About Me

I'm 34. I have been accused of being middle aged, that's actually a very funny story. Maybe I'll tell you one day. I love skateboarding even though it's been collecting dust in my garage. I also have a thing (fetish) for all things radio control, with an emphasis on flying. i have a couple of little electric 3D airplanes and helicopter and i am in the process of purchasing a much larger electric WWII warbird (Junkers JU-87 Stuka) much to my wife's dismay. Speaking of which, i happen to be married to the most wonderful women in the history of women silly enough to marry me. Seriously though, she's great and i love her.

My Interests

Cooking dinner and making fires in the fireplace for my wife and I. R/C flying when the weather is more accommodating and I can figure out whats wrong with the stupid motor.

I'd like to meet:

People who like middle aged men in hardcore band t-shirts, although if you're a waiter and you comment on that fact you might get a reduced tip. There, now you know the story.

Music:

the postal service-black eyes-the locust-joshua fit for battle-clikitat ikatowi-the black heart procession-black cat 13-blood brothers-the crimson curse-festival of dead deer-jenny piccolo-swing kids-orthrealm-born against-arab on radar-tarot bolero-melt banana-i am spoonbender-throwdown-poison the well-walls of jericho-eighteen visions-scarlet-disembodied-martyr a.d.-

Movies:

lost in translation-eternal sunshine of the spotless mind-punch drunk love and pretty much anything by the cohen brothers.

Television:

We don't have cable, other than the internet. We have rabbit ears. So i watch a lot of dvds thanks to netflix. Venture Brothers season one kicks ass though(i own it).

Books:

right now anything by jared diamond. the third chimpanzee is great. tells why we are not humans seperate from the animal world, but genetically just a third species of chimpanzee. guns, germs, and steel is great if you want to know where society originated and why the world ended up as it did. and if you want to know why we like to fuck, then read why is sex fun, the evolution of human sexuality. all by dr. diamond. oh, and thanks to my beautiful wife paige for getting me 2 out of 3 of those books, and dr. tom gross for the other one.

Heroes:

The World is divided into armed camps ready to commit genocide just because we can't agree on whose fairy tales to believe. In the end, Religion will kill us all. -- Ed KrebsHe hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife. -- Douglas Adams
