety. Also, Kaplan is a impressive writer and he really was able to get in with the troops and tell their story.
Heroes:
All the military, police, fire, and emergency responders serving today.
