About Me

My Interests

Baseball, music, playing my guitar, art. Raising my two boys.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone on the Cardinals baby!!! Perhaps musicians I really respect. My late father would be a good start.

Music:

It's easier to tell what I don't like. That would be pretty much anything modern pop or country. Some current faves...Pink Floyd, Metallica, Godflesh, Hammerhead (the Amphetamine Reptile Records version!!), Cows, Helmet, Johnny Cash, Eagles, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Muse, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Failure...I could go on forever here!

Movies:

Excalibur, Cloverfield, House of Flying Daggers, Stars Wars, Lord of the Ring Trilogy, Night of the Living Dead, Glory, Goodfellas, The Godfather, Big Trouble In Little China, The Last Emperor, The Ring, Halloween, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Akira

Television:

Watching my Cardinals, anything on Adult Swim: Family Guy, Futurama, Samurai Champloo, Squidbillies, World Series of Poker (in an alternate universe I am a multi-millioniare poker champ). The Kansas City Chiefs and sports in general.

Books:

Historical, science and philosophical books.

Heroes:

My grandfather. I don't have very many heroes, that title is reserved for people truly deserving of it.

Winter Meetings

World Series Champs!!!

Well, they did it. I can't believe it. As I type this everything still seems like a hazy dream. When Wainwright threw that last slider to Inge to get the third strike to end the World Series I thought...

Mulder Out...Wells In?!

Well, Mulder did it again. Way too many earned runs and not nearly long enough innings. Only an inning and a third. What a joke. I remember the thud in my stomach when I realized we had traded away Ha...

Reality setting in...
