More than anything, I love to spend time with my little boys. I love music!! I like to eperience new and different things and seek them out. I am interested in European martial arts (Savate, Le Canne, Dans La Rue, Irish and English stickfighting, and pugilism). But sometimes I just like to sit with some music on and read. I love the whole outdoor thing. I do it all. Camping, hiking, swimming, and being outside watching a really good thunderstorm are some of my favorites. I like to cook and I'm good at it. I make my own bread and wine. I like to take road trips. I also love history, folklore, and the paranormal and the unexplained. My heritage is Irish and I love anything Irish!

I love movies in general, but my favorite films are usually independant films, movies that don't really follow the mainstream Hollywood formula and have a real good story. But, sometimes I do just want a good old fashioned action/adventure with a lot of shoot em up and car chases. I like films made by David Lynch, John Waters, Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, Jim Sheridan, and Woody Allen. I also like monster movies (the cheesier the better), George Romero Zombie movies (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc.) and thanks to my little men, cartoon movies. Some of my favorite films are: Office Space(!), Reseviour Dogs, Blue Velvet, Rocky Horro Picture Show, Zelig, A Clockwork Orange, Bladerunner, All the Evil Dead flicks (Ash kicks ass!)Domino (Kira Knightly is a goddess!), Gangs of New York, The Exorcist films, Forrest Gump, Pecker, Metroland, The Snapper (a really funny Irish movie), The Field (another Irish film), Sin City, Ed Wood, Saving Private Ryan, New Waterford Girl, The Shipping News, The Green Mile, The Lord of the Rings, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original), Madagascar, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth (Jim Henson's Creature Shop is the best!)The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and anything starring, written by, directed by, or any combo thereof Clint Eastwood.
Don't really watch much TV. I think it's mostly garbage. But, I do love one show because it has so many "truisms" in it, King of Queens. Except one thing isn't very true, I don't think that a woman like Carrie would ever be with a guy like Doug. Yeah, she would love him for his inner person, right. Damn! I'm cynical!
Too many to list...
My hero is my Mom's Dad. My grandfather was in the 101st airborne division in WWII and fought in the D-Day invasion. He lived Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan.
