About Me

What can I say? Life is a journey? Always look on the bright side? Karma is cyclic? Three favorite bumper stickers probably sum up the basic philosophy of Bobby: "I'm tired of learning experiences" "Visualize Whirled Peas" "Buckle Up! (it makes it harder for the aliens to suck out of your car)"In essence, life is a crap shoot. You could get held up at gunpoint in broad daylight in the middle of a parking lot one month, then meet the woman of your dreams the next. This happens. Good karma, bad karma. What's the answer? I don't know. It's hard to make heads or tails of things in a world where Aston Kutcher makes more money than Kevin Spacey....or anyone, for that matter. Don't even get me started.

My Interests

I have "multimedia OCD"....you figure it out.

I'd like to meet:

Sir Walter Raleigh (a party ANIMAL, I'm sure), any German guy named Adolph (I'm guessing the name still hasn't come back into vogue in the Fatherland), Gene Simmons for a blistering round of miniature golf, Andy Sturmer to thank him for "Spilt Milk" and all the happy hours of listening it's given me, and Shields & Yarnell....just to find out what they've been up to all these years.

Music:

Power Pop junkie...Jellyfish is the greatest American band of all time. Cheap Trick runs a close second for me. Kiss(Unmasked....totally underrated), Big Star, UFO, Elvis Costello(from SPIKE backwards), David Bowie, Badfinger, Blinker the Star, Naked, Union, The Knack, It Bites, Matt Bianco, Golden Earring, Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Band, old school Heart, The Beatles, Jason Falkner, Talking Heads, Prince.

Movies:

The Big Sleep (all time favorite), The Right Stuff, The Rocketeer, Indiana Jones Trilogy, The Abyss, Lawrence of Arabia, U-571(every submarine cliche rolled into one glorious whole), Real Genius, Little Shop of Horrors, Spartacus, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Fandango, Wrath of Khan, Hobson's Choice, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Auntie Mame, Captain Blood

Television:

Any member of the Law & Order juggernaut, Family Guy, Trek (next gen or voyager), Mythbusters, virtually anything on History Channel or DiscoveryTimes.

Books:

Currently reading: Wittgenstein's Poker: The Story of a Ten-Minute Argument Between Two Great Philosophers (brain food) and Black Water Transit (brain candy)

Heroes:

the inventor of Cheez Whiz, Alec Baldwin's character in "Glengarry Glen Ross", anyone who can play the banjo without smiling.
