About Me

Well it is about time I updated this thing, so here goes. If you really want to know more about me, google my name. Not trying to be lazy or anything, but it just saves a lot of typing. You can also check out my blogs here, I tend to wear my emoptions on my sleeve and all so I am who I am.I will make it a little easy for you, here are a couple of videos that tell my story, and the story of The Virtual Pew.What is The Virtual Pew, check this video out.Who am I and why am I the way I am, check this one out.

My Interests

Music, Magic (Illusion, Close Up, Classic), Politics, Religious Dicussion, Real Wrestling, and I could name a half a dozen other things.

I'd like to meet:

I would still love to meet Rob Zombie. You can see my thoughts on Rob Zombie by doing a simple google of "Mike Furches" "Rob Zombie" I finally got that interview, now I am ready to meet him and talk. Can't explain it but the man is a genius, I don't care who you are are what you believe. Of course there are others to meet, and maybe I will, I just continue to be amazed that people want to meet me. I hope I get to meet those people as well.

Music:

Everything but my dream is to have a classic, blues, zydeco bluegrass band. Seriously. Just listen to my music juke box here.I do have a special place in my heart for the band in the video though. A lot of reasons including giving me the chance to work with some of the best bands ever.Off The Wall Rob Cassels Band
..
Add to My Profile | More VideosHere is my Playlist of great songs, enjoy.

Movies:

I love all kinds of movies, I do reviews for Hollywood Jesus and one of the great perks is finally getting advance screenings. I have interviewed Rob Zombie, Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Jones, and numerous others.

Television:

I am a reality TV nut, I like a lot of shows from Big Brother to Hells Kitchen. I like Smallville, and a number of others as well. The following is a video I put together from the 2007 Season of Big Brother 8.

Books:

I pick authors more than books, Creston Mapes, Ted Dekker, Dean Koontz, and I could name about 20 others but these are among my favs.

Heroes:

I don't really have heroes, if I did I guess I would pick Tyler Graebner a little boy I worked with who had cancer. Tyler was a great model to go after the things you love. Of course I don't consider Jesus Christ my role model, I consider him my leader and forgiver.
