About Me

My name is Mike and I was born in Birmingham, AL on 9-5-69. Outstanding year to be born! I moved to the Orlando area in 1976 and have called it home ever since. Just moved back here after living in San Diego, CA and Sarasota, FL for interim periods. So glad to be back here as I consider myself a local. I work in the real estate industry and life is pretty sweet I must say. I'm an easy going - open minded kind of guy. Cheers~

My Interests

Surfing as much as I can! Been to Costa Rica several times now. It's incredible there. You can pretty much find your own surf break all to yourself on any given day. They say "Pura Vida" there which means Pure Life. Amen! Surfed on the south shore of HI as well. I've also lived in San Diego twice now. Back in Orlando now where the good 'ol east coast is just 45 minutes away. I'm a jogger and I try to get in a run at least 4-5 times a week. It's a great mood lifter. It's that endorphin high you get. Weeeeeeeeee! I also lift weights 2-3 times a week. Me Hulk, arrg.I love sports. Specifically the Orlando Magic and the NBA. Props to the Miami Heat for bringing the state of FL another professional sports title. Love the NFL and the Tampa Bay Bucs. I am a Gator fan but my heart lies with Alabama ... ROLL TIDE FOREVER!!!Movies are another love of mine. I'm pretty eclectic in my movie tastes although comedy and horror rank the highest.

I'd like to meet:

Hilarious, artistic, wacky, personable, adverturous, music and movie loving people from all across the land. The journey rolls on ...

Music:

U2 is definitely my all time favorite band. I've seen them 15 times now and every time just gets better. Bono works a crowd like no other rock star on the planet. Here's just a few artists I enjoy. U2, Pink Floyd, The Foo Fighters, The Eagles, Maroon 5, Billy Joel, Bad Company, John Mellancamp, Queensryche, Bruce Springsteen, Triumph, Robbie Williams, Evan escence, Stevie Nicks, Rush, The Donnas, Billy Idol, Jane's Addiction, Shelby Lyne, Yaz, Ozzy, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Coldplay, Echo and the Bunnymen, Nirvana, Pink, Enya, David Bowie, The Killers, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Supertramp, Queen, The Who, Pat Benatar, The Go Go's, Garbage, David Gray, INXS (mostly Michael Hutchence stuff but I do like the new), The Police, The Verve, Hoodoo Goorus, R.E.M, The Cult, Eminem, The Doors, The Clash, New Order, Blondie, The Beatles, Velvet Revolver, Seal, Radiohead, Van Halen, Keane, Chicago, Fiona Apple, Cheap Trick, The Cars, Pearl Jam, Midnight Oil, Moby, The Alarm, Beck, Stone Temple Pilots, Dido, Sheryl Crow, Rage Against the Machine, Oingo Boingo, Sublime, Nine Inch Nails, Live, Fleetwood Mac, John Lennon, James Blunt, Angels and Airwaves, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Styx, The Kinks, Nik Kershaw, Green Day, Joan Jett, Simple Minds, XTC, Sammy Hagar, Bob Seger, Lenny Kravitz, Tears for Fears, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Judybats, Pavement, Staind, Smiths, James, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffet, P.O.D., Oasis, Love and Rockets, Kylie Minogue (she's a fine looking woman!), T.S.O.L., Journey, ELO, Yes, Foreigner, and about a thousand other bands I'm forgetting. I have a lot of guilty pleasures, musically-speaking, and I make no apologies for them. There is of course the 80's new wave genre with some bands like Men at Work, Naked Eyes, Thompson Twins, The Outfield, Tears for Fears ... and many ... many others. Some other guilty pleasures include (but are sadly not limited to) Bee Gees, Prince, Kelly Clarkson (she's a cutie), Madonna, George Michael, REO Speedwagon, and Tina Turner. Throw in a little new age and classical and that should cover it.

Movies:

GoodFellas - JAWS - Braveheart - Donnie Darko - Office Space - Boogie Nights - Rocky(the entire story) - The Departed - Animal House - Wedding Crashers - Fight Club - Magnolia - Kill Bill 1&2 - Scarface - Swingers - Pulp Fiction - Blow - True Romance - Lords of Dogtown - The Matrix - Seven - American Beauty - Batman Begins - Superman - Superman Returns - Forrest Gump - Titanic - Smokey and the Bandit - Stripes - Ghost - Old School - Best in Show (Chistopher Guest is hilarious) - Scream - The Doors - Austin Powers (all three) - The Outsiders - Good Will Hunting - Back to the Future - Almost Famous - The Big Lebowski - Stand By Me - The Thing - Minority Report - Tombstone - The 40 Year Old Virgin - Spun - Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Spiderman 1&2 - Blade Runner - GO - Young Frankenstein - Monty Pythons the Holy Grail - Blazing Saddles - Wayne's World - Dazed and Confused - The Jerk - There's Something About Mary - Heavy Metal - 1941 - Scary Movie - Tron - The Silence of the Lambs - Rudy - Stand By Me - The Empire Strikes Back - Alien - Big Wednesday - The Endless Summer. I own about 400-500 DVD's so I'm obviously diverse in my movie tastes.

Television:

Entourage - Weeds - Brotherhood - Dexter - Deadwood - Workout - The Sopranos - LOST - The OC - American Idol (I know ... guilty pleasure)- Heroes - Nip/Tuck - Rescue Me - The Wire - Veronica Mars - Intervention - Blowout - Smallville - Medium - Cheaters - Supernatural - Six Feet Under (miss that show) - Prison Break - The Office - My Name is Earl - and I'd really love to start watching 24 from the very beginning. There's a lot of cool stuff on A&E and the Discovery Channel as well. South Park and Robot Chicken are always nice guilty pleasures.

Books:

I'm honestly more of a magazine reader but I do enjoy self help books like health and exercise books, etc. You: The Owners Manuel, Bob Greene books for example.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ - Bono - Christopher Reeves - Michael Jordan - Michael J. Fox - James Kim - Steve Irwin (aka The Crocidile Hunter) - Our Troops Overseas! - The Brave Men and Women of the NYPD and NYFD that sacrificed their lives on 9/11 - and of course ... the moms and pops.

U23D

As a diehard fan of U2 since 1982 ... I'll admit that there is some obvious bias towards this film. I can honestly say that even if I weren't a fan of the band ... I would still find this film exhila...

Movies!

I've never been a huge Will Smith fan. I've always thought he seemed like a pretty cool guy ... but with his head (along with pimping his family) firmly up his arse. That brings me to my movie revie...
