I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm educated, been all around the world, and collected a ton of stories to share. I love camping, hiking, drinking, clubbing, watching movies, singing, swimming, road trips, acting, writing, traveling, eclectic friends, eclectic music, The Simpsons and CBS Evening news, (the only two things I can't miss) watching all the local teams, (but real life activities always come first) snowboarding, weird people, bizarre humor, Scott Baio as "Charles" from "Charles in Charge", Cookie Jarvis, The San Francisco Bay Area, non-fiction reading, NPR & PBS, Kool but not the Gang, the island of Maui, blue toilet water, Will Ferrell, folks with good hearts. The dislikes? Just a few: Intolerant people, non-recyclers, MTV & all it's subsidiaries, belly button piercings, Puff Daddy or P. Diddy or whatever the hell he is now, people who call San Francisco "frisco", The Dodd family of Reno Nevada, lengthy impeachment hearings, the Nabisco logo, being homesick, Bill Gates, The NBA, people who begin or end sentences with the letters "R" "S" or "P", English accents, violence, small children who ski or speak French, Mr. Bean’s inane shenanigans, Jerry Springer, sports teams with inappropriate Native American mascots, hot dogs, P.P. Jones, coach class, "The Olsen Twins", those who don't understand that a turn signal is an instrument for indicating what you are GOING to do in the near future rather than what you are presently doing, spandex, the little devil child on the Welch's juice commercials, people with too many dislikes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Success:To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people And the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, A garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; That is to have succeeded. -Ralph Waldo EmersonOh, and

Music:

I havent bought anything in a while. I'm so used to liberating it from the internet... .. width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

Glory, Fried Green Tomatoes, Robocop, (only the first one) O Brother Where Art Thou?, Crash, The Smartest Guys in the Room...

Television:

I love television. Intellectuals always downplay its significance, but for all its negatives (and there are a ton) it has some pretty amazing qualities. Perhaps its just the way I watch it. I can see sporting events I could never see in person, I can keep up the news junkie in me, and I can be thankful that I will never accept an offer from someone to reveal bad news to me on a talk show.

Books:

A people's history of the united states by Howard Zinn, Me talk pretty one day by David Sedaris, Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky, All online news, The biography of Che...and I just read Its totally hysterical.

Heroes:

Those doing what they love. Unless of course you love doing something bad. Then you may be my hero for avoiding what you love... although thats a pretty low standard for a hero. You know, let me get back to you on my answer...
