My Interests

Writing, movies, good conversation, a nice cigar, and long walks on the beach. What? You have a problem with walking on the beach?

I'd like to meet:

Not really sure, how am I supposed to know until I meet them? Always happy to talk, so I guess pretty much anyone.

Music:

Obsessed with Johnny Cash these days, but also loving the music of James Blunt, Paul Simon, and everything Dave Matthews. Well, everything but the most recent album, which kind of sucked.

Movies:

The standard answer for people who ask what my favorite movie is:"The Natural".But I've been getting this question a lot lately, so other movies have been added:"Never Cry Wolf", "Shawshank Redemption", "Antitrust", "The Frighteners", "Ed Wood", "Dodgeball: A True Underdog's Story", "Finding Nemo", "Dawn of the Dead".And the standards that must be mentioned: "Star Wars" (1. Empire Strikes Back, 2. Star Wars, 3. Revenge of the Sith, 4. Return of the Jedi, 5. Phantom Menace, 6. Attack of the Clones), "Indiana Jones" (1. Last Crusade, 2. Raiders, 3. Temple of Doom), "Shawshank Redemption".

Television:

The Shield, My Name is Earl, Star Trek (you know, back when it was still around), The Office, Supernatural, Smallville

Books:

Most of John Crichton's books, and everything by Tony Hillerman. Huckleberry Finn is another favorite.

Heroes:

Honestly, can't say I have any.
