About Me

I am a wealth of useless information, a fan of the ole bicycle, a racecar driver, a rock connoisseur and I tend to call people “Fireball” when they get saucy. I am a traveler, a relatively successful colorblind photographer, a student, a designer, and I seek out learning experiences. I love a good live show a quality movie and some quality laid back fun with my friends.Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, 2007Jimmy Keeney rippin' a turn on Pikes PeakLivigno Italy, Steve Peat rips through the roots like no-one else canNiki Gudex, night riding in Beautiful Colorado Springs, CO Hannah Hannah

I'd like to meet:

I have some great friends but I wouldn’t mind meeting some more. Send me a note, say “Hi.” I apologize in advance if I am slow to reply. I have one request though. Send me a note; don’t just add me as a friend. I am not here to collect “friends” whom I never hear from.

Music:

Music? Well I like just about all music. I would say that the music I listen to the most is Rock'n'roll or hip hop. My ipod is topped off right now with just about every genre of music.I can't keep up with all the groups that I listen too, so here is what is currently cool for me.Supersuckers- They have a new album out and I always rock the great songs from their old albumsMF Doom/Dangerdoom/Viktor Vaughn Yeah, that is all the same guy and I have a lot of his music playing on a regular basis.Tenacious D-Seriously, it makes me laugh and it rocks... what more could you needNirvana- Unplugged- I am going to be honest, I try really hard to get tired of this album, but I can't... I guess I will have to listen to it a bit longer eh?Guano Apes- Sandra Nasic is the greatest "chick that rocks" ever... I guess that is just my opinion, but seriously, she has a voice that was meant for heavy rock music!Gnarls Barkley- Man this album has been growing on me. I listened to it the first time and put it away for about 2 weeks. Now I can't stop listening to it.The shuffle feature is usually rockin' on my ipod or itunes so with 5200 songs I can get quite a bit of variety in the day.

Movies:

one word...Netflix

Television:

I am a nerd. Yes, I said it. I am a big fan of the Discovery channel. I have been a fan of TLC and the History channel, but alas, I don't get those channels on my ultra basic cable...so I like the Discovery channel.

Books:

Typically I read real life adventure. When I have time... One of my favorites was The Endurance.I just finished "Blink" and "The Tipping Point" I guess I was on an Malcolm Gladwell kick. Recently I just read "Misquoting Jesus." Which talks about the history of scribal changes, why they came about and the process of finding them. (please refer to my "I am a nerd" comment from the television section)

Uh, yeah, so I don't drink.. I mean, seriously, I don't drink EVER. I never had a problem with that at all, I still don't. I am surprised at how many people this seems to offend or just baffle. Common...

Holy Crap

Wow, so I got a Powerbook Pro a couple months ago and was a bit disappointed to find that the CD drive was a bit cranky. It worked then it didn't work and of course when I took it to the Apple store i...

WOW!!

I have seen so many things done on a bike in my life it is ridiculous. I am always fascinated when people do something I haven't seen before and sometimes I look back at things that seemed so possible...

The Worst Movie...

Well while out on the town last night we decided that we didn't really feel like being out on the town. What else could we do? Well conveniently Netflix had delivered the 1975 movie of the minute: "...
