My Interests

I enjoy meeting up with my friends and doing whatever -- painting the town various shades of red, keeping it low key at some lounge or at someone's house, heading out to the speedway to get my fill of nitro and speed, taking in the great outdoors, or wherever the mood and the day take me...

Music:

I pretty much listen to everything....country (and western--heh), rock, rap, hip hop, r&b, reggae, classical, jazz....Opie and Anthony on XM202 (O&A Party Rock!)

Television:

Rescue Me, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, CSI, MXC, House, Monster Garage, American Chopper, Rides, Overhaulin', Mr. Bean, Sopranos, Rome, Ultimate Fighter, to name a few...

Books:

I love to read. Definitely too many titles to list, but I do like books written by: Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, Robert Heinlein, Stephen Coonts, Jimmy Buffett, JK Rowling, Stephen King, and Neil Strauss
