Minnesota Nice?...Yeah, right!

About Me

Same old same old really..moved to Minnesota about 5 years ago with the wife and kids after living in and around Boston for my life...now hanging out just south of the Cities in Savage....miss Boston alot, but the life is nice out here..even with the Antartic temps in the winter, but what can you do?

My Interests

playing with my wonderful kids..catching my beloved Pats, Sox and B's when I can..thank God for satellite and the Sunday Ticket...keeping up with the college hockey scene..digging the Wild..getting out to shows/concerts when they roll through town..not as often as back home, though.

I'd like to meet:

Hoping to run into old friends and acquaintinces at this My Space place....amazing how the years go by and you lose touch with people without realizing it...

Music:

too much to list..depends on my mood...having a strange pull towards old 80's music...must be some midlife crisis or something..pulling out stuff I haven't listened to in years- Clash, Jam, SLF,Flag,Husker Du.. Of course there will always be the Allman's , Dead, Pogues, Saw Doctors, and Van Morrison on at various times- not necessarily in that order.

Movies:

Don't get out to any much lately with kids around..recent viewings have been: The Departed, American Hardcore ( dragged the wife to this - classic!!), Borat.. anything the kids are screaming about at that moment: Narnia, latest Harry Potter,anything Disney puts out... Classic faves: Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, Fargo ( for obvious reasons), Big Lebowski, Good Will Hunting..basically anything set or shot in Boston, for that matter, as I miss it....

Television:

slap me now, I have gotten hooked on Survivor the last few years..god, have I gotten lame..

Books:

Any Hunter S. Thompson, Azerrad's " Our Band Could Be Your Life"- "I, Shithead"-Joey Shithead,Chuck Klosterman's recent stuff,"All Souls" & "Easter Rising"- Michael Patrick MacDonald
