About Me


Well, life has been good as of late, for the most part (read more about this in my Blog "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Where I will discuss various positive events, and also some negative events as well.
Once again the summer went by too fast and we are aproaching the cold winter months in the not so distant future. Although the current days are picturesque with the changing colors of the trees and the cool but pleasant weather patterns, just knowing of the bitter cold that will follow shortly behind puts a bit of a damper on the beauty of fall.
Regardless, we had a good summer. We spent alot of time this summer on the new pontoon boat. Dasha really enjoys being out on the water, as do I. Funny how it just puts her at peace and she can fall asleep in an instant out there, quite an enjoyful way to spend some time.
Katya and Dasha also spent the month of June in Russia visiting family and friends. Time was hard to be seperated, but I kept busy around the house, which definitely helped to pass the time.
Katya is continuing on with her education in pursuit of her nursing degree. She is doing very well in all of her courses. She routinely maintains the highest grades in each class she takes. We are all very proud of her and her accomplishments. You also will read more about this in my blog "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
I look forward to hearing from anyone out there and how they are doing and what path life has taken them on.Go Cubs!

My Interests

Music:

I like all types of Rock, both Alternative and Classic. Favorite bands include Green Day, Metallica, Linkin Park, Franz Ferdinand, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Creed, The Offspring, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Disturbed, The Beatles, System of a Down, Pink Floyd, Live, Led Zepplin, Orgy, Lynard Skynard, Jimmy Eat World, G'N'F'n'Roses and the list goes on and on and on.

There really isn't much that I absolutely hate. Things I don't care too much for but hate is a strong word.

Movies:

Let's see here, Movies are great, too many good ones to list. I am not a huge fan of drama or tear jerkers. A good ole suspense, an action or a horror movie will do alot to get my blood pumping.As of late I have been intrigued by the Saw movie series. Graphic and it keeps you attentive with all the little clues.

Television:

Prison Break (Season 1 & 3) Didn't much care for season 2 and even though a lot of fans hate the fact that they brutally killed off a main character (head in a box) I love it, for it shows some guts in their writing. I think I like season 1 and 3 because they ARE in prison in both those seasons, which fits with the name of the series, as where in season 2 they were outside the walls and diggin for gold.

Books:

50 Laws of Power is a good selection. I choose to base my decisions off of less deceptive practices, but you need to know what your competition will use against you.

Heroes:

My Wife, My Family, the Troops, God, My Parents, My Siblings, My Friends....just to name a few....
