-Experiencing Other Cultures,Traveling, Beer, Driving Range, Concerts, Dancing, Live Bands, Beer, Bowling, Drinking, Arena Football, , NHL, Skydiving, Movies, Beer--NEW YORK CITY, My favorite place on the entire fucking planet!! Been there several times and it gets better every time.
Most anyone really. It'd be cool to run across someone who would be into seeing a band like Killswitch Engage in concert (guy or girl, I could care less which). I could use the cookiecutter myspace.com passage; "Only positive people need apply!" with a pic of a smiley face next to it............fuck that. A song called "Battery" Metallica did back in '86 best sums it up for me. A battery has gotta have equal amounts of positive and negative to work. Too much of one or the other and it won't function. That's the conviction I have as far as meeting people goes, and life in general. I like meeting people who are positive, but I also get just as big of a kick (if not bigger) of meeting the more cynical characters out there. They keep things grounded and are funny as hell. I've made friends of both types via myspace.com and hope to continue doing so.-

My hero would definitely be my younger brother, Curtis. I don't call him LITTLE brother, mind you, he stood 6'10" and benched over 400 lbs in his prime. Curtis and I were opposites in EVERY way and the best of friends. He lived his life like he had a death wish and I always admired that about him. He was an accomplished mountain hiker, climber, mountain man (whatever you want to call it). He was one of only a couple hundred people to go to the top of all the peaks, mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado of course) and climbed Devil's Tower, Wyoming, a half dozen times. June, 1999 a growth was found next to his Thalmus (in his brain) and after the biopsy was diagnosed as a Glialblastoma Primary, the most agressive form of cancer. After a year of living in a hospital, trying to survive the tumor, it finally got the better of him on June 17, 2000. He died very young, but he died very happy. He was LOVING the mountain thing in the end and I think that's how everyone should go out..........happy. The mountain pictures in the slide show below were taken Spring and Summer of 1998 in Rocky Mountain National Park.
