About Me

Who am I? Hmmm good question. I am a book of many chapters. Chivilry isn't dead for it lives on within me. Read the bio and decide if it peaks your interest enough to find out more.

My Interests

My interests are so wide and varied that they would fill a page. I love impressionist Art and Classical music. By the layout of this page youcan see that I also love blues and rock. I am into all of the Sciences though I profess to be an expert in none of them. I love the beach in the summer and the mountains in the winter. I have a passion for films and books. I am now and will always be a huge fan of the NFL's Eagles. I have raced bicycles and ridden Harley's. These are just the tip of the iceburg.
MYSTIC BEAUTY - You are eccentric, enigmatic, and
intriguing. You keep to yourself and so no
one knows the real you. You prefer the solace
and quiet of your own company over big crowds
of people. You are highly intelligent but you
do everything your own way. You come off as
quirky or weird and most people don't
understand you at all. You are probably a
little disorganized. You probably also seem
distant and dreamy but that's because you're
off in your own little world.

Your Values Profile
Loyalty:

You value loyalty highly.
You're completely devoted to your friends and family.
Even if they totally screw up, you're still there for them.
Just make sure they're equally loyal to you!

Honesty:

You value honesty a fair amount.
You're honest when you can be, but you aren't a stickler for it.
If a little white lie will make a situation more comfortable, you'll go for it.
In the end, you mostly care about "situational integrity."

Generosity:

You value generosity highly.
So much so that you often put your own needs last.
There's nothing wrong with having a caring heart...
But you may want to rethink your "open wallet" policy.

Humility:

You value humility highly.
You have the self-confidence to be happy with who you are.
And you don't need to seek praise to make yourself feel better.
You're very modest, and you're keep the drama factor low.

Tolerance:

You value tolerance a fair amount.
You are open to new cultures, beliefs, and ideas.
You have very few prejudices that you're aware of.
And while you are tolerant, you do stand true to what you believe. The Five Factor Values Test

I'd like to meet:

Friends and people who seek interesting conversation. Male or female is not relivent. If you happen to be female and it goes beyond friendship then so be it. What do i look for in a woman? Intelligence, personality, an adventurious spirit and common interests. If you are a wallflower who bends to a man's will then don't waste my time. I would rather you be strong of will and opinionated. It makes life more interesting.

Music:

Rock mostly. Some current bands are Greenday, Nickleback and Three Doors Down. Older rock spans the field. The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, The Band, Hendrix, Sabbath, CCR, James Gang, The Stones, Cream, etcClassical: Mosart is my favorite.Jazz: Armstrong and the big bands. I love Swing dancing

Movies:

I am a huge film buff. The films are to many to list. Casablanca is my all time favorite. As for the rest you can check out my DVD list on DVD Profiler's web site

Television:

I rarely watch much broadcast TV. The only shows I watch currently are Two and a half Men. Two shows on the SiFi Channel and Rome on HBO.

Books:

I read anything and everything. One of my favorite sites is here:http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_PageAt the moment I am reading the World War series by Harry Turtledove. A friend recomneded it so I bought the first 4 books and am working my way through them now.

Heroes:

Hmmmm, I guess my love of history tilts this a bit. Alexander The Great, Julius Caesar, General Sun Tzu, Patton. US Grant. Augustus Caesar. Queen Elizabeth Ben Franklin. Tom Jefferson. John Adams. James Madison. George Washington...
