About Me

I am a pretty simple guy. It was by design I guess. I am unfortunately shy and reserved and more often than not it is assumed I am arrogant. I am crazy like Robin Williams, my mind moves so fast that I can barely contain myself. But, my demeanor is calm and collected. Talk about internal conflict. I care so much that it appears I don't. A rather strange issue to fight internally.I have all the psychological issues you could probably have. You think of the acronym and I probably have it. I luckily have a therapist that doesn't charge me. I just fix her broken things and we call it even. I enjoy fixing things. Rarely do I see a leaky faucet or a broken toilet bobber as a major problem, but instead I see it as a new thing I get to fix. I am weird like that I guess. I long to buy a full on house at some point instead of just have a condo with NO garage. I don't need fast cars, just need every tool in the New Yankee Workshop in my garage. Then, leave me alone and let me build with my toys for a little while and I am happy. Fortune and glory are the traits of any man, but, I think after 32 years of life and not having one roll model represent fortune and glory as a great thing, I am starting to rethink things. The future is still up in the air, so will see.

I'd like to meet:

Just people that feel the same way as me about some of the major things in life, but would never want to be with someone who is exactly like me. Not that I think I am bad, but who wants to look in the mirror for the rest of their lives. Certainly not me.

Music:

I enjoy most of the mainstream and even some of the old school metal and rock and roll. Eric Clapton, Ozzy Osborne, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, David Gray, Beatles, Phish, Bruce Hornsby, Screeching Weasel, Iron Maiden, Green Day, Cold Play, Allman Brothers, Pantera. Only like some country music. Sara Evans I seem to like, I must, I watched a 2 our MHD special. Ahhh somebody just shoot me already.

Movies:

First Blood, Christmas Story, the Goonies, Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars, Clash of the Titans and also love a lot of the comedies like Dumb and Dumber, American Pie, Something About Mary, Uncle Buck. I like the epics too like Lord of the Rings. Have a place for war films also and historical dramas. Controversial films seem to intrigue me too. Fog of War was really interesting to me, however, I think for most it would be cheap Ambien. Crash was great and American History X was another that was quite thought provoking. Its gotta leave me thinking...I recommend renting the movies where only one copy exists. Finding a needle in the haystack of movies is always better in my opinion.

Television:

UFC, Discovery Channel, Iconoclasts, History Channel, House, Actors Studio, This Old House, Inked, Rides, Frontier House, Dr 90210, Road Trip. RealTime with Bill Maher(Love this show), RealSports, Cathedrals of the Game, Celebrity Poker, National Geographic INHD, Texas Ranch House, Discovery HD, MHD(a favorite right now), Huff, Weeds, Sopranos ...

Books:

I am currently reading "Eat, Drink, and be Merry" by Dr. Dean Edell. Listening to his show in High School while delivering blueprints got me through the day. I was fascinated by all the stuff. His life is rather interesting too. He ate from dumpsters. You gotta bow to that.

Heroes:

My parents of course, my sister, people who break away from the social norm and those that admit they are flawed.

Something I thought about while not sleeping last night

I have often wondered why couples are not ok with this whole private investigator thing. I am referring to spouses hiring someone to check out whether or not they are cheating. I personally could neve...

A change in thinking

My stepdad called last night and I realized after talking to him that what I think I should do to be a good person, is in fact not good. We had talked for a while and he said he felt he needed to cal...

Planet in Peril

I think like many I have been watching this "Planet in Peril" and I have to say it is very cool. I admire Anderson Cooper a lot and so I tend to watch whatever he does. And, I even think Jeff Corwin i...

Although I hate to say it

The biggest contribution we can make to the future, is getting fixed. The world just simply can not handle more consumers. One more body, is just one more consumer of gas, electricity, food, you name ...

Suze Orman

I decided to really watch this woman tonight and I have to admit, I love her. She is a lesbian, but if she ever decided to turn a new leaf, I have to admit, her attitude alone would do it for me...

A personal flaw I have noticed

I am baffled

Commercials have become sooo dumb that I am always in wait for "Geico. 15 minutes could save you... or less on auto insurance" when it doesn't come, I feel we are headed down a bad road.

Sun of God

I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me everyday. And the things it ...
