Inland Empire Strikes Back

About Me

I was new to the Inland Empire, and was here to help it conquer surrounding empires and establish its rightful place as the leader of the lesser outland empires.Mission accomplished, I head home...

My Interests

Listening for hostile "chatter"

I'd like to meet:

Those that understand and appeciate the might and right of the empire that lies inland of the outland.

Music:

Inspiring marching music. Bagpipes are acceptable. Drums and laser sounds a plus.

Movies:

Who has time for them? The fate of the Empire is at stake.

Television:

Don't have one or need one.

Books:

Yes! I've published one so far (publisher, John Wiley & Sons, released Oct. '04). Any guesses?Hint: No, this first one wasn't about SoCal valley imperialism. I'm saving that for my follow-up.

Heroes:

Attila, Hannibal, Jessica Simpson

People say the Inland Empire is dull ...

Little do they know the full breadth and scope of arts and recreational activities available to us. A few highlights: Inland Empire Pomeranians: http://www.continentalmarketing.com/pompage.htm ...

So it's spring time...

... and the sun is shining (finally!) and the birds are singing and I have to say, for the first time in a loooong time, I'm feeling pretty good about things. :-)

Wanderlust

I have to hand it to the Europeans and those select few in academia... having long vacations counts for a lot. It seems bizarre to me that in a society that is so fixated on status and wealth, that so...
