I'd rather be Happy than Right anyday!

About Me

Rate my poem, Click hereHiya! First of all...I'm not here to "Hook-up" or meet women or any other crazy shit like that. Life is complicated enough! Speaking of life. I'm 45 now. I write poetry on occasion, Usually for my wifes Birthdays or our anniversaries, sometimes just to releive stress. So, yes I am married, happily or not, still married. We have one daughter and my son both of who's pictures will be posted here someday.

My Interests

Find out Why - Join the Cause I'm an old guy so I have old interests...Such as Camping, Hiking, Fishing, Reading...So on so forth. I enjoy music and I am an iPod owner (let the beatings begin!). I load all kinds of videos on there, Music videos, Funny stuff the I get in emails, Old comedy bits, Movies dot, dot, dot. I take pictures wherever I travel. I've been to Canada, Alaska, various spots in Illinois and Indiana. I hope to update this and get tons of pics and videos on here. We'll see.

I'd like to meet:

Don't send a lame eCard . Try JibJab Sendables !
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net.."The man who shot my paw" said the three legged cat. Mostly I'd like to reconnect with old friends of mine that somehow in life I've gotten too busy or too lazy to stay in touch with. At my business I've met lots of celebrities...mostly musicians and such. Among my favorites: Colin Raye (nice guy, very polite), Joe Walsh (dressed like a homeless guy, I almost didn't recognise him), the band Lone Star (came in real late on night, signed a few autographs), Meatloaf (class act), Ted Nugent (Ted is Ted) and Aarom Neville. A few others: R. Kelley, Nelly (couple of pompous asses). But really. I would like to meet...Someone who sees me. I live, I love, I breathe, I speak, I am an idiot...I am me.

Heroes:

Anyone in a service industry. No matter if you are with the Fire Dept., Police, Teacher, Nurse, I am in awe of your ability to serve others and not think about the money. Every day I meet people that think about money and look down on people that sacrifice so that others can live and succeed. Those are the real heroes.
