About Me

Hmmm... Not too much- I kinda like to maintain a "Man o' Mystery" profile. I live in Tacoma,WA just south of Seattle.I love to travel... especially to places I've never been before. There are so many different peoples and cultures out there! To date, I have visited 28 countries on 6 continents. I haven't quite figured out how to get to ANTARCTICA, yet! I've also touched the soil of 49 states... I haven't made it to Alaska- it's soooo close, too!I have a passion for experiencing life to it's fullest! I like meeting and networking with new people, and keeping up with old friends.FYI- (For all you whiny people out there) My "Top Friends List" is not a popularity contest. With the exception of the 1st couple of people... the order is dictated by who I have been conversating with most recently and that I find TRULY fascinating! So if you absolutely MUST be in my top 16... Let's talk!

My Interests

SEAHAWKS SUNDAY, BABY! ESPECIALLY during a Seahawks game!
Myspace Layouts

I'd like to meet:

Oh Hell.... where do I start? I s'pose I would really like to meet Bill Cosby. I've seen him in concert a couple of times but I would really like to just sit and rap with the guy... he seems to have some important things on his mind- PLUS he makes me laugh.Each and every one of you, of course... OK- maybe not ALL of you... but definitely the ones that want to take the time to stop by and say "Hey".

Music:

I like a little bit of just about everything... From Hinder to Aerosmith to David Sanborn to Kenny Rogers to Creedence Clearwater Revival to Spyro Gyra to Rob Zombie to Van Halen.... and the list goes on and on! Lately, I've been listening to SweetPunch- Check out the video on You Tube! Be sure to Leave a Rating! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61I_um9wxv4

Movies:

I love movies... NO COMMERCIALS! I don't really have one I could call my favorite. I like a lot of flicks!If you have a favorite... let me know. See if I've seen it. I probably have.

Television:

I don't have a whole lot o' time for TV watchin'. But when I DO watch... it is almost always to watch CSI (THE best show on television today!) I can tolerate CSI:Miami and loathe CSI: NY I really had high hopes for NY because I generally enjoy Gary Sinese as an actor. I also really enjoy HOUSE. I'm just really glad I don't have a doctor as pissy as House! AND the world stops spinning if there's a Seahawks game on! I REALLY enjoy watching football- But could live without watching- UNLESS my beloved SeaChickens are playing! :-P

Books:

I live for a good mystery! Maybe these inspired my use of the fedora?? I have read a lot of J.A. Jance's Detective Beaumont novels. I think I connect with these because they're based in the Seattle area. I also enjoy the medical suspense novels of Robin Cook.
