My Interests

Supporting and creating the arts as well as breaking down cultural differences. I enjoy fair trade coffee, american made shoes and french wine. I would like to collect social security one day but will enjoy retiring in Ireland if I get dual citizenship and collect on their benefits. Education is also provided by the state to their citizens and its economy is growing in something other than debt. (Can you say China) Active protestor to the war in Iraq. I would also like to see more support for the UN, meeting the Global Millenium Goals from the G8, as well as aid relief in Niger and Mali. We need to build lasting peace in Algeria, Liberia, Sudan, Uganda, Angola, Rawanda, Burundi, DR of Congo: (the Lord's Resistance Army and the Janjaweed are the real terrorists), the Balkans, Sri Lanka, Columbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Lebanon as well as aid assistance to the victims of natural disasters brought on by global warming. So donate, engage and never give up.

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for clean, eccentric, intellegent, stylish, progressives and/or other characteristics that are variables. If you like long walks on the beach nekkid then your in luck, cause I'm Irish and were supposed to be lucky. Except for that damm Murphy's Law. I'd also like to meet the next generation that Bono blesses before birth.

Music:


Get this video and more at MySpace.com Sorry to those that appreciated my previous entry here. It got deleted when I switched videos from the Streets to the Clash. I hope you like the new East bloc Warsaw Pact territory meets West bloc EU Prague. I think it fits with the whole Black diamonds meets white hands motif. Favorite Kanye West quote, "George Bush doesn't like black people." lol///// Yes I changed the video once more. Its a little more light hearted. Incase you were worried I was getting too serious I've provided the lastest Welsh sensation Goldie Lookin Chain. Alright now I've posted a song that helped me get through the Summer of 2003.

Movies:

As a video store manager I lived life in live technocolor sinemascope 24/7. You too can capture your image to be preserved beyond your dying day by submitting me a script with a list of your special talents so I can tell you if you fit the bill or not. Remember this is war time so becareful when you sleep. Even Marlon Brando can't always handle the horror. Jack Nicholson told me you can't handle the truth but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.Favorite Movie Quote which was in response to being asked how the Duke of Earl knew he was the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. " I realized that when I talked to God I was talking to myself. Therefore I must be God" /

Television:

I hate to say it but no one is immune to the idiot box anymore. So heres the list. Sopranos, Chappelle Show, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, The L Word, West Wing, Boston Legal, Cowboy Bebop, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan, Cosby Show, MAD, Kids in the Hall, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Simpsons, Family Guy, Law and Order, Criminal Minds, Dexter, the Tick, Aressted Development, Jackass, Significant Others and the Canadian classics Red/Green Show and Trailer Park Boys. International History Channel, DWTV, Fuse, CNN and PBS. Favorite BBC programs are Monty Python, Benny Hill, Father Ted-Irish Priests on BBC, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served?, New Tricks, Murder City, 11th Hour, Da Ali G Show, Extras, Rome, Tsunami: The Aftermath, the Smoking Room, Peepshow, Coupling and Goodness Gracious Me.

Books:

Big fan of political books(i.e. Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Al Franken, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Michael Moore and other liberal pundits) Tolkien was cool when I was a kid. I enjoy Orwellian fantasy and Harry Potter is pretty swell. I'm a Dr. Suess supporter expect when it came to live action full length remakes on film. I als enjoyed his WWII films for the military. Douglas Adams Hitchhicker's Guide and Francesca Lia Block who wrote Dangerous Angels. I was also a fan of Please Kill Me and catch 22. Other cultist radical writers I like are Poe, Burroughs, Kafka, Thompson, Plath, Bukowski, Lewis Carroll and Dan Brown. I'm big on religiously themed books too except I hate those Left Behind books because I think their conservative propaganda.
