About Me

I'm heavy into theatre, music, movies and literature. Diet Coke is my God right now, since I need to stay awake all day long. My beautiful wife, Steph, takes awesome care of me and keeps me sane during my military career. She also has a tendancy to check every single detail and manages to spank me for it. I love her dearly. And, recently on the 29th of January, 2008, our beautiful baby boy, Logan Michael, was born! Check out his pictures, as they show just a glimpse of how cute he really is!

Requiem for a Dream, Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars, Hunted, Big Trouble in Little China, Fallen, Matrix (the last two sucked), any Kevin Smith movie, The Order, any Kung Fu Movie (english or subtitled), Lord of the Rings, Momento, The Boondock Saints (cheer! go irish), and many more.

Television:

I haven't watched TV since the Super Bowl last year.

Books:

There are too many damn books for me to list them all. Let's just say that I like to read.A LOT!

Heroes:

Well, of all the people I've known, there are several who make the top of my list:
Allie: For putting up with my insanity, instability and depression time and time again, all the while managing a really tight schedule and making your own life into something you've desired. Thank you for being my best friend.
Robert: For being El Bastardo Grande, for teaching me to fight a little better, for also dealing with my shit, just not as regularly as Allie. And definately thank you for being a brother.
Rosco: For being one of the few blood relatives I don't want to see slaughtered like a demon cow, for listening when you can, and for liking RP as much as I do, for alas, without one such as yourself, I couldn't go 'GOD DAMN THAT JEDI GOT HIS ASS KICKED!'... yup.
Steph: For being a wonderful girl for making me smile and doing your best to make my day to day life as happy as it can possibly be. You mean so much to me... you can't even begin to understand. Sure, you can try... but it's like Calculus. I don't think you can understand. *smooch* And, the fact that you'r emy beautiful wife... and we're having a beautiful baby boy... it just gets that much better.

Amazing Grace

You know, it's amazing how simple people think life really is when you look at it. You wake up, go to work, come home to your family, have dinner, maybe read the paper. You go to bed, having your drea...

Because no one will look.

Well, I really don't have anything new to say. I'm thinking of dropping off the 'net all together. Too many people who don't really talk and I sit around, waiting for them all to talk to me. Fuck that...

My REAL Blog

This is my blog on Xanga.com. No reason for me to write twice, when I can just write once and you see this. Good times.
