My Interests

I collect books and shoes. I love music, and reading.

I'd like to meet:

If I could meet anyone, dead or alive, I'd like to meet Robert Frost. He lived an interesting life, and I think he is the all time best American poet.

Music:

I listen to a little of everything...I like Disturbed, Korn, Finger 11, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jimmi Hendrix, The Who, etc. I love Led Zeppelin.

Movies:

Current Favorites include: Grosse Point Blank, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Serenity, and Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. I don't watch horror movies and prefer comedies. I confess a special fondness for anything Sci-fi.

Television:

I don't watch TV, until it comes out in seasons on DVD (currently watching Firefly).

Books:

My favorite books are "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Their Eyes Were Watching God," "Heart of Darkness," and "Pride and Prejudice"...Can you tell I was an English major?

Heroes:

My heroes are God, My Mom, Robert Frost, Zora Neale Hurston, Ben Franklin, Superman, and Pinky and the Brain.

Boring, troubled, me

I can't seem to shake this feeling of dread that I get when thinking about another semester of graduate school.  It's not that I don't enjoy what I do. It's really that the work is so overwhelmin...
