About Me

I am a man trying to make something of myself. I have no time for drama (unless it's some really, horrifically bad reality TV and then for some reason I keep getting sucked into it) or bullshit. I know what I want and don't feel as though I have to settle for anything less. I love having my three boys with me and am making a great life for the four of us.DO WHAT OTHERS REFUSE TO DO!!!..

Your Quirk Factor: 67%
You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal.
No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average." How Quirky Are You?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Who I would leave you for... if we were dating... if I happened to actually meet any of these women... and they fell madly in love with me.... AMANDA FROM DRESDEN DOLLS: Perfect combination of freak and performance artist.

Music:

I'm loving Foo Fighters more and more. Watch it to the end. Great version.

MySpace Music Lists at MySpace Toolbox !

Movies:

November 7, 2008 can't get here fast enough. Nobody is cooler than Daniel Craig as Bond.SUPERBAD!!! Wedding Crashers, Can't Hardly Wait, The Godfather, ..Goodfellas, Crouching Tiger, Matrix (the first, the others just made it the never-ending story), 2001, Half-Baked... I really want to see Juno and Atonement.

Television:

Heroes, a whole slew of Bravo reality shows, Entourage, Soprnaos, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Big Love (yeah, a lot of HBO watching), Weeds, West Wing, Mad About You (even as thses have gone off the air)...
Ok, so Flight of the Conchords as a show kind of sucks, but the songs are so fucking funny that they ALMOST make up for how bad the show is... but not quite.

Books:

Anything by Orson Scott Card or R. A. Salvatore, LOTR, Star Wars, Good To Great, Harry Potter (yeah I read em all), All Marketers Are Liars - Anything by Seth Godin, really.

My music, my ego..

I had my winter concert tonight and it went well.  No one noticed the extra 2 measures in Russian Christmas Music that were haphazardly added when the trombones forgot to come in.  But it wa...

Guess what band I saw tonight?

Blind Melon.  Yes, that blind melon.  I had already paid so I figured, "why not see the main event?"  They were ok.  It was great when the singer flubbed the lyrics to "No Rain" - ...

And then he was 3

They just won't stop.  Try as I might, I can't stop the boys from growing older.  And so it continues with today being Andrew's 3rd birthday.  Andrew is funny because on the one hand he...

Proud New Owner of a 4 year old

No, I didn't get anyone pregnant... or at least not in a few years anyways.  It's Nathaniel's 4th birthday.  They all woke up this morning and climbed in my bed.  We sang Happy Birthday...

Just call me crash

So in an effort to keep the insurance industry no their toes, and help out the car manufacturers line their pockets, I got into an accident last night.  Everyone is fine, no injuries. I picked up...
