My Interests

Aerospace Buccaneering.Neurology, blogging, running, biking (road biking mostly, because I can't help feeling that buying a helmet for bicycling is essentially wrong.) Dirtbiking. (the kind that goes "vroom" -go ahead, make the "vroom" sound... It's fun!) I find the world fascinating, so almost anything really.

I'd like to meet:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's not about meeting Ms. "Right." It's more about meeting Ms. "Pretty-damn-close," having the temerity to believe you're good enough for her and a willingness to stick with it and compromise until it becomes something far greater than you ever believed possible.

Music:


lyrics - don't give up .. /
lyrics - eagles ..

Movies:

Old School, Romeo and Juliet, Road Warrior, Red Dawn, Full Metal Jacket, Lost in Translation.

Television:

Deadwood. Nip Tuck. The new Battlestar Galactica. Lost. Although I have to catch all of these .. or on DVD because I haven't actually bothered to buy a tv.

Books:

Anything by Richard Dawkins. Douglas Adams' books. Science fiction in droves. (Snow Crash is my all-time favorite) Psychology books.... yummy.

Heroes:

Stephen Hawking, Howard Stern. (and not because he's pervy, because he's 50 and still living his life more voraciously than most people I know in their late 20's.) Francis Crick (He went back to school for biology in his 30's and went on to discover DNA)

Like it never happened

Just play along...

Last night after Thanksgiving dinner, my uncle and son played chess. My uncle has been playing for 30 years and has close friends with whom he plays regularly. My son has been playing for 8 years (sin...

Mistakes

People make mistakes. You could even look at life as a process of trying to avoid, prevent, minimize, recover from and find lessons in mistakes: I fail, therefore I am. People who don't lear...

Sometimes, it comes and takes you. You walk into the club with nothing more emotional than the standard pleasure of being out with your friends, most likely celebrating another weekend of being ...

Just the same old stuff.

Pam sat leaned forward with her chin resting on her left fist as her right slowly moved the computer mouse. Even in these pre-dawn hours, bathed in the bluish light of the CRT and with a face drawn ti...

Secret Gardens

You can build a fortress around a beautiful garden and keep that garden safe and beautiful forever - - in your memory. Because you can't ever come back and break down those walls, you don't dare. Gard...

Panic

The guides were screaming as they ran from the Landrover, "Ben Tao! BEN TAO!" which Jason imagined was something profound and informative in Chinese, a language he unfortunately didn't speak. Pointing...

Through my eyes

I wish you could see through my eyes, that I could show you yourself as you look without a filter of insecurity. You don't seem to realize that you're amazing, or to notice how much I admire your sen...
