My Interests

Music in general, guitars, photography, running, cooking, biking, ore mining, deep sea exploration, astro-physics, orthoscopic surgery, advanced fluid dynamics, 14th century literature, and Yahtzee. I freakin' love Yahtzee.

I'd like to meet:

Frank Zappa. Tony Shaloub. Alton Brown. Colonel Sanders. Jimmy Page and/or Robert Plant. George Harrison.

Music:

Jeez, where do I start? I'm pretty much game for anything but modern country. Among the top of this list are Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Willie Nelson, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Maynard Ferguson, Woody Herman, Frank Zappa, Dave Matthews, and J.P.'s Sister. I tend to avoid any group that gets too politically charged as I believe that music doesn't even need a message to change the world. Miles Davis did it and he didn't say a damn word.

Movies:

Even though I work in a video store, I don't watch a lot of movies. But, I do have my favorites. All 3 Godfathers, the Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, the Big Lebowski, all things Tim Burton, Carlito's Way, Secondhand Lions, etc

Television:

I'm a sucker for informational stuff. Laugh all you like, but I like cooking shows and do-it-yourself-type-stuff.

Books:

The Watermelon King, Stranger in a Strange Land, A Wrinkle in Time, Musician's Friend catalogs....

Heroes:

Louis Pasteur.
