My Interests

Live rock/ indie/ jazz, cars in general, hiking and off-roading, cooking, swimming, small-business and state's-rights political issues. Love the mountains, like the ocean. I like to talk about and enjoy wine, and I like to drink cocktails like margueritas & mojitos, and rarely beer

I'd like to meet:

Everyone who enjoys everything they do and does it as well as they can while still enjoying it (that's why you don't ask me to vacuum).

Music:

Mostly rock and country: U2, RHCP, Zep, Willie, Waylon, Johnnie, Beastie Boys, Beck, Rush, Prodigy & Crystal Method (esp in car), Big Country (three great rock albums, seriously), early Santana, Yes, The Cramps

Movies:

300, Casino Royale & From Russia With Love, Casablanca, Old School, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Blazing Saddles, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Animal House, Caddyshack, Office Space, Star Wars, Airplane, Firefly/Serenity, American Pie and of course the greatest movie ever filmed: Repo Man

Television:

Everything on prime time TV has been looking familiar for years; playoff baseball is can't miss, and playoff football, esp if my Cowboys or Longhorns are playing.

Books:

Here are some influential favorites: Neal Stephenson right now, Patrick O'Brian, Frank Herbert, James Ellroy (very naughty), Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig may be crazy, but he's a genius), PJ O'Rourke (the funniest writer in America who is not named...), Dave Berry, William Manchester, & the Bible

Heroes:

Winston Churchhill, Alexander the Great, My Dad (May he RIP), Newton, Ronald, Milton Friedman, Jesus Christ (the dude, not the religion, stupid)
