I'm better each time - try me

About Me

Well, where to start,

I am the proudest father of my lovely boy.

Also I am a, painter, yoga enthusiast who likes to jog, drink wine, dance and watch movies. I believe that happiness comes from with-in; if one is not happy with themselves they will never be happy with anyone else.

I have been educated in the arts and computers. I work in computers but love the arts I still paint and enjoy it very much.



My Interests

Dancing, Music, Movies, Coffee, Gaming, Laughing, Yoga

Music:

I like music, I like finding new music, and there are not many types of music that I can not find something redeeming in. Like movies there are so many good ones amongst the bad.

1. TMBG (I have to give the plug to the old school)
2. Iron and Wine
3. Son Volt
4. James
5. Postal Service
6. Modest Mouse
7. Fugees
8. Soul Coughing
9. Red House Painters
10. Cake
11. PIXES
12. This list could go on for hours so I am killing it here . . .

Movies:

I love movies, bad ones good ones some of my favorites

1. Ideal Husband
2. Amelie
3. Shakespeare In Love
4. 10 things I Hate about you
5. Lord of the Rings

There are so many more that love but are not every day movies like Ragging Bull, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, and I could not leave out sci-fi if I am going to be totally honest, Babylon Five, FireFly, and of course Buffy.

Television:

I do not watch much TV, mainly because I don’t find that I am home a certain time every week or I do not want to be chained to my TV.

There are shows I enjoy, BattleStar Galactica being one of them.

Books:

Letters To A Young Poet is one of the most moving pieces of literature I have ever read. It is a must read for anyone who wants to do anything creative.

There are many other books that I have enjoyed. Here are a few...

The Harry Potter Books
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri.

And so many other sci-fi and pulp novels.

Forgive me because I am feeling reflective and rambling I blame it on the caffeine:

I am so not me, or it would probably be better stated that I am not who I used to be.    I became super aware of my un-me-ness on a recent grocery shopping trip, as I was going through the ...
