My Interests

Music, Old school video games, The World Series of Poker, DiD, Cooking, Women, Computers, Iron Chef (Original), Basketball, and many more I can't remember right now.

A brand of soylent green breakfast cereal

a style="color: ..FF0000;"

Music:

Classical: Baroque, Some Opera, Hard rock, 80's ALL, Jazz, Funk, Video Game, just a hodge podge of everything really except ALL RAP, most country, and most Heavy/Death metal and Alternative.

Movies:

Star Wars, Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Lord of the Rings, Wayne's World, Iron Chef, Anime, Family Guy/Simpsons/Futurama, just about any Schwarzenegger, Dirty Harry, most Star Trek, Slapstick comedies, Celebrity Roasts (Dean Martin and some of the newer ones), a splattering of random stuff but you get the picture...either action, comedy, or sci-fi Fantasy.

Television:

Scrubs, Becker, That 70's Show, Blue Collar Comedy, Family Guy, Mad Men, there are more but I don't really get hooked onto anything for long like I used to.

Books:

Not many nowadays due to work, play, and obligation, but I take every once in a while some Joel Rosenberg "Guardians of the Flame", Shel Silverstein's infamous books, A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk ends, and the seldom mentioned but good Falling up.

Heroes:

First and foremost my mother and all she did for me despite her constant medical struggles through the years...also of course my Dad, my Sister, All of our proud and courageous Veterans whether peacetime or war, Anyone who stands for old fashioned values towards others that seems to be all but gone in today's times, and God & Jesus for making it all happen...for the good times and the bad.
