About Me

kinda laid back person ..some say if i'd be more laid back i'd be dead ..i hope not cause i'm the caretaker in the town church and the gravedigger .yes ,i still dig graves by hand here ....been asked that a million times .......i do what it takes to raise a family and pay the bills but unorthodox is how some people would describe me .....a good example is that for 15 years i made a living out of doing reptile shows all over eastern canada ...an avid reader and a fan of old time rock and roll and anything pop culture ...from woodstock to ken kesey and the merry pranksters to jack kerouac to the sub cultures of the sixties and seventies

My Interests

anything and everything except what the latest diets are ........i'm on a seefood diet ....i see food ,i eat it

Music:

rock and roll and blues and folk songs from early 60s to the mid 80s

Movies:

easy rider,woodstock,gone in 60 seconds(the original),vanishing point(original one with barry newman too),armaggedon,con air,flashback,billy jack (and the sequels) etc etc etc

Books:

hard to name one book ............hey ,what can i say ,i'm a bookworm with over 6600 books ..........but if i had to choose ........on the road ,dharma bums,big sur by kerouac ...........electric kool-aid acid test by tom wolfe........any back to basic lifestyle books ........
