About Me

If you know me then you know I don't like writing about myself!

My Interests

Everything I can't do while I'm in school! - Being OUTSIDE in sparsely populated places, Scuba Diving, Hiking, Camping, Traveling, Fishing, Reading (for fun),

I'd like to meet:

People who make me laugh and smile

Music:

Just about anything made before 1990 (with some exceptions) - after that I pretty much quit paying attention. Old time acoustic, Johhny, Merle, Willie (I don't need to include last names here), John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, Sinatra, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Elvis Costello, Buena Vista Social Club, Dr. John, Credence, Old Crow Medicine Show, Jerry Garcia acoustic music (and yes, The Grateful Dead), David Grisman, Bill Frisel, Clapton, John Prine, early Rolling Stones, Neil Young, The Band, Orbison, Tom Waits, The Talking Heads, Traveling Wilburys and lots of others that I can't remember right now.

Movies:

The Usual Suspects (Someday I would like Kevin Spacey to play me in a movie...), Anything by Wes Anderson or the Cohen brothers (I grew up with the Dude and Walter lived just down the road from me so watching the Big Lebowski is like old home week for me)

Television:

What is this tele-vision of which you speak?

Books:

My bookshelves sag from the weight of tomes I am waiting to read once I am done with classes.

Heroes:

Faith Flippinger (if you don't know who this is, please google her - she was my elementary school teacher, and the most caring and selfless person I have ever known), the world needs more people like her.
