About Me


hmmm.... I guess my basic motivation is to make life easy for other people and for myself. I want to get through life peacefully, laughing as much as I can, while experiencing as much of life as possible.
___Because what you see is what you get with me, I think I'm simple to figure out though everyone who knows me says otherwise. Perhaps I'm a mystery wrapped up in an enigma, blah blah blah... yeah, probably not.
___I have a lot of diverse interests, some of which are listed to the left; Otherwise, why not ask me?
I like getting to know different kinds of people and doing whatever I haven't done before.
___Although I thrive on working under pressure and I have just a touch of OCD, at some point I must break away and do something exciting and/or new... that is when I'm truly free.
___I'm not what you would consider popular or mainstream. My interests don't pigeon-hole me into any one group, so I guess this would be your glimpse of me.

My Interests



Fun !!! Most anything, most everything- that's actually fun anyway, :-P.
But if I must be specific,(sigh), I'd say the following interest me:

Books- I'll read anything in text and I love the movies.

Traveling- I've been to many places because I want to go everywhere and see pretty much everything.
I want to see the things I have yet to see and those places which I'm drawn to see again.

Nothing's better than hiking. I prefer playing boardgames in lieu of barhopping & although I'm not good at chess, I love it & I can play for hours.

Baking pretty much anything that's not healthy, wine (especially merlot), meditating, fishing, Feng Shui, messing around with my computer hardware and programming.

Love flowers, the park, the ocean, the mountains, anything outdoors (well... except for bees, that is). Art museums and going out to eat with friends.

I like to move around and try living in different areas. New experiences.

Have patience during the pauses, it's worth the wait...

I love meeting anyone really.
Specifically though, I'm especially interested in those who can see beneath the surface; See within the facade, the overt exterior of the individual.

Music:

The Doors, Aerosmith, Grateful Dead, Nina Simone, Nora Jones, Led Zeppelin, Godsmack, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Lifehouse, the Eagles, Nirvana, Chopin, Eric Clapton, the Cure, Steve Miller Band, Evanescence, Alice in Chains, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Finger Eleven, Foo Fighters, Puddle of Mudd, Three Days Grace, STP, Breaking Benjamin, Tool, Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffet, Flyleaf, NiN, Janis, CSN & sometimes Y, Bob Marley, Richard Cheese... too many to list at this point.
And yes, my guilty pleasure is '80's music despite its obvious impediments.

Movies:

Office Space, Kung Pow, The Crow, The Doors, Evil Dead, Zoolander, Clerks (& its sequels/spin-offs), Highlander, Blade trilogy, Borat, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Shoot 'em Up... just to name a few.

Television:

The Office, Psych, Heroes, Supernatural, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, curb your enthusiasm, Smallville, & MythBusters.

Books:

My literary world includes a constant infusion of countless arbitrary paperbacks.

But listed below are some of my favorite books
(so far... :-))

The Stand by Stephen King.
The Art of Happiness by The Dalai Lama & Howard C. Cutler M.D.
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.
No One Here Gets Out Alive by Jerry Hopkins & Danny Sugerman.
Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E.Frankl.
Angels Fall by Nora Roberts.

Heroes:

Heroes? Without getting into an existential diatribe on what makes a hero within one's own perspective,
I'll just think about that one and get back to you.
