My Interests

I enjoy music, movies, sports, cooking, traveling and photography. Putting music on my iPod, over 7,583 song at the moment, this thing is a great invention. Love to learn about history, United States, the world and ancient civilazations, like the Romans and Celtics. Enjoy a good glass of red wine, some music, cooking dinner, good conversation and a movie. I like going to sporting events, nice venues, playing golf and tennis. Alabama Football(Roll Tide), the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Stars and the Boston Red Sox.

Looking for new friends and people that enjoy life and sharing fun. I would enjoy meeting friends that like music and if you play an instrument just let me know. Maybe sometime we could jam.

Music:

Love music, mostly alternative, classic rock, 80s, some country and jazz. I play the drums, bodhran, djembe. When you find music you like it's like you are given a special gift from somone.
