Animals are the bomb! Plants would be as cool if they could snuggle, or bite! Oh, wait, I have friends with carnivorous plants. Okay, plants rule too. People...., well, my friends rule. Wanna be cool? Be my friend! I like all the individual sports that involve going down a mountain, or up. Dancing takes about 20% of any waking day( on good days) thanks to my handy internet radio! Breaks and beats, baby! I'm a student of life, 'tho I would hardly call that a hobby or interest. History, however, has grabbed me by the nethers and won't let go. Feels kinda nice, actually. If it's ancient warfare, life, mythology or art, I'm there. Try dragging me away from a conversation about one of those topics. Have I mentioned bugs? Oh, I guess if you knew me, you'd know that my consuming interest is in the chitin bound denizens of the world, all million or so species. Insects, spiders....... give me one and you've made a friend. Okay, so I'm a recovering Goth (not the ones who were so influential from 200 AD to 700AD), a cyclist, a bodhranii, a fire spinner, a Burner, a student, a liberal, a handyman, a tinkerer, a dork, an uncle, a husband, a genius (took me long enough to spell that right!), did I mention dork?, entomologist, dude, cat lover, good lover, um, okay, I can't verify that, just ask around....., nice guy, beer drinker, kilt wearer, sword brandisher......
More people like my friends. If we gather enough, we can strike out on our own, taming the wilderness, becoming master of all we see!
Zepp!!! They get top billing. Breaks! Beatles, Depeche Mode and everything 80's, alternative, industrial, White Stripes (whatever kind of rock they are), Celtic music, especially if it's got bagpipes or I can play along, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star......
Lord of the Rings, all three, extended, widescreen.......................... Harry potter, all four, widescreen........................ Kingdom of Heaven! Pirates of The Carribbean, Gladiator, Titus, Master and Commander, Last Samurai, Hidalgo , anything with landscapes as beautiful as my best memories ( and I've seen a LOT!!!) Anything that involves my totally hot girlfriend (okay, we haven't made any...........yet...........)
Venture Bros! CSI, X-Files, Futurama, Simpsons (Groening would like me), MAD TV, Discovery, Nova, anything on the History Channel, a portion of what's on PBS, Monster Garage, Twilight Zone................
I'm curently reading "Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs" by Adrienne Mayor. I'll be starting soon on "Blink" by Ted Dekker. I've always enjoyed Tolkien, Doyle, King, Koontz, Davies, Wilson, Larson....
