About Me

Not being an original Atlantien is a little strange sometimes. I have lived in Georgia for about 11 years and I'm still finding out odd southern stuff all the time. But I do enjoy learning new things in all aspects of life. "Everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a student." No matter what interaction you might have with someone there is always something to learn from them, things to do or things not to do. Knowledge is great. Pass on what you have.

"Man is a complex being: he makes deserts bloom - and lakes die."

My Interests



Motorcycles have been a long time hobby of mine. I really like riding through the mountains and racing when I get a chance, which is never often enough. Cooking is a deep passion for me, it's the only art medium that involves four of the five senses. Pen and ink art is another favorite. Computers and photography round out my hobbies.

I'd like to meet:

Damn near everybody. My top friends I decided, are best left randomized. Hmmmm...

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
- Jimi Hendrix

Music:

Television:

Ummmm...Law and Order-(CI,SVU), A lot of Discovery, History Channel, and A&E...........................

Books:

I would have to say Tsun Tzu's Art of War, and anything by John Steinbeck, or Edgar Rice Burroughs are some of my favorite reads.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”
- Plato

NY Times Classic Crossword

Heroes:
