...this is the only life that matters...

About Me

.. "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices." -Henry David Thoreau
I have brown hair and blue eyes, and a black Lab named Exodus. I like to ride bikes with Gary Fisher, and boat ride on Christmas Island. My wife is Anna and she's pretty wonderful. We met in high school, but she didn't like me because she says, "You'd have probably made fun of me..." Secretly I did when she wasn't around, so I guess she was right. She'll tell you that I'm honest to a fault, but Genesis just calls it being an asshole *wink,wink*. I've got great friends, and it's nice that we all ended up marrying each other. So my dad died when I was 26, and that sucked. He was the mayor of Pascagoula and worked at the shipyard on a ship. My mom was in charge of the christenings and commissionings at the same shipyard and retired from that job...now she dabbles in money at the hometown bank...you know the one, with the hometown people that you know. I have a brother that lives in California with his wife Kate, his name is Russ. After my dad died, we both did and said somethings to each other that we shouldn't have, so now we don't speak. They're both attorneys out there and are two very successful and career driven people. As for me, I work sauté at a restaurant downtown, across from the old fire station in the plaza, and am currently scheduled to graduate in September with a Political Science degree...making me a political scientist, right? Anna works for the feds, being all federal and stuff, and likes to be a princess the rest of the time.

My Interests

Tantra(just kidding), Anna, Traveling, Good Friends, Planes, Trains, Boats, Books, Writing, Baseball, Clothes, Good Food, and Concerts with assigned seating, among other things.

I'd like to meet:

I'd have liked to have met several people that are dead now, so, with that being said, I wouldn't want to met them anymore, because it'd probably be a one-sided conversation.

Music:

I'm still a huge Blind Melon fan, and I really, actually like these bands...The Grateful Dead, Stone Temple Pilots, The Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin, Béla Fleck, The Allman Brothers Band, Weezer, Neil Diamond, Dave Matthews, Jimmy Buffett, Pantera...

Movies:

The Three Amigos, The Perfect Storm, Cast Away, Proof, Forrest Gump, Dead Poets Society, and any movie that Kate Hudson dies in...

Television:

The Weather Channel, Deadliest Catch, Lost, Family Guy...

Books:

Hemingway, Burroughs, Miles, Robbins, Salinger, Kerouac, Anderson, and Dannreuther

Heroes:

My parents...they knew what love had to do with it...
